Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[city warrior]

I do not believe wtf Im watching
Instead of beating them by 3,4,5,6 goals difference
We are walking there in relax mode

We have 14 players right now and playing every 3 days, we need to regulate when necessary. We were never in danger today. Soton didn't have a clear chance in the entire 2H.

I sometimes wonder what planet some of our fans are from. Look at our injury list, look at those still recovering from injury, clean sheet today and LOOK AT THE FUCKING TABLE!!!!!!!!!!

Needs to trust McAtee in games like this. Even just for his legs.

Well can you blame them ? Soton were perfectly happy with a 1-0 loss so why wouldn't we be in relax mode ? we still should've scored more and the fact we didn't wasn't Pep's fault.

Are you high?

Where are our best creative players? Rodri, KDB, Bobb, Doku?

How about our best control players? Grealish, Rodri

And did you not see Haaland try and almost score 6 goals? 4 of them saved off the line, 1 missed

And all of this against a team happy to sit back and park the bus.

not sure i'd put them in that bracket compared to some of the park the bus teams, far more willing to get it down and play once they won it.

Yep, some of our fanbase are really away with the faries.

I feel pep is trying to play like we do with Rodri in the team. So much pressure on Kova on his own. I would rather we had 2 holding midfielders to make it hard for opposition. Right now every team is cutting through our midfield.

Feels like we are making it so much harder

Feels like he needs one of those sparks of inspiration. System isn‘t quite right at the moment, needs a tweak.

I think he tried making it work with Gundo and Kova double pivot and you saw what happened. Gundo for whatever reason isn't dependable enough right now.. slow in defensive and not creative enough.

And on the other side.. Matteus Nunes has 6 G/A this season.. the most out of any player not named Haaland. Surely KDB and Foden will outpace him if they get healthy and play more, but he's justifying his space in the lineup right now based on his production and he seems to be tracking back and helping the defense.

As far as who can actually help Kova and play DM alongside.. it'll be a patchwork of players till January and then maybe we get the player we want since no one is going to be Rodri.

If Pep wanted a challenge.. this is it.. figure out a way to stay at the top without a ballon d'or player!

Basically we're going to have to learn to play a new way for at least 2 seasons.. since Rodri is out for at least 1 year and ACL honestly takes 2 to be the same player you were before.
