Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[RayCTID]

He deserves credit for moving Cancelo on mid season regardless of how short in numbers we were.

A must see, in case someone missed it in the title winning thread. Get him a statue NOW.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Just a bald fraud.

Other than De Bruyne there are no players left that pep inherited. So the question is who was the better team 17/18 or this season? I think I preferred watching the centurions team and we were more consitent in the league especially. But IF we win the treble or even the league/CL double it could easily be argued this team is better even if we were hit and miss before the world cup. Either way I think pep has had some standout moments this season regardless: integrating rico lewis, having the cajones to bin cancelo mid season, his presser following the pl charges (and going unbeaten since), john stones' midfield role, and what often goes unnoticed is how we're starting to make us of direct football again with haaland, instead of turning back to retain possetion with acres of space ahead of us - Arsenal at home was the pinnaccle of this for me, de bruyne and haaland were quality on the break

Changed our season

Well done Pep, 1 down and 2 to go.

Will be interesting to see how he keeps the team hungry over these next 3 PL games considering they are meaningless in terms of the title but so critical in terms of keeping the momentum leading to these 2 huge finals.

The rest of the Premier League - hell, the rest of English football - has changed so much since 2017/18. Back then, no-one had seen anything like it. The opposition couldn’t get the ball off us, literally. Now, 5 years on, the under 9s in your local park are playing out from the back and trying to Beat the Press.

A rising tide raises all boats. They’ll thank us one day, but no day soon. Drink it in.

And - just to show I’m not not that magnanimous in victory - take that, David Pleat, you classless fucker in your ice cream suit. This is how it feels to be City. And that is how it feels to be small.

Pep as a manager has come in and changed the leagues mentality in playing styles so much that his has started being adopted across the pyramid, pushed expected standards to where you need near maximum points a season & valued every competion not to rest players in the cups.

greatest manager in my lifetime in this league

Greatest manager ever.

I don’t think any other manager has had such an impact not in terms of a club but in terms of the game of football. Some might point to Michels and Cruyff and say he’s just implementing what they did, but if that were the case, then why did the whole of football not adapt from the 1970s onwards? The idiots in the media, and they are idiots, go on about Guardiola’s legacy in terms of pots, but the truth is his legacy is modern football.
