Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[meeesh]

We should have beaten them, this one ain’t on Pep at all, they were standing off all that second half problem is we try to fucking walk it in as per instead of shooting

 

[Bluewonder]

His biscuit wrists kept us in it

He made one decent save then one howler to cost us the game. It's hardly like Forest were battering down the door.

 

[01cravend]

68% possession = "we played so, so good"

Footballs leaving him behind in front of our eyes. And he's doing nothing instead at 0-0 he's bringing Rico on to play inverted, moving Bernardo out to the right and subbing our "mini Rodri" for Kovacic. No injury excuses now, squads best in the league. It's him that's holding us back currently

 

[lol yank]

He was on a second booking

He was on a second booking

It’s an extremely basic risk assessment. Is keeping him on with a yellow worth it or is putting kovacic on and losing worth it? 10/10 times its the former.

 

[Ken92]

It’s fair to have trust in him given he’s the best coach of all time but if he continues with what he’s doing then serious questions need to be asked. Such as if wirtz only path to city is with xabi, is it worth it?

Its time to end that no full back nonsense he is doing atm and bring in a winger who can score. MAybe Savio or Doku will improve , maybe not. Dokus chance creation and finishing hasnt imrpoved at all from last season.

100% correct. With actual fullbacks, players playing where they should - you can absolutely believe savinho and doku will improve. Again, it’s on pep

Yeah & seconds before he was hooked he nearly got it

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Awful subs and he needs to end his loyalty with Bernardo, he does nothing to contribute to a goal so what’s the point of him playing?

 

[Blue2112]

He's testing my loyalty right now for sure. I think he knows he doesn't have the players just by his comments in interviews but jeez he doesn't help himself sometimes.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Picks the wrong team to start with and manages to make it worse with his subs.

Should we have beaten them though mate?

We created nothing all game in all reality, barely anything of note that made me think we should have scored.

It was a 0-0 game.

 

[Bluewonder]

How thick do you have to be to say football is leaving behind a game who was a hangover and a shit penalty away from consecutive trebles just 10 months ago?

Who needs rivals with supporters like some of you lot?

 

[ProofMCFC]

We’ve just spent 50M because we’re shit in midfield then decides to take him off… immediately Kovacic and rico were trailing behing their attacker like they have been all season

 

[lol yank]

Yeah & seconds before he was hooked he nearly got it

Playing with 10 is effectively the same as bringing on kovacic.

Well we pushed forward a lot more in second half than first, they even had Wood back defending that’s how deep they were so yea, but like I said have a shot and who knows

 

[samuelyeboah]

has the "rico + kovacic" sub ever worked

 

[christened at st marks]

His mates will be the end of him

 

[lol yank]

has the "rico + kovacic" sub ever worked

No. It hasn’t. Just as playing Bernardo for 90 minutes and on the wing for any amount of time has never worked this year. It’s not 2019. Everyone is aware of these things except Pep.

 

[alexmcity]

Should have started the same team as vs. Spurs.

Why do this when you can have Bernardo on the pitch for 90 minutes?
