Pep Guardiola - 2024/25
- Thread starter ChicagoBlue
- Start date
Problem is not everyone thinks the sun shines out if peps arse and he can do no wrong . Pep has made a lot of mistakes this season with squad selection and his reluctance to give the younger squad members a chance to shine which is all good when we are tearing it up in league and battering teams but atm we provably the worst team in the league and these players which he picks week in week out are basically playing rubbish but he likes of mcatee Reilly etc must be absolute shit if they can’t even get a nod or even cone on. Sorry but pep takes the accolades for being great but he must also be called out as he isn’t god .Maybe, i am just getting annoyed with the mass hysteria about teenagers

Would you like us to sack him.
And replace him with who
Did I say sack him ! And did j say replace him aswell which is no but it seems alot on here are reluctant to say anything negative about him and j don’t know why as when we are great he takes a he plaudits and rightly so and when gets it wrong he gets called out . Also you can be critical of someone without wanting them sacked . J have never once says he should be sacked but I do believe he could walk away so that makes either a rag of a dipper in the minds of people on here . .Pep is actually god .

Perhaps if he didn't have to rely on dross like Doku every week we might not be in this positionEverything 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.

I was simply saying pep is a God.
I don't have the answer at the min.
But I'm think keeping pep is better than not keeping him.
Not trying for an argument sorry blue

If you keep Pep, you need to get players in fast ,who can play his style of football. This thing is dead atm and getting Rodri back alone isnt going to fix this.Calm down mate.

Of course he makes mistakes, all managers make make mistakes, to think otherwise is just daft. He obviously makes less mistakes than any other manager thats also obvious by his extraordinary results. The only people that mention him doing no wrong and never making mistakes aren’t his supporters it’s those looking to create sandmen arguments to criticise him.Problem is not everyone thinks the sun shines out if peps arse and he can do no wrong .

But then why are they a part of our 25. To falsely inflate our numbers and be caught woefully short in an injury crisis? Carson. O'Reilly, McAtee, and Wilson- Esbrand are fictional squad members. Rodri and Bobb are long term injuries. Simpson-Pusey and Wright are not even part of the false 25. So for all intents and purposes we're going with 19 guys. 2 of those are Gundo and Walker who have no business being in a City squad in 2024-25. Stones, KDB, Grealish, and Ake are consistently unavailable. That leaves a realistic squad of 13. THIRTEEN, including a mediocre Nunes, 2 not ready for prime time wingers, Doku and Savinho, and a young player in Lewis punching well above his weight. So 9 guys are left to carry the load. 2 of these are goalkeepers.I dont understand , does he rate kids that have trained with us for years and knows they are not the solution at the moment ? Of course he does . He has said from when he joined us that he wont play the kids in bad moments as it is not fair on them and they will only learn negative things
Foden, Haaland, Dias, Akanji, Bernardo, Kovacic, and Gvardiol are left to carry the whole load. Is it any wonder that all of these have struggled with a combination of injury, form, or fatigue?
So you ask me what blame does Pep share in this whole situation? He knew what the ceiling and bottom were for this squad as assembled going into the season. No one can convince me that he had little or no say. Once agreeing to move forward with this squad he had to accept that those being named as true squad players might need to be called on and that he'd be prepared for just such a situation. Who can argue with a straight face that he has done so. Every shit thing that's happening to us currently is the direct result of a preceding shit decision.
