Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[King Jay]

He is so stubborn with his high line. And this RB into CM bullshit. It’s not working and he will keep doing it. Ffs

 

[Blu1]

Love him but his tactics are killing us!

3 up & still a high line is crazy at 3-2 yet still doing it is mental

 

[Feed the Elk]

He had his tactics right, but the players are unable to execute them.

He was right to try and play the game in their half to see it out, playing backwards was inviting pressure and with all the mistakes we’ve been making in defence it became a recipe for disaster.

The whole back four were dreadful tonight and that is not the fault of the manager (well it is is suppose, he should not have picked them)

When you’ve Dias on bench and them subs are made it’s fucking criminal

The tactics for the majority of the game was fine, like I said before it wasn't his fault that it was 3-2, it was only on Gvardiol, but he needed to change it after that and tell them to drop deep and close the game out, but he's just too stubborn.

Who decided to use Gvardiol? He should have been on the bench (or even left out of the squad) after the disaster show against Tottenham.

Correct. The tactics were good. The players were totally crap, he must have many regrets over who he brought on.

I don’t think we’ll see the likes of McAtee or Simpson Pusey for a while

Well you're probably right about that, if Dias can play sunday he should play Ake at LB, maybe some time on the bench will help Gvardiol because goodness me he's been dreadful for a month now.

The tactics were absolutely fine from the start. The subs were utter wank though - took off arguably our best three players on the night, two of whom (Gundogan and Ake) offer at least a little bit of leadership. It was a major error and we paid the price.

 

[CΛL]

Tactics were fine but what the fuck was he thinking with those sub. Without those subs we’d have won comfortably and when we needed that boost the most.

We’re into the Liverpool game with the worst possible mindset. Why risk it?

 

[city warrior]

The tactics were good. About the changes, if the players cannot keep up a 3-goal difference against Feyenoord for 15 min... I am sorry, but when you see the brain-dead individual mistakes that produced their goals, I don't know how anyone can blame the changes.

I am sorry, but when a team lets 3 goals against an inferior team in 15 min, the fault is always of the players. The good news is that Gundo- Nunes has been the best duo in our midfield, and for the first time we look to be more in control (still it is against Feyenoord).

It was Gvardiol who fucked this game though, not the two youngsters who've barely kicked a ball all season.

 

[WallyA]

Its not his fault.

Completelt dominated, up 3-0, when else do you want him to make subs?

A couple players just totally lacked concentration and threw the game away.

 

[decmancity]

Hes letting the exact same goal happen over and over. Mind boggles.

Can't wait for this suicidal high line on Sunday.

Became complacent

 

[WestGorton]

Making three changes with nearly half an hour to go was wrong.

You look at this game in isolation?

 

[Chak19]

Nonsense, we were still very comfortable with the subs until brainfarts from Gvardiol got them back into the game, he should've managed the game better after that, but the subs weren't the problem tonight.

 

[01cravend]

We were shite in first half, that was awful to watch. Got lucky pen. Started 2nd half well. Imploded. Killed by long balls again, 2 vs 4 for their equaliser, that high line as we are falling apart is on him. He's shitting the bed recently

 

[Trojan1962]

The home game v Forest is crucial. Lose that and he may walk
