Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[WNRH]

If we won tonight he would be hailed a genius. Our last two games against Chelsea ended in defeat. He decided to give the pack another shuffle.

4th times a charm?

Wouldn’t have made a difference, KDB was woeful. We were better when he went off.

Match winner. There have been times where he was quiet but popped up with a winning goal (Real Madrid away) and a game changing goal in the semi final vs PSG.

The thing is, you only take a gamble if you're the underdogs and the odds are against you, you don't take a gamble when the cards are stacked in your favour and you just have to do the same thing you've been doing all season that's led the team to that point to win.

It's like playing pontoon as the house, the player sticks on 18, you draw 19 and still decide to twist.

This 100 %...we didn’t play them once with our normal setup WITH our best 11. It’s not like they had “worked us out” and we had to try something left field.
The onus is on THEM to change things up.
Our normal formation would have battered them with Dinho or even Rodri, just like we’ve smashed teams all season
Instead players were out of position.

chelsea need multiple guilt edged chances to score, they’re not clinical up front, otherwise we would have been 3 down at half time.
Pep spooked himself into the team line up when all we had to do was play our normal game.
the probabilities would have been well in our favour!

 

[The perfect fumble]

Can't argue with any of this.....

Pep “ i play sterling so we can attack”

moves top scorer gundogan ti a deeper role and our most in form attacking player deeper to accommodate him. Sounds like a plan....

 

[RayCTID]

Played our only attacker with any pace who had scored vs Chelsea in the previous game and who isn't a young player who is still learning. A few of our stars got Stage fright

 

[super_city_si]

Not overthinking, he decided he could give Chelsea something else to think about. We lost both previous games with Rodri and Fernandinho in the side

But we didnt have our best attack either. neither of those games had mahrez and foden.

Will be under different manager we win the CL.

Manager who makes so many basic tactical mistakes and wont learn a thing wont win us the CL.

Whether the owners are just happy with domestic trophies is the question they need to be asking.
