Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[DMA's]

Won’t happen but he should be replaced at end of season and give new manager the club World Cup to prepare etc.

Can see next season being more of the same

 

[Brewster's millions]

You think so?

After that performance, it doesn't look like he has one more match in him.

It’s strange how people refuse to see what they’ve been watching for the past six months, like it hasn’t happened.

Countless dire performances, bizarre team selections and a terrible individual performances which don’t change his thinking.A disorganised and demotivated team. No real sign of any improvement, yet they all seem to expect a sudden turnaround next season.

It defies any sort of logic.

Pep hasn't adapted though.

He has carried on playing open, suicidal high line football, and with a midfield that has an average of around 100

Any other manager worth his salt would and should have recognised that to get results with the current set of players with their injuries needed to adapt and maybe play a style of football that goes against the initial philosophy.

The players have declined and yes we have had injuries, but Pep has had an utter shocker this season tactically.

His management of the players in regards to sentimentality and overall squad/ team selection has been that of a league 1 manager.

I do back Pep by the way, I think he his the man to carry us forward. However, it doesn't take away from an utterly shambolic season of management from his this season.

Possibly but his record with City says that he deserves to build another side.

 

[Chak19]

I'll say it again.

We need FIVE new MIDFIELDERS in.

Gotta replace KDB, Gundo, Bernardo, Kovacic and Stones/ Akanji in midfield.

Yeah and ? he's just signed another midfielder for 60 million and he's not using him, sorry pal but he and Txiki have been atrocious in the transfer market for the last 2 years, almost rag level bad, so I'm not sure we can trust him for splashing more money.

Exactly. We can excuse the injuries if he adapts the setup to accomodate who he has available. If he changes and it fails, that's more acceptable than what we're watching game after game.

 

[eastmanc]

No, Arsenal have had crucial injuries and have zero strikers and they're 10 points ahead of us, and despite our injuries we still have a better squad than Forest who are 5 points ahead, struggle to challenge the dippers for the league ? yes it's totally understandable, struggle to finish top 5 ? no that's not good enough from him.

Let's get rid then. Arsenal haven't lost most of thier defenders, a Balon Dor winner and now the best goalscorer in the world have they. Hardly comparable.

He also just used a midfield setup that had good control on Wednesday yet today he goes back to the midfield that's been ran through all season!

 

[Lowtower]

Line up was frustrating today Peppy, especially when we didn't use Sav

Pep's poor management of Dias, Ake and Stones are why they've had so many injuries. What did he really expect to happen by rushing back injury prone players into starting lineups the moment they're fit enough to train?

What other options did he have?

I genuinely think he's autistic, my wife said it a few weeks after he came here and she's a therapist specialising in Autism. It was a throwaway comment by her to me alone with absolutley no evidence to substantiate it but we've discussed it over the years he's been here and I don't belive he's the only member of the squad that is. If i was a betting man id wager she was right.

He's definitely got mental eccentricities.

I tell you what I glad some of you on here aren't running the club.

Saka is absolutely massive to them and they've missed him dearly, Havertz isn't brilliant but without him and Jesus they have a DM as striker, they were without key defenders for various parts of the season, Odegaard was injured early on and hasn't been the same since returning, stop with the rubbish excuses pal, Pep has been absolutely awful this season.

 

[pbueno16]

What other options did he have?

Play O'Reilly at left back in the league earlier than this month! Gvardiol would've been fine to play CB with Akanji while Dias, Stones and Ake were injured.

We played Soton in October.
Won 1-0.

People here said they deserved to be higher in the table
Soton today are relegated, talent id and situational assessment is NiL for few here

Absolutely blinded many of them and one win blinds them totally can’t see faults anywhere,they simply put down views of other city fans and don’t take any of the views of other clubs fans

 

[christened at st marks]

Boring shite and apart from a few times so was all the season.

 

[01cravend]

What other options did he have?

Gvardiol to CB and O'Reiily to LB has been an option all season..

Dunning-Kruger effect in full view on this thread. That and some total wankers.

 

[Bluewars II]

I'm glad happy clappers and Peps Harem merchants are not running the club.

Pep: “The decision had been made by the club. The club is the club. Me, Txiki [Begiristain], and the club. This is what it is..."

What an utter joke, he treats kyle 'adulterer walker to a five star sushi meal begging him to stay and handing him the captaincy and decides that KDB should leave.
