Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

Your opinion is that you can't always win but you can always lose?

We don't always lose in the scheme of the last 10 years 7 games is nothing.

7 games is extreme for this City.

It's unusual but it isn't always losing. It'll turn around ,maybe not until January but it will.

It's not just the last 7 games though. This whole season so far we haven't played well at all. Some of the results we got early on flattered us.

when kovacic went down i thought "oh we are screwed" although i wasnt expecting this run of games to go that bad. He was doing a pretty good job in rodri's absence tbh, that leave us with stones as cover but the man is always out

Needs to stop pointing out how much he's won in the past and just start actually winning again.

The two aren't mutually exclusive

I think the long term (next season and beyond) is not a particularly difficult fix. We need four players across the next two windows. Two energetic midfielders, a creative player and a RB. Maybe 5 with a backup striker. I think Gundo, KDB and Walker will leave in the summer which will make way for the new players.

I don’t think we need any wholesale changes to our defence and I’d expect Doku and Savinho to improve their output by the end of the season.

In the short term there’s four issues that have become crystal clear over the last month or so. We don’t create much, we waste the clear cut chances that we do have, individual mistakes at the back and being vulnerable to the long ball over the top.

The individual mistakes will naturally stop and our forwards will eventually find form. It’s Pep finding a way to make us more creative and preventing the long ball over the top which has to be the priority.

All the other top PL sides have had ‘off seasons’ in recent times where they have dropped out of the CL. If we can make the top 4 it will represent a good season IMO.

Agree with that,possibly a keeper too, we will probably lose 1.
