Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[Trojan1962]

Played late Wednesday night and decides to make late subs today Kev should have been withdrawn today

 

[Goater=Legend]

Waited too long again. Passing it around everywhere when we've got a striker upfront

 

[BlueMedic]

Still not a fan of the Grealish/Mahrez combo with no proper full backs. Totally lack pace and width.

Think we need to try something different, especially at home against these defensive sides, we seem pretty predictable and one paced.

 

[kaz7]

Very poor game management , very poor

 

[Bluewonder]

Second consecutive Premier League home game his poor selection has cost us. After playing against Leeds just 3 days ago he had to make more changes.
Players looked off the pace from the start.

 

[Trojan1962]

Usually makes 3 or 4 changes every game yet a time when it’s warranted he keeps tired players on the pitch. Crazy

 

[Delphinho]

Should have subbed in Alvarez and Foden at 60, far too late. Again

 

[Tevez City]

Someone needs to wake him up.

I will always say it, Pep’s undoing is Pep!

But for his funny attitude he could easily be the G.O.A.T of managers. He thinks he can do anything and get away with it. So many times in the past he has been a victim of his “brilliance.” Chelsea UCL finals comes to mind readily. We have little time to get a win and yet you delay bringing in Foden who should been playing 87 minutes earlier? Julian Alvarez should have been in that pitch earlier too.

We are very weak in attack despite having arguably the best finisher in world football and the reason for this is that we are low in creativity from wide areas and shoehorning Grealish on the left who is very very predictable doesn’t help to address this problem. Mahrez has his great moments but overall I am grossly underwhelmed by his contributions and I’d be seriously pushing for Pep to give Palmer, who is hungrier, the opportunity to put some fire in Mahrez’s ass whose demeanor right now speaks of one who really can’t be too bothered.

I understand that Foden has not been his best lately but his low point is much better than whatever Grealish has shown here. If you’re chasing the league, trailing by 5 points and in danger of slipping further, you need to inject some sense of urgency. You can’t really blame players for being sloppy when you yourself are sloppy in making decisions to. Hangs the course of the match.

 

[Goater=Legend]

We desperately need some pace on the wings, i dont know why he persists with Grealish and Mahrez especially with no overlapping fullbacks.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Everyone knows that making subs = better performance . Has Pep never played FIFA before??

That paring along with no attacking full backs make it easy work for opposing teams. I want to see some unpredictability added back to this team.

 

[Mancity0303]

PLEASE STOP with Grealish AND Mahrez on the wings. It's so fucking shit and easy to play against. We need PACE on the wings. Foden - Haaland - Alvarez from now on, thanks.

 

[HaalandEffect]

People forget the match with Grealish and Foden on the wings? Man Utd match?

 

[meeesh]

Not seen any post match interviews,no doubt he said we played so so good,with lots of courage

 

[Gumzy97]

It's like we are built like a cup team this season under Pep similar to how Zidane built his team around Ronaldo we are built around supplying Haaland.

Might work wonders in the champions league where teams attack us. Might be Peps thinking

Shit or bust then ? All out for CL ?

He is talking bollocks.

 

[Trojan1962]

Grealish isn’t and never has been a winger. Not fair to the lad to play him there. Pep needs to stop playing a tired Kevin into the team

Should have stopped this particular pairing after subbing both of them against Dortmund at home, which by the way changed the game when he brought on Foden, Alvarez and Bernie.
