Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Chak19]

Not he and his assistants best day in the office, IMO.

His half time subs changed the game and gave us complete control, you can question some of his first team choices, but with the number of games coming up he has to rotate and make changes, you can't expect us to destroy teams every game mate, Brentford played really well in the first half but were barely a threat in the second half, so I'd say Pep did a good job.

The changes he made at halftime highlight what you’ve just said

I thought Gvardiol was a good sub, but I couldn't believe he kept Walker on. I also was sure he'd make some more changes to the midfield, as Brentford bypassed it almost at will. I think it's fair to say Frank got the better of him today, and a team with more quality than Brentford could have had this game over by halftime.

How did frank get the better of pep when pep won ?

Has managed to get minutes in certain players’ legs, which was always going to be a challenge. The starts to seasons are becoming increasingly staccato, making it ridiculously difficult to have squads fully fit, but we have all 12 points and the only injury that has befallen us was with Ake on international duty. Hats off to Guardiola and the coaching/backroom staff.

Because we have 10x as much quality? Pep is the best of all time, but it's okay to give props to an opposition manager, Kaz. Even Pep has off days like players.

But we weren't playing a team with more quality than Brentford, so your point is moot

Of course give him props but he would have had to have won the game to get the better of pep as you stated

2 subs at half time twice In a row now. Granted at least 1 tonight may have been forced upon him but that's 2 games in a row where peps basically admitted he's set us up wrong. On the bright side, it's good that he see's it and is willing to change it quickly as opposed to sticking with it and waiting for it to cost us but I'd sooner he set us up properly for Arsenal please.

Its not as simple as he set up wrong. You can't 100% predict the opposition, how they will set up, perform etc.

Yeah for me Kdb should have sat this game out we need him fresh rested for Arsenal and we could have brought him on for the last 10/15mins!
