Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[ninjamonkey]

Plays an obviously injured Stones instead of a fit Simpson, Stones proceeds to aggravate his injury, Pep comes out and says " I want my players back", he's just trolling at this point.

I believe i can top that on the stupidity meter. Going back to October he chose to start Stones, Dias and Ake with Lewis away to spurs in the carabao cup, a competition by his own admission we didn't want to be in for the sake of the squad health, didn't Dias and Ake pick up knocks in that game?

That’s not in his mentality. He’s just found himself in the shit and totally lacking in solutions for the first time in his career.

Not for a second suggesting that's the actual case. Just saying what we're getting from Pep right now is reminiscent of manager doing that. He's had 2 months to figure out a solution, we even had an international break in there, he's not once even tried something different in that time.

these comments are actually so much more concerning to me than the performance today

His comments?

Understood, mate.

I don't think you should give up on him after 8 weeks of terrible form

I'm not, I know he's better than this, that's why I'm baffled by some of his decisions, he used to be the most ruthless manager around, he dropped Aguero when he was the best striker in the world, now he can't drop obviously finished players because they brought us success, that's not the Pep I know.

That lad could’ve been playing for two months now and got loads of experience but no we keep waiting for John Glass to come back!

His confidence will be destroyed if he plays mate didn't you hear ? as if not starting over injured players won't hurt his confidence even more.

soon 1 month ago & nothing changed...and again a non-injury related sub when it`s too late

critism how he handles the academy players?.. perhaps but the majority of BM users & city fans didn`t care when we sold every academy prospect

he has to find a way to build up the confidence of the players...our players are capable to play a pass like Tielemans did before the first goal but they are too afraid

Lillo is slowly transforming into Cousillas

And Ake too, plays him consecutive 90 minutes and he's down again, not to mention playing Walker who by his own admission didn't train for 20 days, funny though he has stayed fit despite that which hasn't helped us at all, not wishing him to be injured but fuck me he's been awful.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

fuck off. just fuck off. the personnel are there. you're misusing them.

Of course, he might not actually be talking about injured players there.

 

[Vester]

Yeah like Palmer, Lavia, Rogers, Delap... all shite.

Palmer I would like to have kept. But it's hard to argue about his minutes when we are winning a treble.

The rest, clearly not good enough when they were here to get minutes in one of the best teams in the world. Doesnt mean they cant improve over time with regular minutes in a teams much worse than ours with little or no expectations of winning trophies.

Yes that infamous Spurs game, Stones and Dias were out after that, Ake played against Bournemouth and was out after that, total brainfart if there was ever one.
