Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

We had a very fortunate run of fixtures before the World Cup, so for me we were well below par going into the break five points behind Arsenal. People have also become overly complacent around our ability to put a run of wins together after Christmas.
People are blind and go off what has happened before. We have played well in probably 30% of our games this season. This is not the same side. The hunger isn’t there anymore and some players just don’t seem either mentally tough enough or have the desire to do it all again. We lack leaders since Fern left and when you compare this side with sides of the recent past, it’s chalk and cheese.

Pep isn’t helping with his stupid decisions and tactical set ups either. The way we are playing and with the injury problems we have, I can’t see us getting more than 80 points this season. Rodri aside, who has been consistently good this season? I can’t think of anyone else.
 
This side has been the definition of consistency over the past 5 years, a drop in form was always inevitable.

Factor in the WC, fixture congestion and the tough set of fixtures we’ve had then our form shouldn’t really surprise anyone.

I do think we need to take more risks as a side though. 1 shot on target against United and Southampton with the talent at our disposal is simply not good enough.

Pep is obviously the man to sort it though.
 
This fucking world cup excuse is really grating now. Are we the only team had players at the world cup?
Some of them were never used or played rarely,and have had time off after as well after it.
Its all nonsense.
I know. Ridiculous. Most of our players were out by the QF and some like Cancelo, Grealish and Phillips hardly played!! That little holiday they all got seems to have done them the world of good….Not!
