Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[wolviedinho]

Watched the game again and I start to question if Pep has lost (part of) the dressing room.

Some players did not look like believing the game plan themselves.

Some player's body languages particularly in the 2nd half were very ... off... including our star players like Halaand and KDB.

KDB and (even) Bernado stopped tracking back and did not show remot interest to do it around 70min. We were still only 1 down.

Pressing was off except in part of first half.

Bernado asked Lewis to listen to instructions as early as first minutes of 1st half. Lewis looked not interested. Bernado seemed not happy.

Grealish and Doku were visually upset about Josko's passing at times when they got ignored.

Pep shouted to the bench and asked Savio on when Doku lost his ball seconds before Juve scored their 2nd goal.

Gundo looked like he wanted to kill Walker.

KDB was ...just walking on the pitch after 60min.


I mean... we fans were disappointed when we saw the lineup with certain players. Would not the dressing room feel the same?

Sure it’s easy to pick holes after watching the game back again. Pep was doing what he thought best in game.

I have seen him react the exact same way when winning games easily.

I would suggest you stop trying to be a football sleuth, creating false narrative that bear no resemblance to real life.

Injures
Small squad
Bad recruitment
Aging superstars who can’t play 90 min press

It will all settle down and the squad will be better for it next season.

Accept it or make up fake narrative.

At least Pep has admitted the squad is too small, but why has he only just realised this?

End of the day anyone doubting pep.
Who would you rather have.
Careful what you wish for.
Look at the rags.
How long is it since the pissed up bully left.
And they still haven't got it right.
Let's appreciate what the best manager any club has ever done .
And back him.
I'm sure he will get it right.
If he doesn't.
He earnt the right to say when his times up.
Not some greedy part time fans who are expecting us to be at the top.
Nothing comes easy.
Thank you pep.
Your the fucking man

Because it has worked for nine years , it is only because we have been devasted with injuries that he is musing on squad side , when they all come back it will be fine

It's only just recently become too small.

Pep has just been asked if a replacement for Rodri is the priority in January and he replied: “When I have Kova and Gundo I don’t need a replacement in that position.”

I hope he’s just being coy so we don’t appear desperate in January.

Unfortunately he probably believes it.

That can happen in the cold weather mate.

Potentially 25% more games to play this year for top players club+country. Should have adjusted squad size accordingly

Tell me aboot it mate.

Pep Guardiola on the fixture calendar: "It made me reflect that maybe you need a squad of 25 or 30 players. It would be more difficult financially for the club, but today we are going to play the Club World Cup in summer for three weeks, start again the Premier League, and maybe we have to have more depth of squad..."

Ffs!!! Well duhhhhhh!!
