Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[citytill1die84]

the State of this stat:

Since the start of November, Manchester City have conceded more goals (20) across all competitions than any other team from Europe's big five leagues.

That is damning. The players we put out are still better than 75% of those teams. Playing the same way with inferior players is foolish. Pep, you’re a genius but this is just lunacy. Why isnt he changing it?

He's a stubborn tw@

What goes through his head starting the likes of Walker and Gundogan again, telling the players who can't fucking move to try and press?

He is no opposed to changing his approach at times, he did it against Arsenal when KBD and Haaland destroyed them on the counter after we essentially parked the bus.

Why not give up on the press that causes more problems than it helps and have the forwards drop off 10/15 yards and let the opposition break us down now and then. It's what every single opposition team does and it works for them.

I think this might be a better idea than the pathetic press.

 

[Dax777]

He is doing the best he can under the circumstances.

Given time we will be back.

A lot of upheaval ahead and I am glad he is here to do it.

Seriously tho, get angry and be upset but doubting this manager is silly.

The player bought have been shit and the old players who we have relied on are old and can’t or don’t want to do it anymore.

This is not a coaching problem.

It kinda is though. We are playing the same way with inferior players Whether inferior due to scouting or aging, don't matter.

He can't have the worst defense in the to 5 leagues over the last month and think 'Oh, it's a player issue.' This will only be true if we have some of the worst players in the top 5 leagues. We don't.

I think Pep's body language showed this is the night the dam broke for a couple of players.

He's tried everything and 1 win in 10 is not just a system in need of a tweak or a band aid. The players he has can't play his system.

So he has to invent a new system or get new players.

The club have fooked him this season with such piss poor transfers.

He's supposed to be the Greatest manager of all time, he's ha sa title winning team and the best academy in the world

He should be doing better, you can't blame the recruitment when he's on a 10 game slide of a relegation team

Sir Alex did a lot better with less

The fall off has been next level

Bang on. Injuries and fatigue is becoming a tiresome excuse from a few people. The players we're putting out on the pitch should be doing better, a lot better in fact. Needs to halt this collapse dead in it's tracks now.

Boring

Take your head out of the sand, he’s picked the same team and same system for 6 weeks and nothing has changed… infact its only got worse. It’s up to him to find the best way of playing with the players he has available to get results. That’s his job, of course it’s also a pep problem.

Why wouldn’t it occur to him to try and make us more defensively sound if we’ve conceded the most goals of any team in Europes top 5 leagues since the start of November?!
