Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[Don Karleone]

A sub may of brought fresher legs but it wouldn't of guaranteed the win

We'll never know because he's so fucking stubborn

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

I’ll be eternally grateful for the way he defended us after the PL charges. Nothing can change that.

But he is falling short of his standards this season.

His obsession with retaining possession, which was presumably sparked by the Real Madrid loss last season, is holding us back. Not only have results dropped off, but we’re also pretty dull.

He’s also far too preoccupied with opponents’ strengths rather than playing to ours.

And the striker we waited 2 years for looks utterly fucked off now, understandably.

I really hope Pep isn’t too stubborn to go back to the drawing board.

Or if he brought a sub on it would of altered the balance of the team but not to their overall benefit.

With such quality on the bench but not using any sub was beyond a joke!

I think Pep has been scared from all the near misses in the Champions League. Let's get back to getting on the front foot and taking the game to the opposition.

Come on mate, that was weak and passive as fuck second half.

It was a poor game but we didn't get beat and i think we'll beat them at ours.

Give RB Leipzig some credit they are in an lengthy unbeaten streak.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Terrible tonight. No lessons learned from the Forest game. We’re under the cosh so how about bringing some tactical subs on to neutralise their threat!!! At least do fucking something. Absolute carbon copy of the Forest match and for a world class coach to allow that to happen is not good enough. 2/10 tonight.

well we certainly had many more exciting teams in the past.

other day watched some of the runs and speed we showed in Pellegrini's first season when all Nasri, Dzeko, Negredo, Kun were in top form even Nolito, Navas plus Yaya, Silva etc. etc.
or the Centurion season ...

this countless passing between Akanji, Walker, Ake, Rodri, Mahrez, Grealish with not much played in for Haaland in most games, well yes, harder to watch.

but even last season with false 9, we put some serious pressure on teams a lot of times with Sterling, Jesus, Foden upfront. some frustration came from them regularly missing sitters not from not creating anything...
we lost a lot of intensity imo with Grealish/Mahrez being the main wide guys this season. we did not have a top finisher last season but we had overall hell of a lot more chances created.

now we often struggle to create 1 chance for Haaland in 90mins,, especially since the WC.

There is a lack of pace in this team. Any new signings need to be able to move quickly because at the moment we are so slow
