Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[Blu3m00n91]

When half the team is out of form it’s on the manager. The club can replace 2/3 players who disrupted the dressing room/past it etc. They can’t replace 6/7 players. Only a handful of players have actually performed this season. Even when we’ve won we haven’t looked too comfortable. What changes?

Feels like he's lost half the locker room.

 

[Bluewars]

Agree but if you aren’t going to play to his strengths Kane is a much better all round footballer

I dunno, i dont think kane would make us play better. 5 or 6 players look lost atm. I think the root issue is the 442 + inverted system.

He needs to rip it up and start again. I say rip it up and start again. The style of play is all on him. I don't even think you can say the players have been bad. There has been individual moments - but there always will be, but it's not that they can't find a pass - it's that they are told not to try. And if they are told to try they aren't listening - and thats on him.

Today's performance was shit, no getting around it. That we couldn't get 'up for it' after arsenal losing is a genuine concern and of course that starts with Pep. Not sure what is wrong in the camp but I don't like it.

I'm starting to think about life after the big fella. I feel like there's been enough subtle hints been dropped this season to suggest we should start to get used to the idea so I am. All good things and all that.

Yeah.
If we flop in the FA Cup and the CL then it might be time for an amicable parting of the ways.
Wacky backy team selections that everyone can see are wrong and then turn out to be wrong particularly in big games cannot be allowed to continue.
Big few months ahead will determine our future with Pep or not.

I don’t think the club would ever sack him. Pep will leave whenever he thinks he can’t get the players to do what he wants them to do any more. And it seems like we are at that point. Or at the very least, extremely close to it.

 

[Bluesince1979]

I lost so much respect for him when he called us out, the match going fans, who spend hard earned money, for being quiet

The same fans who are being marginalised by the club in favour of tourists, and he calls us out for not getting excited and making noise when the team is churning out boring, tepid football

Pep still deserves his song on Sunday.

If he walks it will be on us fans too.

Pep deserves our support now more than ever.

He’s not really been backed with players that we need. Our entire back 4 are injured all the time.

Pep is clearly not happy with things behind the scenes & a few players need to go. I also think he needs a better assistant

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

For the first time he needs to be questioned.

Team selection: Suck it up and put the best players on the pitch.

Personal Favourites: Akanji. Nowhere near good enough I dont care if he smiles at you every morning. Every fan from any club would have raised eyebrows when seeing Dias and Laporte on the bench.

Mystery exclusions: De Bruyne & Foden. No words really.

Lack of in game changes & Stubbornness : Did we ever look like scoring today ?

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

If anyone honestly thinks there will be better days after Pep is gone.. you're in for a rude awakening!

Pep is the only manager we've had that has successfully managed to change systems to win leagues and when the league adjusted, change the system up again and won leagues again.

We saw it with Mancini and Pelegrini.. too 1 dimensional, would not adapt. And we're going through a change now, but the players have gotten old so it looks worse than it is!
