Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[Lavinda Past]

Typical Pep interview.... Says little to answer the questions put to him, just fulfilling requirements.

Waste of video.

We can only hope his yearly meltdown has happened early this season and that will be the end of it after chelsea in the league and today were both so disastrous he's forced into multiple changes at halftime and this is Pep who typically doesn't make subs unless we're winning which should tell you just how bad his decisions have been this week.

Just go back to our standard game please 4-3-3 players playing in their comfortable natural positions where possible and let's find some form and preferably a way of scoring regularly that isn't just kdb crossing to Haaland as we are going to need more than that to win anything this season.

Pep please inject some pace to our play. And whenever possible buy a lb and some pace in cm

Remember the all or nothing documentary when Pep says to the team at half time in the league Cup final against Arsenal, you have to play football with courage. What has happened to Pep's courage, we are far to safe all of a sudden and its not working.

Apart from Lewis who has only just emerged almost every player is currently going backwards under Peps tutelage.

We're having a down year, sure, but c'mon... a bit reactionary

I'm giving him a pass on this one, we've got a lot of important games coming up some players needing resting and others needing game time.
The makeshift back 4 with Phillips in front looked awful and I think most things stemmed from there.
But he did have to rest some players and probably felt that Phillips Cancelo Walker and Gomez needed minutes.

Ok but tell me which players form is improving over the season so far.

Just got the feeling what ever happens this season I think he be off end of the season hope am wrong

I agree that this summer is huge for him. I hope that we are champions by the time the summer comes, but I would also hope that any trophies we may have won this season don’t cloud judgement on what we do going forward.

I sometimes choke up and think.. we could have had 0 trophies last year were it not for that 5 minute 36 second miracle against Aston Villa.

We really did seem to run out of gas at the end of the season vs West Ham and Aston Villa.

Changes were made but our midfield looks really old, slow and lethargic at times when Rodri and Bernardo are rested.

There're not many killer passes to our strikers as if the midfielders have lost a step. So its cross the ball into the box FC and pray for Haaland to get the ball.


Also there's tons of people saying our players aren't playing in their natural positions..

Maybe just maybe Pep has known the problem all along that they can't play in their "natural" positions. They have to play as part of a system.

Today they all played in their natural positions except Walker and there was no system what-so-ever!
