Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Jonas.shaffer]

Real madrid continue winning every year bar the very odd trophyless season

Madrid hasn't gone back-to-back in the league in two decades. Let alone attempt to go for it 5x over.

Yeah but it is time Scott Carson stopped being named on the bench isn’t it? He’s 45!

I'd be more worried if he was actually playing

Midfield has always been our strength

KDB Gundo and Bernardo are finished
Matheus is clown
Rico not good enough

if everyone is fit, Rodri-Kova-Foden should be our starting players, but we have got only Foden

If we strengthen there, everything will improve eventually

What has Foden done to deserve a pass?

He has been just as bad as the others.

Love Pep but he's making it fucking difficult at the moment. Talking down the teams chances, prior to this match, pretty much sets the tone on the pitch. It's fairly obvious it's affecting individual confidence.

It was reverse psychology. Didn't work. But that was the goal

Just clicked on this thread for the first time. You really would think I’d have learned after 20 years on this forum but no.

After all these years, all these records and trophies, after watching football being redefined before our very eyes…we still have a number of fucking bellends who seem to think the answer is to bang it route one to the centre forward.

Fuck off to Stoke you fools.

Sometimes in life.. you don't want to believe it but a loved one is "dying" and their organs start failing one after the other despite the will to fight. That's what happening to City.. we thought they'd be good enough to last the season but clearly the indications are not good.

We just need a refresh for anyone not 29. Maybe Bernardo is the only one that makes the cut over 30.

At the very least we need 2 in in our midfield and some players that can actually press. I know the actual list will be longer but our midfield is non existant at the moment and that's where we need the most help.

And the problem is not Pep.

Don't be weak. Cut everyone over 30... Do it! Do it!

I support you!!!

 

[Dax777]

Needs to start thinking about Nico OReilly starting....

the other options are not working.... If any manager can get him ready its Pep....might as well as got nothing to lose at present.

Not good enough yet

 

[Dax777]

Gundo should join Kev on the bench. Come on late to help.

To be fair Dave, our midfield is so weak and slow at the moment, banging it up to the big man is probably just what Erling would prefer!

Let's face it, that's how he scored most of his goals for Dortmund.

This won't get sorted until we get at least three new players in to replace the dead legs in midfield, and wide men who actually have an end product.

I agree about the midfield and wingers and that we need a rebuild mate but we don’t need to change our style of play. What Haaland needs is through balls and they come from skillful creative players in a team controlling the game.
