Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[super_city_si]

He's really not helping with his blind devotion to walker and gundogan. Game was done at 2-0. Youre telling me we could play Oreilly or Wright for 20 mins? No play the 34 yr old who cant run for the whole game.

 

[Richie Rich]

Starting to get embarrassing.

 

[WallyA]

Far too stubborn.

I just sort of feel bad for Lewis and Gundogan (played every game) and Bernie.

How would that have looked if Wright and O Reilly played with fresh legs instead?

We will never know.

 

[Draikin]

Even if we get better when Kovacic/Ake/Akanji are back, he sure showed the world he can't coach an average team

 

[super_city_si]

He's under pressure for me.

The players are knackered and we've got bad injuries for sure, but you can't say our record would be worse if he'd tried a different system in the last 10 games.

Why is he STILL persisting with a system that needs physicality and discipline with players who aren't up to the job? It's glaringly obvious to all but him, it seems.

Same system, same players. Its not working. It wont work. Blind devotion to players who did it for him and did it superbly but 2 years ago.
Gundo and walker are totally finished. Kev isnt far nehind.

Nothing is changing, same shite game after game. Incredibly boring to watch and are utterly shite 'defending'. Pep has to take some blame here as its happening time after time.

Far too stubborn.

We will never know.

We would have lost 4-0, their Ipswich level at best.

Well to be fair he doesn’t usually coach average sides, as he’s one of the best managers in the world.

It’s not exactly an average side either. A few players off the league winning side

 

[super_city_si]

"yeah but lets see what he can do with someone like Fulham"

....Fulham get relegated.

Pep is the problem. Buck always stops at the manager.

People are just too loyal to admit it. Which is fair.

Maybe he'll turn this around but I feel like he's too mentally exhausted to do it.

He has shown faith in his players for years and years and they have generally paid him back in spades but now they just can't.

We were unlucky with injuries but I don't think they excuse the chaos on the pitch these days. Everything is a shambles.

I don't mind us sticking with Pep and being shit. And I'd love to be wrong. But I also hope our top execs have an alternative lined up and are seriously considering immediate action.

We don't want to sleep walk like others have.
