Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Blue and true]

Players aren’t playing for him and we don’t have a game plan, so the results are what they are.

That's sacrosanct, that. You're not allowed to say they're not playing for him, despite all perceivable evidence pointing to that very fact.

 

[Blue2202]

As long as he chooses.

Cant wait to finish 13th.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Unless he changes it up in January he's not going to last beyond the season.

Needs to rip it up and bring in more powerful players with legs or double-down and buy "pep type players" and exile some of the below par players until the end of the season.

Think he's ran out of energy, no shame in that, his obsessive perfectionism wasn't going to last as long as Ferguson's type of management (bullying and nicking his best ideas from other managers).

It’s unsurprising when we are a team that is in the middle of a slump and we go and miss a penalty - that’s the kind of thing that can change the momentum in a game even when a team is in good form. We still created chances though even in the last 30 mins. If Kev had managed to pick out a man at the end for instance we could’ve won the game

The thing is mate even if we won that it would've been a rag style papering over the cracks because Everton were utter crap, and we still couldn't bloody win, better teams will continue to rip us apart because nothing is changing.

Could n’t give a fuck where we finish ,had 8 great years, stick with him and will get 2 more to come.

 

[houraisen]

Like our senior players he appears to be burnt out.

We created plenty of chances though and played better than we had done in recent weeks. If Bernardo or Haaland score their chances in the first half we are 2-0 or even 3-0 up and in the clear. Even at 1-1 we were creating opportunities, including a penalty.

You couldn't give a fuck? Did you not give a fuck when we won the treble either? I bet you did.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

This shows the importance of Alvarez on this team, not only did he score and assist but he also constantly ran his ass out every game, so that other teammates could feed off it.

Not replacing him was possibly the biggest mistake, along with not buying a Rodri backup

 

[pudge]

Hes chatting shite about playing really well again... Pity he doesn't have the balls of a John Stones apparently

 

[Brewster's millions]

That's sacrosanct, that. You're not allowed to say they're not playing for him, despite all perceivable evidence pointing to that very fact.

Anyone doubting it should watch Everton’s break at the end.

One, maybe two of our players made an effort to get back. The others couldn’t be arsed.

Sad to see it but it’s absolutely undeniable.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Same bullshit post match interview again.

 

[Belgian Flash]

Everything has an end. Time to go for Pep. This team needs a different approach. Hes trying to do the same thing with a different group of players than he had in his heyday at City. Bring a more direct and pragmatic coach.

 

[Haaland94]

He has lost the plot if this quote is accurate.

Yeah well it's bloody Everton at home, if you can't create chances against them you might as well give it up, we were still crap defensively and a better team would've destroyed us on the counter, remember we beat Forest 3-0 and Forest are 4th and nothing really changed, we need to get a few wins in a row and I just don't see that happening anytime soon.

Right I did, still loving it. I’m just not entitled enough to expect it every year forever. You know what Im enjoying this season too , I still look forward to games, can’t wait to go to the next one. No pressure on this seasonit will be what it will be,if it’s 13 th excellent it isn’t relegation. So no I’m not stupid enough to want to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

 

[blueparrot]

What did you want him to say?

 

[Haaland94]

What did you want him to say?

Something like this: We were awful, we have been for a long time now, and I need to re-evaluate my tactics and my approach over the coming weeks, including in the transfer market.

 

[1961_vintage]

He has lost the plot if this quote is accurate.

You do realise that what he says publicly is not necessarily what he says privately with the players and coaching staff?

 

[bellsouth]

I hate to say it, but Pep needs a break. Maybe take a month off, recharge, spend with family. It’s not going to get better (or indeed worse than it is) and I worry about his health
