The Spurs game was a real brainfart from Pep, he knew we couldn't afford more injuries to our starters and except Haaland he played them anyway, and lo and behold Stones, Savinho and Dias get injured and it fucks our far more important league game.
The annoying this was, he had already told us after the previous round he wasn’t going to go strong. Fans had largely accepted that we were effectively throwing this competition. I honestly couldn’t believe how strong the starting XI was at Spurs.
 
I agree, but Nunes had to play as a winger for the last 3 matches. I think it has to be Kovacic- Nunes/Grealish - Foden/KDB for the season. Bernardo and Gundo as subs, Doku as a great sub for the last 30 minutes in both wings.
To be honest, we are that dull to watch this season that I’d rather Doku and Savinho started every game they are fit. At least it brings a bit of excitement to proceedings even if we lose a few. This pass pass pass on the edge of the box is a yawn fest.

Maybe he was playing mind games with Spurs lol.

Me too, it's because he doesn't trust the younger ones, as he doesn't like taking a hiding, even though they would have held their own v Spurs.

Makes it look worse that we were as strong as we were and still lost to them tossers
 
Pep has always had the mindset that tiredness is all in your head… “you are tired? Fuck you!” comes to mind.

So with that noted, why has he spent the last days/weeks talking about nothing but injuries, tiredness, lack of training, complaining about the number of players available etc?

If he doesn’t want the players to think about it, since tiredness is just in the players heads if they aren’t happy and thinking positively (according to Pep), then he’s gone about it in a really weird way.

If anything, he’s given the players an excuse to not be fully on it, and they played like that.
 
Sure, he has an important saying, but the players he clearly wanted, Txiki couldn't get them. Guimaraes and Paqueta are certainly two players that Guardiola would love to have and Txiki fail in bringing them.

Is that Pep's fault? The midfield is Txiki's fault. Again, if it wasn't for Gundigan, Txiki would have not brought anyone for the midfield. Delusional
Did txiki tell you he wasn't signing a midfielder if not for Gundo? Making up scenarios. Txiki ans Pep are ot different entities when it comes tk signing. You are delusional if you think that way.
Paqueta? He had betting allegations. So you want to sign him with ban looming? This is what delusion looks like
 
What did he get wrong today?

If you had said Wednesday then I'd agree, but he's picked the strongest side we had available today, but the issue was he played most of them v Spurs, and today was more important than the other night
Walker being thrown in without training for 19 days probably the biggest
