Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[sh249]

Feels like he’s going through the motions. We’ve brought in a load of players who can carry the ball and ‘play in the transitions’ but who lack technical ability and game intelligence. It’s not a style of play he genuinely believes in and it shows. All a bit half-assed, and has left us in a mess.

How can a system allow this look at that defence and the space for Brighton

And it's worth noting that they don't have 10 men behind the ball as is the most trotted out common myth.

 

[Blue2202]

On the contrary I think he will walk - I don’t think that he will be motivated by money or his contract situation

But at what point though? I just dont see how he walks after all the waffle he came out with after signing the new deal about wanting to stay and fight. I will say we look even worse than last year though, theres no excuses for that today and spurs last week.

Stones fucking up a basic clearance isn't a systemic issue.

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Rags are actually ahead of us now, can't fucking believe it.

And they will be for a while they’ll beat in then Arsenal will destroy us again

 

[K-Bo]

Should have gone after 2024 title win I think. Genuinely don’t think he can be arsed with this rebuild

That's the spirit

If Pep went the manager market is shit. We'd probably go with a interim manager

It would have to be an up and comer from a mid table team. Someone like Fabregas.

If we get beat by the RTs he must fall on his sword.

1 point or 0 points in next 2 games and hes gone imo

Who comes in now with this mess

 

[RayCTID]

Looks more like an end of era with Pep. Don't think we will win the league again this time around. Deserves to see it out though and it is his choice if he wants to leave before this season finishes.

 

[VOOMER]

Much more of that shite and he's got to go, the whole team was flat again today and it's becoming terminal, too many good players in our squad to be getting turned over by shit teams on a consistent basis and that lands squarely at the managers feet.
Yes I get and appreciate he was great for us, but he hasn't been great for along time in football now,

Look to our star man missing sitters and father time taking affect.

14th Sep Rags home
18th Sep Napoli home
21st Sep Arsenal away

this is what coming up. 3 games in 8 days.
hard to see how its not gonna be two more losses at least. maybe a win or draw vs shit rags. Conte and Napoli easily more quality side than Spur and Brighton. happy to counter us with speed, but block our slow build up with ease.
Arsenal too. while Amorim somehow has the vodoo on Pep.

we should have gone into this period with 7/9 points from first three games not fucking 3 points. it very well could be 4 points after 5 rounds. about level with Sunderland, Leeds etc.

time to wake up. its like a bad dream.

He has a point tho

That kind of return should never be acceptable no matter who the opposition.

A lot of fans and even people at the club like khaldoon dressed this all up as just a failure to act the previous summer and injuries, it’s now clear this is much deeper and serious questions have to be asked.

This is currently worse than I remember it being under bad times with Mancini or even Pellegrini. I don’t remember the same slow laboured one paced shit game in game out, whilst conceding the same types of goals over and over again with absolutely fuck all changing. It’s absolute insanity.

 

[Goater101]

The next 3 games will show us where Pep is at. Too many managers recently have been getting the better of him.

At least we might get the chance to bully Huddersfield in the cup after those games.

fuck off

Pep thinks we were excellent for an hour, therein lies the problem and nothing will change. We were winning but there was a lack of quality or desire to score more goals. Oh for the days when we blew teams away in the first 20 mins and scored 2/3/4 goals and could then ease off.
