Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[argyle]

Spot on, can’t believe with what he and the team have done the last few years, with what they have done this year, the best of any team in europe this season, that we lose a champions league final and suddenly Pep and the team are weak and shit,
FFS there being dissapointed and wishing things had gone differently, but anyone doubting these players and manager with an addition of a striker and possibly one or two ther additions can’t carry on winning things and give the c/l another good crack are fools beyond belief.
Luckily the club aren’t fools and will back Pep and the team to the hilt.

I think some of the players will be furious with Pep.

Definitely,some may never get another chance like last night.

Just four months he's been at that club and Tuchel has made them European Champions.

Pep has a set up at this club that other managers can only dream of. Yet in big games he lets his ego go crazy, experiments with the side and we lose.

He needs a bollocking from those above him.

Dont agree. Ego go crazy? Settle down mate, he chose Gundogan as DM, a role he has played successfully numerous occasions. Apart from that the other 10 were exactly the team everyone thought should play. Hardy letting his ego go mad and experimenting. I get that folk are sad, I'm gutted we didn't win it but the manager who won the Premier league without a striker, bla bla bla is the same guy that lost last night.

My only criticism of him is he wrongly assumed that playing his A team using the same tactics as deployed in the last two games would be enough to win. He was wrong. Last night was like a rerun of the first two games. Different players, same outcome.

The players won't be furious with Pep because unlike the ungrateful cretin contingent of Bluemoon, they aren't goldfish, and remember the fact he's won them 3 league titles in 4 years. They remember that they were 13th in November, and it was his management and changing of systems that won them the league they celebrated just a week ago.

We're 5 years and 10 trophies into Guardiola's reign. We have seen many games where he makes a change and it goes brilliant, and many where he makes a change and we lose. It is what it is, accept the fact we are the most successful club in the country under Guardiola and enjoy it, or decide you would rather have a manager who wasn't as good but picked the same 11 every week and start a Pep Out movement.

I bet you in the coming years you'll read that the players were furious with Pep over his team selection and tactics in the game last night.

I know you'll read in the coming years that the players all think Guardiola is the best manager they ever played under because that's exactly what all the Bayern and Barcelona and former City players say.

A role he's played once (?) this whole season, and has been routinely poor in against big sides or in big matches previously.

I think there's basis to call this egotistical, almost narcissistic. Making changes like this says to me that he's trying to have too much influence over the result himself, thinking that he's the entire team, instead of trusting his players - the players who have done the job for him and got the team to the position it's in.

At that stage we're at, get out of the way of the team and the result. He didn't need to leave his marks like this so strongly. Go and listen to other managers about what they have to say in situations like this - highly successful ones who have won multiple trophies and titles. There's a common theme - in the big moments, keep it simple. Don't give your team something they don't know or won't be comfortable with.

As much as I lay the vast majority of the blame for last night at his feet, I can't imagine the arrogance and cowardice it would take for any of those players to turn around and pass all the blame onto him.

I'm sure they will. They can think, like us, that he's brilliant but for some inexplicable reason he goes mad in the big games.

You do realise there's only 2 managers in the history of the sport who have won more trophies than Pep Guardiola?

Why are you writing comments as if he's fucking Frank Lampard?
