Pep Guardiola - 2023/24

[super_city_si]

Please for the love of God stop with this fucking awful midfield. Just fucking stop it.

 

[Stelea]

Can’t for the life of me understand why he seems so wedded to playing how we did today - wide open, Rodri hopelessly exposed in the centre of midfield, team packed with high-risk, high-reward type players. Paradoxically, it makes us much less effective in an attacking sense, and leaves us so vulnerable defensively.
If we’d had that game at the back end of last season, we’d have had Stones, Rodri, Gundogan, Grealish and Bernardo and they’d have barely got a touch, let alone a sniff at goal.

It’s as though we have lost patience as a team and we are going for broke from the off (with no reward and massive risk)

Thinking the same. Rodri was so exposed.
When Akanji steps in the midfield our wing backs play more central role with zero support for Doku and Foden.
Alvarez started all matches except one in EPL. That is OK as KdB was injured. But now we need a proper midfielder to help Rodri.

Tinkering too much

Loves a game of chess with the pochmeister does our Peppy

Yeah agree. You mean like Phil.

Pep of course is the greatest coach when looked at over seasons /campaigns. Sometimes his management over a string of games leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[Haaland94]

Our worst player tonight. He nullified what was best about Kevin, Phil, Julian, and Manuel with a weird formation and benched Stonesy and Bernie. Inexcusable.

 

[Tevez City]

Its Pep fault.

They must both have been struggling. Surely.
