Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

I think his own stubbornness is causing him issues. He could change the system very easily to suit who we have available but he won’t. That’s on him and nobody else.

Maybe he’s earned the right to make that call. He obviously can’t legislate for the crazy mistakes we’re making, but he can take preventative measures to reduce the opportunity for these howlers to happen.

I hope he can turn it around. He’s done wonders for the club
 
We’ve got the best manager in the world and the team/board are letting him down, badly. Half the team are either past their best, can’t keep fit or were never good enough.

I’ve not idea how much we can spend FFP-wise but given our net spend over the past 5 years, it should be at least £300mil.

You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want and I hope Pep learns this quick. The best thing he could do on Sunday is to roll out a side designed to keep it tight, because if we try to play with a high line it'll be a bloodbath.

When he comes in, Viana and the club need to take the squad size decision out of Pep's hands. I get Pep likes a small squad, and I don't think we should become Chelsea, but there are far too many games for club and country to not have alternatives ready to go.
 
You have to raise serious questions regarding the defense training sessions about the basic things.

Don't use injury or Rodri as excuses.

It is not about the quality of the players you have. EPL club and underage group will not make so many laughable mistakes repeatedly. This just shows very poor training and if it was at any other regular club the assistant coach will sweat about his job.

Does City have check and balance here or just a good relationship with Pep get you a position here?

I agree but is it stubbornness or arrogance? I think a bit of both.

Of course he's earned the right to make the call but other teams have evolved and most have now found a way to effectively set up and play against us - even Southampton and wolves were unlucky to not get a point against us.

He refuses to evolve in his own set up which is leaving us exposed defensively. I'm not having that all of the goals we have recently conceded are down to just silly individual errors... its the system that's exposing the players and is leading to rash decisions and errors like we are seeing. Teams have to do very little to score against us.

On top of this, the fact he prefers a smaller squad means there is absolutely no competition for places in the squad anymore. We have no back ups in key positions and some players who don't even specialise in any position - nunes, lewis etc. The whole squad make up is baffling.
