Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[FantasyIreland]

Would we have got to the final taking on board the majority view of fans? No chance. For every 1 thing he gets wrong he gets 20 things right.

He's not beyond criticism. But the idea that fans (overall) have a better sense of what the team and squad needs than Pep (both in game and holistically) is laughable IMO.

That misses the point by a distance.

No one is denying his brilliance,or the fact he got us into the situation of competing in a final.....the problem is the need to fix what isn't broken on occasion,that game being his most infamous,another was his game against the Rags a few seasons back when we could have secured the title.

No fan believes they know better.......but when he has a brainfart,he ensures its fucking gargantuan.

He isnt beyond criticism,well noted.....and that is what i am doing.

Thought Ortega did well against Liverpool, on the Nunez chances he covered his angles, didn't rush out, stayed big and made the striker make a decision...

really interested to see how he does in CL this time. too much talk last season of not having a striker in crucial moments, which were true especially home leg vs Real where Mahrez and Foden should have each scored their chances and win like 6-3 or 5-3 at home game.

now we have the striker, one of the best forwards currently, and another one in Alvarez, but getting to the semis and/or final will be really hard.

Pep would really love to win it, after all the wasted years in CL last few times (some shocking ones, Spurs loss, Lyon , Monaco loss) etc and also he couldnt win in at Bayern for 3 years while he probably should have won it 1x at least.

draw favours us now given Bayern/PSG and Real/Pool are stuck with each other first round.

That may be the case in those moments, but the issue is the lack of game management in those games. We went 2-0 and 3-1 up in the first leg and the game managed to finish 4-3, the second leg we have a corner in the last five minutes or so cancelo has the ball and instead of going to the corner he crosses the ball into the box when only foden was there and then the shitshow started.

Thought his subs were very poor once again yesterday. A better Team might have punished us even more . He surrendered midfield and invited a combative opponent onto us by his changes whilst leaving Mahrez and Gundogan on the pitch who are not exactly the players you look to in a scrap.

Phil was poor when he came on. Nothing Pep did though.

Why does he always hold his subs for the last 10 minutes...

A world champion who scored several goals in the World Cup and he brings him on in the 85th minute, he did the same against Brentford.
