Pep Guardiola - 2023/24

[TrentGrisham]

He thinks Akanji can play in the "Stones" role, he can't. He thinks Alvarez can play as an 8 over the long run, he can't. He's forgotten why Walker fell out of favor last year (as I took so much shit for saying he wasn't in our best 11). Keep Foden in the middle. Stop playing Gvardiol at LB. Get Ake back in the mix...Please, Pep stop going further and further from the best look...

This Sunday
Ederson
Ake Dias Stones Akanji
Rodri
Bernardo Foden
Grealish Haaland Doku

That's our best lineup IMO.

He will work it out. Strange thing is we’ve not won in four but could easily have won three of them, I need to chill out after tonight and trust the process.

The competition is considerably stronger this season, the pack has caught up.

No they haven't. There's no-one in the league anywhere close to our best teams. Our form falling off a cliff is the main issue.

No longer, dippers, Arsenal have caught up, Newcastle, Villa and Spurs are now top quality sides.

We have bought badly this summer and lost 2 major players, added to the injury to KDB we have dropped our standards considerably.

Again ….

 

[Keeper!]

Again ….

And it's why Pep is still here 7 years after joining and why he will still want to stay longer.

Competition is king, has the PL ever been as strong and competitive as this season?

There will be utter carnage and dropped points for all the top sides over the next 6 months, it's wide open and there for the taking.

The second sentence is true, but the problem is that we haven’t fielded our best team this season and there’s no telling when we will. The gap has certainly narrowed.

He’s going through one of his stubborn mad phases throwing paint at the canvass and thinking it’s a masterpiece.

Don't know pep knows more than anyone about football he sees what players have in training! His persistence with Alvarez in midfield is baffling foden not being trusted in that position when he has the best touch in the squad! Then he brings Bob on who has never played left wing! It's like the first 20 games of the season he tries loads of different things to he settles for the team he wants
