Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[OrigamiNinja]

Last season Sterling scored more goals from open play than Aguero ever managed in a single season. He ain't that bad.

A perfect example of why I take some stats with a pinch of salt.

If we can get him scoring, he is a major asset. Without goals, he is a major problem.

You really need to quit with the fans don’t understand or aren’t intelligent enough to criticise the genius that is Pep.

It does not put you in a good light and makes your opinions moot.

You are a fan boy pure and simple.

Time will tell WNRH.

Fans are entitled of their opinions. It's great that they can voice their concerns. I think that some of them are too harsh on Pep. Only time can tell though.

I forgot that Manchester City are the only football club who have been affected by a worldwide pandemic since March 2019 and completely forgot the decline in the previous months before that.

I've had my rants at Pep on here. He isn't perfect. It's also not just the pandemic that has affected the way we play. No fans, rule changes half way through the season. Bullshit decisions going against us and for others.

@I'm Blue has it right in his thread. We're trying a new way, give Pep and the team time.

Still not a natural footballer though no matter how many tap ins he bagged against shite last season.

Since his new assistant came in our level of play has gone backwards at quite an alarming rate.

We’re about a third of the way into the league season and he doesn’t seem any nearer to getting any fluency into our attacking play.

I hope he can find a spark from somewhere because at the moment it really feels like he and the team are going through the motions.

Last season post-restart we scored more goals and kept more clean sheets than anyone since he came in. Compare that to the start of that season until Arteta left and Lillo comes off better. It's likely that neither had too major of an impact, at least in terms of our play style. That'll still be Pep.

There's absolutely zero evidence that Lillo has had any major effect on the team. Our struggles now I will say with confidence are almost certainly unrelated to him.

He doesn't learn from past mistakes

Weren't his past mistakes playing overly boldly against United and losing 3 times due to being counter attacked?

 

[Goater=Legend]

We look better defensively which was a huge problem last season but it seems to be having an affect up top

Mahrez and Sterling shouldn't be our first choice wingers tbh

No, not playing Foden again is what I was getting at. Not to mention He played Mahrez again.

 

[mccity]

No, not playing Foden again is what I was getting at. Not to mention He played Mahrez again.

Maybe that's true, but he's clearly learnt from at least 1 past mistake by the way he changed the team today.

He shit it against the scousers at home and now against the shite
