Well that's the thing pal, if we were a bit exciting and created chances but didn't get the results than yes I'd take having an off season after so much success, but not getting the results and consistently playing some of the worst football in the whole league ? no I'm not fine with that.

Pep Guardiola - 2024/25
- Thread starter ChicagoBlue
- Start date
You are missing the point . Of course youngsters should be starting that’s what pep did at the start of this unbelievable slump , the youngsters did ok especially at Spurs away in the Carabao but when results and performances continued to get worse he stopped playing the youngsters probably to protect them .So let me get this straight, no team should ever give any minutes to youngsters because the team is doing poorly, sorry but I don't get this logic at all.

It's like he's asking to be sacked. Everything he's doing or more accurately, not doing is displaying the classic "already checked out and waiting for my pay off" mentality. If he wasn't pep guardiola it would have happened weeks ago. It's deeply troubling.
If he cannot change things of his own accord then somebody has to tear into him behind the scenes and force him to get his shit together, whether that's someone in his backroom staff or txiki or khaldoon, somebody.
Yet again he's setting us up in a way that completely exploits our own glaring weaknesses, the opposition don't even need a gameplan at this point because we'll present the easy way through for them on a platter.

You think parking the bus will lead to better results? These players can't play any other way.It's like he's asking to be sacked.

He didn't play them at all after Spurs, McAtee and O'reilly haven't started a game since and haven't played a minute in the league.You are missing the point .

Today after the game he said the solution is to bring the players back. The reality is they aren't coming back or if they are they aren't up to speed or returning to quick and getting hurt again. The solution can't be that everything will be good once the players return from injury.
Internally he knows the team isn't good enough. The recruitment hasn't been good enough, the depth (perhaps on him for preferring a small squad) hasn't been good enough and the performances haven't been good enough. For many games (not all during this sour period) the team has been out player and out coached.
The situation is what the situation is, I guess

Our youngsters are not good enough, even if some on here seem to pretend that they are. Pointing out how they started in a game when we were 2-0 down after 25 minutes does not exactly provide a case that they should get more minutes.You are missing the point . Of course youngsters should be starting that’s what pep did at the start of this unbelievable slump , the youngsters did ok especially at Spurs away in the Carabao but when results and performances continued to get worse he stopped playing the youngsters probably to protect them .

Never convince anyone to stay
He should know that he hasn't been good enough either this season.Today after the game he said the solution is to bring the players back. The reality is they aren't coming back or if they are they aren't up to speed or returning to quick and getting hurt again. The solution can't be that everything will be good once the players return from injury.

A couple played at Brighton away and Sporting Lisbon in the CL ? Then 3-3 debacle in the CL when Pep brought the kids on with 15 minutes to go …..He didn't play them at all after Spurs, McAtee and O'reilly haven't started a game since and haven't played a minute in the league.
