Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[bluealf]

Better questions at least , not so vicious after they got roasted in the first bit

Bravo pepster

He is still absolutely seething though lol

Those tut tut tut noises he makes are funny as fuck

 

[bluealf]

We wrote to the pigmol cunts after that dipper game with olivar , fuck all happened so why bother , they dont care what we say unless it is fineable

Maybe if we wrote a letter saying we have proof they are cheating cunts, then they may take notice.

I see they're all going twitter with their snidey comments because they know they don't have a leg to stand putting an article together.

Very well said. No need for the small mindedness.

Fuck Burnley!

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Well done, Pep ... he's not always good in his press conferences, if we're being honest ... but this time, when the chips are down, he has been truly brave & really done us proud.

I disagree, he is almost always class act, you need to provide some specific situations. In a meantime please allow myself to regard You as a potential moron, who thinks could be anywhere good enough to handle press conferences better by himself;)

Fuck Burnley!

Hahhaha calm down. Its about Vinny speaking his mind and supporting us. Not Burnley. Trust me I know how racist some of their fans and the people of Burnley can be. For me... Its fuck everyone and I mean everyone!

People come here for any mistake, so why not do it to praise him. His 3 in the back and how fluid we look would be impossible if Pep wouldn't overthink/try new things every week. It was so fun to watch us today and even with 3 in the back, both Laporte and Walker played as FB from time to time.

 

[skillman]

Got it spot on today. Arteta will be looking at that cursing him - a whole new system, formation and way of rotating the ball and positions while still being fluid to figure out how to counteract in 3 days.

All while we may not even play that way on Wednesday. Perfect.

I'd say we almost definitely won't play with a back 3 in midweek. It was a case of "horses for courses" today. He felt that a back 3 was capable of handling any Villa threat. And they did, up until Dias went off. After that, the intensity dropped, and sloppiness crept in. I don't think the same set up will be able to handle Arsenal’s front players. Assuming they're all fit, I'd hope to see a back 4 of Walker, Ake, Dias and Laporte (assuming Stones hasn't made a miraculous recovery). The likes of Akanji and Gomez are not of the standard we need in this type of game. Maybe we might see themin the cup tie at Bristol City in a couple of weeks' time, when Pep might be looking to give some of the big hitters a bit of a break.

If ever a press conference needed applause that was the one. He deserved the biggest cheer ever after that. Please give it to him the minute he steps out of the tunnel today folks. :-)

Not sure we even sang his name properly once all game

 

[Chris in London]

Where is he meant to go? It leaves very few clubs. So long as he doesn’t join in, he’s not responsible for his bosses.

Burnley’s ownership was different then.

VK has said his piece. There’s a reason we have a statue of him outside the Kippax

This is insane.

Agreed (aside from Akanji, still a fan of him personally). But it gives Arteta food for thought at least.

Great stuff from him yesterday, realised Villa won't play with any width so just flooded the midfield and stifled their two pacy strikers.

I love the man but I wish he would stop saying that we were great, in the second half yesterday, when we were clearly far better in the first half. I don't know what he is trying to achieve. He has done this before.

I think he knows how badly it could of gone wrong in the 2nd half. We were poor & could easily of dropped points but we kept fighting if nothing else. We didn’t drop our heads.

Good point, but the performance wasn't better than the first half.

 

[blueinsa]

This is insane.

How quickly a tiny minority forget stats like this.

Throw in a record number of goals scored and an incredibly tight defence as well.

The man is the greatest manager the game has ever seen and isn’t finished yet.

It's what he does, people take too much of what he says literally imo, when it is obviously not the case.

His mistrust of the media and their motives influences his statements - and especially so in view of the current shit the club is facing.

You are probably right.
