Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Richie Rich]

Problem is what else is available at the moment.

Savinho and Kovacic.

This is largely the same squad that won the league last season. So it's just nonsensical to say that the squad is useless.

Yes and no. It might be largely the same squad but our best players aren’t consistently on the pitch. Dias, Stones, Akanji, Rodri, KDB, Foden. If those guys are on the pitch most weeks, we can get away with the likes of Kovacic, Gundo, Nunes et al playing the odd game. However, when these guys become the regulars in the starting XI, thats the level you become and these guys are mid-table level…and that’s where we are heading.

Kids from the youth team.
Can't be any worse

we created fuck all xG vs this shit rag team. Forest went to Old Toilet and scored 3 goals and missed some chances as well a week ago.

going forward we have problems, and defensively even more problems. while zero match control through the middle, setting the tempo etc.

if anything things getting worse not better since Spurs 4-0 loss started this brutal run.

imagine how much the team worked on these thing in training with absolute no result or change on the pitch.

in 6 CL games our only two wins are Bratislava and S. Prague, Slovakian and Czech cannon fodder level teams. I dont see us beating PSG and Brugge is a good level above champion of Slovakia.

I think Emery is licking his lips for next weeks game at Villa park. and Pep might play into his hand if he fields same player who are in dog shit form week in week out.

Well Kova is back, he could also use Savinho on the right, surely that means he's not going to play both again ?

One foot out the door by the sounds of it

Don't be ridiculous.

Maybe stop playing 50 year olds in the middle of the park, might be a solution, who knows

And our set pieces mate, jesus christ, got a fluke deflection to help us with the goal but was still shocking, at least Arteta has worked on that for Arsenal to cover up the fact they have no creativity, we don't work on that at all.

Yes they can, although I would have given Jacob Wright a go.
