Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[Tevez City]

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.

Nothing wrong with what Pep has said. We were still in control before the penalty and then the collapse afterwards. Haaland's first half miss before the opener was bad. 2-0 would have been good.

No we weren't, we had no control in the second half.

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

Where and what is Dias doing?

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?

Even if we were cruising, we had zero reaction to their goal, in fact we got worse and it's happened multiple times over the last year and he he's had no clue how to fix it.

Not sure they are the answer, more a question of the club shopping in the middle aisle of Lidl and buying junk to replace the UNCs.

Classic Dias lol.

It's horrible man. Its like a beloved family dog that saved your child from drowning and savaged a burglar but now its shitting on the floor and needs picking up to get on the sofa. We can all see what needs to be done but can't bring ourselves to say it.

In fact I don't even know if it needs to be done, but it's just getting worse every week

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

Sorry pal but that second half performance was similar to last season's shitshow, it's his job to fix it and he's failed so far.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

It all seems a bit half-hearted. Did he want to leave after last season but because of his actions in sticking with the old guard he felt obliged to try and rebuild the team - something he has very rarely stuck around to do at other clubs

Is it peps methods/tactics only last a certain period of time - currently its pointing towards that the pinnacle has been reached, as we look like amatuers all over the pitch, to the extent that we struggle to play out ftom tbe back!

Are the club after winning it all, happy to now sit on the laurels and be content to just be there or thereabouts, whilst making money via the academy.

Dynasties always end, maybe ours has finally arrived - this season will be telling indeed. I said to my lads b4 the season started that the first 10 games will be an indication of where we are at

And its looking rough

 

[Lavinda Past]

If Pep leaves, who do we get in at this point in the season?

I really don't give a shit. Just someone who is prepared to try something different. Give it to Kolo or get Kiddo back - anyone but the turgid Catalan. He should have gone in 2023 and is starting to stink the place out.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Needs to get on the TRT.

Turned into a mouse.

How about his subs that makes it worse ?

 

[Lavinda Past]

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

Good... the door is over there Pep.

 

[Bluewonder]

Classic Dias lol.

Except it was Stones' terrible clearance that caused the problem.

Turned into a mouse.

Go Turkey in international break and come back looking like Ibiza Boss

 

[Lavinda Past]

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

No it's not. Throw some cash at Bournemouth and get Iraola in for 18 months.
We have to get away from coaches staying for more than two or three seasons. It gets very stale, very quickly.

Good job we brought on Rico for his defensive capability, stood in the middle of the park, fucking laughable.

 

[meeesh]

We seem to have turned into the club that is all fur coat and no knickers.

Big announcements about hotels, extensions competitions and new ladies teams. I hope the people at the top aren't using the rags as an example and believe you don't have to win things to make money.

Thankfully I didn't renew my Citizens membership and I can't get a ticket even if someone offered me a free one, it's a shocker from the club in every direction you can think of.

That hotel will be full of immigrants way things are going

 

[Blue Smarties]

Where and what is Dias doing?

Probably trying on his outfit of the day, the fucking tart. Centre half? Do me a favour. Sad to think we’ve gone from Vinny to that.
