Pep Guardiola - 2023/24

[Chak19]

Classic bluemoon. All the guys who never comment on our victories come to the Pep thread as soon as we lose.

Clearly Stones shouldn't have started, and Doku should. But for Doku either KDB and Bernardo shouldn't have to start and most people would have them starting. Overall bad match from everyone bar doku

Doku one is understandable, but changing his CB pairing is not, as is leaving Stones there for 90 minutes.

Sadly all on pep today

He shown way too much respect to Utd today on the pitch

Letting players go out & get wasted & I know how much some of them did before a cup final is poor & amature

Why change Dias & akanji for stones who’s not played for weeks. Stones was shocking

Kev & Bernie should of come off same time both awful today

Why no Bob when we scored ????

Why play such a high line when we know that’s our weakness v Utd

Why ask walker to go inside when it’s not worked all seson

No need for changes in players or tactics today & that’s what cost us

However haaland was beyond shocking so we also played with 10 men

Only positives Kova & doku

I can't really disagree with any of that, esp changing the defence. Foden, KDB and Silva all struggled and Haaland looked a bit cumbersome. Doku was a positive breath of fresh air.

I agree. Bad on Pep today, just mentioning that it is always the same users who never come to congrat Pep when we win

You think he was good today? You were the one in the pre match thread who said it was a good idea to make changes at the back... That aged well.

I didnt say that , i said everyone is involved not that it was a good idea

Another in the list of Pep brain fart moments today I feel. Absolutely embarrassing that we lost to that utter shite.

Exactly.

Can't be believe Pep changed the back 4 just to give Stones and Ake a game at Centre half in the FA Cup final.

Couldn’t watch for family reasons. Surprised to see that Stones started - and assume he wasn’t going into midfield with Kovacic in there. Walker and/or Gvardiol playing higher?
Sounds like we were really poor first half - bit of a feature of our play this season. Always likely to bite us on the arse at some point. Just fucking annoying it was today.
Still, great achievement to win the league. Onwards and upwards.

Never will understand those changes.

When Pep does fuck up he does it epically. Still individual error reared its ugly head in that performance.

It was the first goal disaster that was our undoing. Yes, was surprised at the line up but it was a nothing game till that first goal.
