Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

‘WE PLAYED WITH COURAGE’ SAYS GUARDIOLA​

O yes Pep. We did. With 3 central defenders. Foden as wing back. KDB and Gundo behind Haaland. We did.

Not seen you for a while....

Interesting breakdown of peps tactics the other day.

Tbf we’re 4 points off the top already.

With Spurs & Chelsea breathing down our neck.

Pep’s fucked up a few times this season but yesterday was bordering on negligence. It was laughably bad from Pep.

We should be concerned, because if Haaland gets injured we’ll be in deep shit.

You realize we were 5 points behind at this point last year right? You realize that we were behind Liverpool who is a much better team than Arsenal right? You realize that we have won 2 titles with false 9 right?

Literally there is one super clear example that contradicts everything you say. Literally one of the wors and most laughable post I've seen in a while.

We won the title in 20/21 and we didn't start playing until November. Maybe just chill out.

And if Haaland gets injured, there are 2 options

1 - The False 9 that won 2 titles.

2 - The small insignificant matter of the South American Player Of The Year sitting on our bench.

Love pep, absolutely love him, however there’s something about City in big games where we just shit the bed, don’t turn up.

Sunday was a perfect example there, aswell as countless other matches at anfield. Cl final, Cl knockout ties, FA cup semi finals. There’s been several winner takes all occasions where we just seem to come off second best.

Hard to disagree with that mate , being honest there’s been too many one off games where we’ve failed honestly don’t know why we have , most of these we’ve been in a run of form as well.

They did. Pep didn’t.

It wasn’t the formation so much, it was the “keep the ball at all times” mantra that stopped us creating.

We have won more big games than lost the thing is when we lose a big game it’s analysed to death!

It doesn't even have to be a big game against a top team, take the villa game for example. We came close to fucking that game up luckily Pep introduced Gundo and we turned that around. I think the occasion tends to get to Pep sometimes and that's something he has to work on, still a very young manager so there's a lot of room for improvement - not necessarily with his managerial style but with his emotional attachment towards big games.

Pep probably has the best record in “big games” out of all the managers currently employed,

I feel sometimes on here posters just seem to feel we should win every game and not give any credit to the opposition. As that tactical video posted above highlights klopp surprised pep with his tactics and they have the quality of players to punish. No one shit the bed or over thought tactics etc. Liverpool just where better on the day. It happens they are also a very very good side especially at home.

Did pep get his tactics wrong first half? Yes he assumed Liveepool would play 4 2 4.

Did pep make the adjustment at halftime to rectify his error?
yes, he changed to our usual 4 2 3 1 shape

on another day that goal foden scores counts and everyone on here is saying what a genius pep is etc. Cancelo mistake probably cost us a point and the manager can’t be held accountable for a mistake made by a player.
