Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Chak19]

Getting pellegrini vibes at the minute in that there's a clear tactical/positional problem in our game that's costing us dearly yet the manager appears to just be ignoring it as I refuse to believe he's oblivious to it.

He has to change things. He's got the international break to find a fix and hopefully we see upto double digits withdrawals from international duty so they can get fit and get the work done in training.

if we line up after the internationals in a similar shape, regardless of personnel, we can get concerned.



By all accounts Pep is the one who ultimately chooses to have such a small squad as he doesn't want to have to manage a bigger squad. So pep has fucked himself if anything.

Mate we all know the first game after the international break, Son will get in behind our defence after 5 minutes, you know how it works.

Made a mess of this injury crisis.
Risked too many first team players against Spurs
Rushed back players who are now injured again

I'm holding off on the dread for a little while at least, cant be doing with a fortnight of it. The crowd will be bang up for it, there will be zero excuses for shit performances and nowhere to hide.

Let's use this season to fast track the youngsters, get a clear picture on the ones that have a future here and ship off the rest of them. It's not over yet but we should just think of this season as an evolutionary phase, sadly its time for the old guards to pass on the torch

If we were to try to fast-track more than one or two youngsters at a time for the rest of this season, we'd end up mid table.

If Haaland gets a long term injury, we'll finish mid table

We certainly look like a mid table team at the moment.

Pep wanted a small squad and had input into comings and goings. The world and his wife could see that KDB was close to being a busted flush last season, and it was blatantly obvious that we would struggle if Rodri or Haaland were out for any length of time.

Pep signed off on the squad. He's the one getting £20m a year. There's no-one else to blame for the recent shitshow.

I hope so, finally a home game as well.

Playing that strong of a XI given our state, is/was ridiculous.

 

[Barcon]

Oh please. We aim to the best team on the planet. Today was very fucking far from positive. Come on for goodness sake.

I thought you were a Boca fan.

 

[M23 Citizen]

Come on, Pep. Sign that contract, two years extension, and put everyone’s mind at ease.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Come on, Pep. Sign that contract, two years extension, and put everyone’s mind at ease.

That's all he has to do. I hate to say it but this behaviour gives the impression that he doesn't have confidence in rebuilding the team

 

[supercity88]

I know he loves midfielders but he needs to see how poor ours is at the moment. We cannot play Gundo full stop. Rodri does the work of two. Kovacic needs legs. Nunes could play or give McAtee a game as he will get up and down the pitch all game.

You have to say the Spurs game was a big mistake in hindsight. Should have completely thrown it, played the kids and wrapped everyone else up.

Pep doesn't seem too bothered about losing these games in terms of it being early in the season and to keep players on the bench who aren't quite ready. But it's a dire situation.

He needs to confirm he is staying, everything feels doom and gloom but knowing he is staying would lift the mood considerabl.
