Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[Blue Abroad]

Tonight’s insipid display is all on Pep, I’m afraid.

 

[pbueno16]

Incredibly arrogant lineup and disrespectful to Leverkusen. Save that shit for Bodo Glimt and Galatasaray.

How you let this performance follow what happened at Newcastle is embarrassing.

 

[Blu1]

Sadly pep looks a bit lost. The game has changed & due to what he’s won he’s not hungry anymore.

2 seasons too long for me

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I cannot believe the XI he started the game with. Utter disbelief when I saw it. The lack of respect for Leverkusen from him is fucking disgraceful.

 

[hertsblue]

Love him but time has come to go. Nothing but respect & thanks but these last 18 months have not been good enough. Board have let him down which is mental but he doesn’t have the desire or hunger left.

We need a complete new approach with 5 new physically stronger players. Football has changed

Board has given him about 400 million in 2025 to spend and bar Donna, it looks like a huge waste. Football is pace, energy and power now, look how easy they walked through our slow team tonight. New direction is now needed before we slip further behind the best

 

[VOOMER]

Probably wanted to prove a point to go for another winger.

Right back, two centre half's, two central midfielders and likely another winger.

 

[Bluewonder]

Tonight was arguably worse than anything we saw last season. Almost every time we try and play Pep's way this season we come unstuck. I think it's time to go. The game is going beyond him.

Making 10 changes was stupid but saying the games has gone beyond him and he needs to go is much more stupid.

 

[B\connellblue]

The disrespect he showed to those who payed their hard earned money to go tonight is astounding . Arrogance beyond belief.

 

[Tevez City]

Probably wanted to prove a point to go for another winger.

He refused close to 100m from selling Savinho & Rico Lewis last summer

If he was desperate for another winger, he could of sold these two and spend the money on his desirable one.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Nothings changing, 18 months of shit now. It's not even football half the time, just seem to care about the passing stats. Obsession with savinhio is doing my fucking head in

 

[Gorbachev]

I'm nowhere near Pep out, but I feel confident in thinking he won't be here next season.

He will call it a day.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

All on him tonight.

That game has probably cost us a top 8 spot and we will likely have to play a knockout game.

All for what..a rest for Leeds?

Disgusting performance and disgraceful management.

Yep we'll be lucky to stay in the top half. Absolute ridiculous. He wanted to play a team like that do it for Madrid away as everyone is expecting a loss anyway

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I've said it before. That last extension was one too many.

 

[ste.sully]

Crazy starting selection for what is not a dead rubber. Paid the price. Do that in January with qualification all but wrapped up.

 

[B\connellblue]

Making 10 changes was stupid but saying the games has gone beyond him and he needs to go is much more stupid.

How many defeats in the last 12 months now? Does his team look like it would run through a brick wall for him anymore?
He should have left at the end of last season. Nothing since has changed that.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Pep won’t be our manager next season

Carful what you wish for pal
Look at arsenal they wanted wenger out.
A couple of cups and second since.

The rags since that twat left...a billion for a load of shit.
Only man who can get us close is pep.

 

[Chak19]

What a time to go full mental mate, everyone and I mean everyone knew we were in trouble when that lineup came out but somehow he thought it was fine enough for a CL game against Leverkusen like they were a League 1 side, if we don't make the top 8 he's the only one to blame for the absolute clownshow he dished out tonight, I would understand if we had a tough away league game coming up, but we got Leeds at home, it was pure sabotage.

 

[Gorbachev]

The disrespect he showed to those who payed their hard earned money to go tonight is astounding . Arrogance beyond belief.

He will no doubt moan post match and complain they didn't make enough atmosphere.

He struggles sometimes to read the room regarding the fans.

Sure but look how much he's been backed regarding transfers. There are definitely holes in the squad, but as a whole it's not nearly as bad as some of the performances we've been seeing the past couple years.

 

[Gabriel]

Not particularly surprised by the result or the performance. For all the talk of our big squad, the reality is that Guardiola has been functioning for the last 18 games in precisely the same way he did with a smaller squad. That’s left us with 10 senior professionals who are undercooked and underperforming.

It’s also patent that without Rodri or Silva we have a lack of senior leaders in the midfield/attack.
