Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

I’d be happy to fuck off the whole squad if thats what it takes

I think only Kevin could have the argument that’s he already had the talent to be world class , the rest owe their careers to his genius

Luckily we still have some players who will be loyal to build the next team around , could be another season before we’re back challenging though

It’s going to be painful watching mere mortals win the league this season but five in a row would have been absurd

Hopefully we can push for a cup win with a few signings in January
 
He’s coached all of the flair out of Foden, Bernardo and Grealish etc, so nobody can make something out of nothing when the machine malfunctions.

The available players should be able to match any other 11 in the league - even with the injuries. Compromise and formulate a plan that involves keeping the £200m worth of available defenders tight and getting the ball forward quickly to the best #9 in world football via the reigning player of the year.

So the issues we have now and this current run is all the squads fault? And all the success we have had is all down to pep? Can't have it both ways.

I'm sorry but pep is far from blameless in this as well, yes we won four in a row, yes he's our best ever manager and yes he's earned the right to do what he likes.

0 wins in 7, 19 goals conceded, 1 point won... that's relegation form I'm afraid, and I don't think any manager should be immune from being questioned over this type of form. We're still seeing the same issues we saw at the start of this run game after game which haven't been addressed! This is going to just go on and on and on until he decides to change something.

Its pretty clear opposition have found effective ways to play and set up against us and we no longer have the players built for the current system. It's up to pep to react and adjust to get the most out of the players he has available.
 
The lineup today suggested we would take a more pragmatic approach to the game, I'm thinking it's not a bad idea, it is at least something different. So he takes our ball playing keeper and best defender on the ball out of the lineup and seemingly replaces them with a more sturdy defence and we naturally assume we'll perhaps play a bit more directly than usual, try turn the dippers and get in behind them from time to time, be a bit quicker in going back to front because we sure as shit don't have the players on the pitch to dominate the ball and play through them.

Game kicks off and we've got Dias standing on the ball, inviting pressure until he forces the high press from them and then within 3 passes we've lost the ball because we simply cannot beat a press anymore as everybody is too slow. we get away with it numerous times without once even getting out over the halfway proving it to be totally useles tactic thay brings danger and no reward and yet we just persist with it.

What did pep have in his mind? I'd love to know how he thought we were going to score today. The players aren't to blame for that, they tried to make a deeply flawed gameplan work as best they could against all the odds.

Going full Mourinho style.

Did he need this?

He doesn't need to prove himself. A losing run like this is probably a rather new sensation to him though.

The starting line up had no pace ...with Bernardo and Nunes on the wings ,we are never going to be direct,the aim was to control possession
