Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Chak19]

Pep is clearly playing with fire now. We lost Ruben because he was called too early to the squad.
How bad are our academy players.

Yeah that's what Vester and Kaz just don't get, it's not just about giving youth a chance, it's about protecting the senior players and giving them enough time to recover from injuries so they can be available in the long term, what Pep is doing is fucking us in the short term and the long term, he will never have his players back if he keeps rushing them back from injuries.

 

[Chak19]

Different competition though and different circumstances in any case.

The point is that Pep regularly sees these players in training and as such he has a better idea of how good our players are than we do. If he thought any of the kids were good enough to play then they’d be in the team, Lewis being a prime example

Yeah and I've already said before that seeing them in training doesn't tell the whole story, you have to give them consistent minutes to see if they are good enough, he didn't see anything in Palmer, Lavia, Rogers in training either.

Yeah but you said Doku was a lazy fucker in a post on Monday, but today Pep should have brought him on, fans like you need to make there minds up.

He is a lazy fucker but you put him on against a player on yellow, we were already behind had fuck all too lose, you don’t play him from the start because he doesn’t track back but if you are chasing the game you’ve fuck all to lose.

That’s not true though, is it? Palmer was given plenty of opportunities but his style of play didn’t allow him to flourish for us. The other two weren’t good enough to play for us. Them doing well years later at teams that aren’t as good as ours in a different system doesn’t prove that otherwise

Fucking hell, that's as damning as it gets. It's almost as if he's asking to be let go

Palmer didn't look great up until a couple of weeks before he left when he scored against Arsenal and Sevilla, it was clear he was starting to show his quality and then he left.

Did he talk about the charges in his post match interview? If he did then... why?

John is injured again , we dropped off pressing to acomodate walker, pep says

what ? He says he has too many injuries to make creative changes

Oh yeah that highly effective press as evidenced by the first Villa goal, and how exactly did we drop off pressing in the second half when Walker was in the opponent's half getting done by Rogers for the second goal ?

I read that as he hasn’t got the tools to fix the problem, Walker wouldn’t have gone in today if Johnnie Glass didn’t go off AGAIN!
