Pep Guardiola - 2021/22 Performances

[Blue_Lightsaber]

There was a post on Pep saying BIGGEST FAILURE EVER.. 1 BILLION SPENT 0 CL

and this would be my reply..

We have 200 quadrillion to try again! Thanks for putting gas in your car or riding the bus which runs on gas or flying on a plane! We're not running short on money anytime soon LOL!

Never forget we're an Oil Club keeping you alive working and moving from home to work and back!

Our squad is weak for me. Pep plays from the best 13 constantly. The workrate demanded from the core of KDB, Bernie, Foden & full backs is absolutely brutal. The further we proceed the more toll it takes.

There is something to be said for that. Pep recently said he likes to work with a small group of players, but I think he underestimates the toll it takes. KdB having to leave the pitch cost us the CL. He's a player that needs to be played with as few minutes as possible as he suffers terribly from fatigue and injuries. I wish Pep would play more younger players in games that are clearly won, and take off our critical players.

Agreed about Klopp. He’s the best manager the English game has seen since Ferguson. Bar none.
Its not just that he has won a league title and come second with 97 points, and it isn’t even that he has won one, (probably two in a couple of weeks) CLs as well as making a third final.
For me it is that his whole team, whomever he picks, plays with a confidence and arrogance that only the very best managers can instill.
Liverpool never ever look beaten. They always play with a belief that they will find a way to win. Think back to the turn around against Barcelona the other year. Does anybody think City under Pep would or could turn around a first leg deficit like that? No chance. He would have spent the week leading up to that second leg telling everyone who listened that Barcelona deserved to be there and we were still learning to play like a big club.

I think he’s great and I’d be delighted to see him extend as over a long season his deficiencies can be overcome with the quality of players he has been provided with, but I’m sorry he is second to Klopp in terms of his overall ability as a manager.
Pep takes great players and keeps them great, albeit whilst flogging them to death.
Klopp takes great players and makes them believe they are unbeatable and makes very good players into beasts.

A Klopp side would not have thrown away a two goal lead going into injury time against a poor Madrid side. Our players look, and have done for some time now, like a group that cannot function instinctively. The moment Madrid scored their first we went to pieces as our ability to play through setbacks has been exhaustively coached out of us.
And why the fuck doesn’t he use our youth set up more. No point in spending millions setting up the best academy in the world if we then let it’s highest potential lads move to rivals for peanuts because they cannot get sensible game time at City. Thank god Foden is a city fan or else no doubt would have left as well.

He’s a great manager. Only a fool would suggest otherwise, but he isn’t quite the very top level a la a Ferguson or a Klopp or a clough.

I'm at a loss why not a single person seen any truth in any of that. Some of it seems really obvious. Though obviously not what we want to be true.

No it didn’t, he wasn’t having a great game and the change led to our goal.

Pep has to shoulder most of the blame for that utter shambles. A fucking under 8’s team could have managed a game better. Pretty inexplicable decision making.

Lol

I was telling my City mate, although we won at Leeds the defending was rubbish, several times during that match Leeds ran right through our midfield and if it wasn’t for blocks, deflections or saves they could of scored 3 or 4 themselves, difference was we took our chances and we didn’t last night.

Ederson doesn’t make saves if you read his thread

 

[grim up north]

If Pep was the manager back in 2012 against QPR, I would pack up my things and head home. No way we would come back from that under Pep.

You don’t halve post some fucking shite

Happy fishing with that crock of shit…

I think there’s an awful lot to be said about that. Hopefully KDB can have a good rest in the summer but we must improve our squad and give younger players a chance, especially in the cups

 

[Sir peace frog]

wouldn't swap pep for any other manager
