Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[EdersonsSmiley]

Pep didn’t really help today. Tactics in big games like this are causing issues. No need to change it. One of the reasons I don’t see us winning champs league. Sadly

Long balls hurt us all the time & we know the teams that do it but we don’t adjust.

Still keep pep for ever but cup final type games v teams like this we will always struggle :-(

Absolutely! Pep's record in cup final games is frankly embarrassing.

Bringing on Alvarez in the 88th minute was a joke. He should have been brought on at least 15 mins earlier.

Probably shouldn't have been brought on at all. Grealish would have been a better option.

See my post, we controlled it until the players decided they wanted it to be a basketball match

same thing against Madrid last season. Game management is a real problem for some of our players

99% of the time we are too good so it doesn’t matter, but it’s a common theme that’s never gone away

the other thing that’s laughable is people on here questioning Pep and his tactics, he’s probably the greatest football mind there has ever been

So why join a football forum if you can’t discuss tactics? Might as well stay off the internet fella.

Beginning to think he can't do big games against spirited and determined sides.
Almost needs taking away for a day or two for his own good.

Wouldn’t swap him for any other manager he can’t be perfect and get it right every game lets move on to Brighton this game was good to get out of way early

No,but he doesnt seem to learn either.

There is a pattern every season,he has 3 or 4 big games in him where his head clearly goes.

I agree - but getting back to sexy, flat track bullying is papering over.

Thought his approach was cowardly yesterday. The weakest Liverpool side in about five years and he paid then far too much respect.

Our football yesterday was anemic. We never went for them, shoehorning all the midfielders in the side never works. I can't believe he gave them such a leg up.

Exactly this, when he has his occasional mad ones and tries to shoehorn Gundo, Kev, Bernie and Rodri into the same team in a big game it often ends up upsetting the balance
