Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[super_city_si]

Tactically brilliant manager , the best around but that team has zero motivation they are just going through the motions , the play to Pep's strict system , where is the passion ? we have lost real leaders in Vinnie , Yaya, Merlin, Zabs and we havent replaced them.
Maybe its not possible to replace these types of players with never say die attitudes , we have witnessed some of the best players that have ever played for our club and that era is now over.

The passion was sitting on the bench and only one got on.

Pep is creating a new team. It will take time. He will most certainly succeed. When your star players are not in form or injured out for 4-5 months, it's unrealistic to expect exciting performances.

Foden and Torres are top talents but ain't Silva and Sane yet. Bernardo is struggling for form, Kevin is not quite the same, let alone Raz. But there is no reason to think these problems are permanent and won't be solved. In December we are playing better than in November, in January we will play better than in December. The potential of the team is huge and will be gradually realised.

You are living in fantasy world. Sane was bench player for us also.

I like that Pep has changed the way we play. We have all called for a plan B or a change in the possession based play at times.

The problem is that he doesn't have the players up front to carry it out.

Playing defensive, Mourinho type football only works if u take the few chances you have and our front three miss more than they score.

Next season with new striker, or Aguero back and box to box midfielder this set up will be much better.

We were desperately short of pace and energy , Torres, Foden and Bernardo would have made a difference , we can all see that , why cant Pep ? Unless there are underlying issues fatigue, fitness etc , but we can only judge on what we watch on the pitch and as an attacking force we were abysmal today.

His post match comments are delusional.

I didnt mind them not starting, I understand protecting against united counter, but once we got to the 70 min mark and we’d bored everyone to death I couldn’t understand not bringing them in and going for it. I never thought I’d see pep settle for a 0-0.
it’s a fucking sad sight.

You are a Pep fanboy/apologist mate.

It’s not a plan b. It’s a new plan a. We still have no plan b When the new plan a isn’t working.

Pep has been criticised for only winning with established teams not building them himself. I think that has validity when I see Mahrez and Rodri perform.
