Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[meeesh]

Are you seriously telling me this slow passing style football doesn't come from him ? get real mate.

Stop being daft, your talking like he’s in middle of park with a kit on, just give it a rest now

 

[Goater=Legend]

He's been too loyal to the players which is understandable but the team has suffered because of it.

The issue is some of them will still be here and will continue to play.

 

[Gorbachev]

If we havent picked up by March next year he is done. For me it is that simple.

He needs better personnel than he currently has, and also take into account we often start slow especially with new players.

Most competent managers would show him up currently because there is enough tools in this squad to not be as shite as this.

But no other manager can do what he does at his best

100% agree, and it's why we have to trust him.

I do worry if we don't get top 5 this year, he will offer up his resignation.

The club will back him, however, and rightly so.

He's had another shocker in a season full of them. No sign that he can arrest the slide. His stubbornness will insure that. Awful watch again. His assistants are all yes men or surely some of them would question his descent into madness.

Hes completely blind to failings this season. Kovacic is the worst player to bring on to play the 6. Id have preferred gundogan and thats not an endorsement of gundogan. But pep does it time and time again with the exact same fucking result.

Whenever we have kovacic. Lewis and bernardo in midfield we get over run. Every single time. But he still goes to it. Hes had as bad a season as the players.

Refuses to change tactics when it’s clear the player we have right now can’t play the system

 

[Brewster's millions]

He reached the top of Everest with us. The only way was down after that.

But then hindsight is a wonderful thing.

True, but regarding the hindsight thing, he did really know that it was time for a change because he did initially decide to leave, and not sign the contract, before his late change of mind.

Fine so when we win it's his style but when we lose it's not and it's the fault of the players.

 

[lol yank]

Have you ever considered.. he lined us correctly for a draw on the road with a team that's better than us at the moment?

His 1 mistake is his trust in Kovacic.

Kova comes on to shut down shop but we become wide open defensively.. Who could have foreseen that?

I understood Nico's substitution but seriously you could & should trust Nico O'Reilly ahead of him at this point!

Watch that goal out of nothing again.. where's our DM & midfield press?!?!?!?

Titles are won by good defense and away 1-0 or 0-0 draws. We were surviving just fine till that Kova change!

What a ridiculous comment. To roll over and say/accept that forest are better than this city side is exactly the problem. Absolutely mental

 

[Richie Rich]

this one ain’t on Pep at all

Think i have seen posts like this after every single loss this season.

He made the Kova change.

Even before the fuck up, we'd looked toothless again. Next season he needs a complete transformation in philosophy.

Failure to secure champions league will be a huge set back. It's no gimme the way we're playing.

Pray Fernandinho joins us because pep needs a fresh voice and a bit of new fire.

 

[lol yank]

Yeah and every single one of them have been wrong

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Everytime we go more direct and win he immediately changes it and goes back to the slow rubbish and we lose, every single bloody time, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Spuds, we won those games by being more direct but he just never sticks with it and has to get Bernie back in who is the king of the slow rubbish and we obviously look crap and lose.

All 3 of those teams employ a high defensive line. Forrest were camping in their own box most of the game

Same as the rags winner and the Real opener and countless others this seaosn. All the time in the world to play a ball over our high line. Shocking set up.

Agree with your last sentence. Whether he finds his best again is the big question.

Just got to put it down to being a weird season mate, it’s as simple as that, we can disect it all day, poor signings not helping the cause for one, apart from Khusanov, now he didn’t deserve to be on a losing side today to be fair -as for this Nico? Mmmmmm doesn’t look worth 5m never mind 50m, but that’s one for another day

First time I’ve said it this season to be honest

They are better than us.

The first step to fixing a problem is REALIZING you have a problem.

We have no midfield press.
We have no midfield creativity.
We have no one playing passes to our striker.
And we're depending on 35 year old Gundo, 34 year old KDB for shades of creativity.

Playing against a bunch of 23-25 year olds who are faster, stronger than we are..

Unlike you I'm honest about the club I love. We are crumbling and need 4 new midfielders. We need to move on from Kova, KDB, Gundo & Bernardo.

 

[meeesh]

Absolutely ridiculous this

What is?
