Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[meeesh]

Well, that wasn't my point. Nunes wouldn't be my choice.

Well it’s nothing to do with what people want, Pep picks his teams, and is getting it wrong a lot for some reason

Again, just to explain, it doesn't matter what players he picks if the tactics are fucked.

Bayern are a bigger club than us. Why would he admit that?

Ok, do you think Vinny is ready to jump into the City managerial hot seat ?

Couldn’t agree more , was just confused in your words that he’d picked the team that people want

That's alright bud. I'm pissed off for the second weekend running. Time to put myself on the timeout step

 

[Gorbachev]

A rockstar knows when to leave the stage.

Their league is far weaker.

Nah, it’s funny reading some things on here, if it raises a smile on a shit day I’m happy enough :)

Okay, sack Mac…oh I mean sack Pep, I go back to days of Bert I certainly know what entitled means.

To be honest, I may go back even further than you Shirley.

Based on our performances over the last 12 months, I'd say that Pep is very lucky to still be in the job. I'd go as far as to say that he probably wishes he hadn't extended his contract.

He's yesterday's man. Too many coaches have started to suss him out over the last two seasons. Time for a change.

Brighton hadn't had a shot since the 18th minute and barely got into our final third. How is that not cruising if you are winning the game?

We were slightly in control of a poor game.

Games can change in an instant as happened today.

They changed, we carried on as before and probably got worse actually.

We concede and the game is up, that is a huge concern.

Coz it was 1-0. You're never cruising at 1-0

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Is Vinnie the man to make us great again

Not at the moment - 2 fold:
1) still learning the role
2) probably more importantly, he's not leaving that role to come here with our current squad

He'd be mad to take over after Guardiola. There's every chance we'll end up going down the same riad as the rags post-Ferguson.

 

[ysmsa]

That save was literally 30 seconds before they scored too! Why can’t we concentrate ? Criminal to concede after almost doing so ! Just tighten up. The players are absolute idiots at times.

Winds me up.

Commit fouls in your own half, invitation for set pieces, and then we concede.

I wish players would just concentrate on playing football instead of getting the game stopped every 5 seconds.

They were fucking c****s today though with the fake injuries and what not. That bloke who lay down in their area should have been booked for that.

 

[ysmsa]

I miss the UNCS

The team is more fluid & creative with Kevin & Gundo than Tijjani & Bernardo who is asked to play as CB, DM, RW and be all over the pitch.

My favourite player but wtf was up with Bernardo today, he was completely anonymous.

 

[Saddleworth2]

In his pre match press conference he was explicit in how he wants us to play. Pass, pass, pass 1000 times. You could see it at times when Rodri was controlling midfield however, the new lads Nunes, Alt Nouri, Marmoush, Reijnders give the ball away far far too often which resulted in quick transitions which is our kryptonite. We will continue to lose like this until they give far far less ball away. I’m not convinced that will happen overnight.

Has been for a long time ,he doesn´t score goals ,he doesn´t create chances. He used to be one of the best players in City , don´t know what has happened to him. Though our whole team is playing below bar.

I’m prepared to give Pep time to sort it although I understand many including yourself are now calling for a change, he has credit in the bank imo.
First stood on the scoreboard end as a kid around 1959, I am just a FOC.

Picked the team that everyone wanted again. Let down by Bobb not finishing the game, a Nunes handball and the team running out of gas at 1-1

No one on this planet, Pep aside, wanted that back 4, what are you on.

Nunes better appear on the deadline day lists tmrw, "released" will do.

Also Silva ahead of Nico? No chance.
