Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[AlexGrimaldo]

This season is a combination of pep getting everything wrong , the worst injury crisis in a decade and a board that wanted to keep a squad beyond its warranty to win the net spend trophy. It’s bad luck compounding bad decisions

Always complaining about the excess of games and the squad keeps getting smaller. Logic? None

Strange interview he didn’t seem arsed v spurs or in this interview. He should be saying this is not good enough

Just why can't Pep be a bit more pragmatic knowing we're not blowing teams away anymore and we can't press effectively either ? we were still 1-0 up away from home, why can't we drop a bit deeper and not leave acres of space for their striker to run into ? we have an injury crisis, ditch this fucking high line that isn't working and be a bit more cautious.

It's not the end of the world, I believe we can turn this around and this is fucking Pep we're talking about, but surely he has to change the current setup, he can't play the same way again against Brighton this Saturday,

Ake went off injured against Bournemouth. He is not fit. Pep should have put me in the bench rather than take Ake, Walker etc

JWE could have played at left back with Gvardiol in the middle. I know there's a lot of question marks around JWE but i believe he would have done a better job at left back than Simpson-Pusey did in the middle.

I love him, but for me the biggest issue is he's putting players in positions they're not comfortable in. Kovacic and Lewis should not be defending transitions in the middle of the pitch, I also think this 3-1-6 system is far too cavalier. We lack the legs to press effectively.

I think by conceding some control, and defensively shoring up we'd be much better. I thought the high line today/at Bournemouth was absolute madness.

Had to read that twice though you put JFE was gonna say it’s not that bad yet

 

[Cobra]

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to start Simpson-Pusey against Spurs rather than throwing him in at the deep end tonight? Instead we went far too strong, ended up with both Stones and Dias injured and then lost anyway.

Ake went off injured against Bournemouth. He is not fit. Pep should have put me in the bench rather than take Ake, Walker etc

Well that's another one on the manager and Txiki, we all know you can't rely on Stones and Ake staying fit for a significant amount of time yet nothing was done about it.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Pep has a big decision to make. In recent years we have looked good enough that him extending for 12 months has been fine. This side looks like it needs a pretty substantial rebuild and he has to decide if he wants to be the one to do it. I want him to stay forever but I don’t think he can just stay because he fancies another year. He has to buy into the bigger picture or look at leaving and allowing someone else to do it.

Yes a fair point of view
