Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[cleavers]

Has to be some reason Garcia gets games

We're short of defenders and paying every 3/4 days perhaps ?

 

[cleavers]

he certainly doesnt look as though he is enjoying his time here

He looked happy enough to me when we took the lead last Wednesday night against Porto.

 

[Jack dukes]

do you think he looked happy at West Ham?

do you think he looked happy at West Ham?

I thought he did when we equalised, yes, less so when Raheem missed, fancy him showing emotion like a human though ?

we all have opinions right or wrong because we are human, unless its not allowed on here

This is true. But people can have opinions on other people's opinions too.

I wasn't giving an opinion, I was answering your question as to what I saw myself.

Added on to this, he continues to play Garcia when he doesn’t want to be here. It feels like if he wasn’t Spanish and heading off to Barca he would never be anywhere near the bench or the first 11

It feels like more and more posters are pushing this anti Spanish narrative. Could it be Stones is not ready to start a game and he is missing Laporte and Ake through injury.

It’s very possible, however I’m not a huge fan of players playing when they’ve stated their desire to leave and it feels as if he is given special treatment because he’s a Barca boy

I do think perhaps recruitment is an issue but surely some of these issues are injury related too? For example Stones, Mendy and Gundogan have had many injuries but overall I feel like this is a coaching problem because all those players are very talented

Add to that injury list, Laporte, Ake, Jesus and Aguero again, he has rarely had less than 5/6 senior squad players out injured together at any time this season. If they are not training they are not being coached also playing 2 games a week and the consequent travel time not to mention the health requirement for recovery leaves little time for coaching.
