Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[lol yank]

Badly coached team, his teams always had more possession. Bailed out by Foden in both games . His loyalty to Bernardo and Savio will cost him

Hopefully it cost him his job.

 

[Goldust]

Has he gone soft ? Never would he have carried some of the work shy players in the past ie Doku, Savinhio.

 

[roy.or.r]

Unfortunately the game has moved on from him i think.

I get Nico needed a rest, but straight swapping him for Stones didn't make sense. Stones could've come on for Reijnders to move Gvardiol to left back and push O'Reilly into the midfield. The Cherki sub wound up working well though as he helped us slow our possession down and hold onto the ball a little longer.

 

[Gabriel]

Youngsters are winning on adrenaline, but that cannot last, and at this rate losses are almost definitely coming.

We need to lose a couple of players in January and sign an established defensive midfielder.

 

[Tyg3r]

The main problem is this team don't have the ball. If you have the ball when 1-5, you kill the game through possession.

Doku ? behave kid.

 

[Goldust]

Kolo, Lijnders, Pep

does any of them have defensive instructions? what could those be? SORT IT OUT.

big problem we look fucked fitness wise. especially in last 30 mins of games.

Feel for the defence but they can’t constantly defend 2v1, we can’t defend from the front all they are assed about is scoring. Can see why he wants Sameyno for goals and effort in the final 3rd.

Nico recently had 2 weeks off during international break. Sick of hearing about players who need a break

 

[Goldust]

Doku ? behave kid.

Haha you’re telling me he works hard. One of the laziest players I’ve seen at City in over 25 years.

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Like ‘One flew over the cuckoos nest’ this thread.
Can someone get Nurse Ratched to sedate those that are losing their minds.
In the real world.
Not playing well for 90 minutes yet but sitting pretty in second place.
Some might even say we’ve been here before with Pep.
And breathe……

 

[Phil1]

But he’s won a lot so who is anyone to question what he does now

Not you, fucking halfwit.

 

[Chak19]

Nico obviously couldn’t continue. There’s no other midfield option on the bench unless you want Rico Lewis playing DM?

Oh and if Pep is so concerned about players getting gassed, why didn't he take off Haaland and left Marmoush on the bench for 90 minutes ? face it, he's just making more and more bizarre decisions.

He's played in 90 minutes of every game in the past month besides today. Yes, he had a two week break but that went out the window playing three straight 90 minute games in a week.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Time to go sorry but it is

We’re second
2 off the top

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

When he made any of the subs did any of you think they’re going to score the next 3 goals?

Because Haaland didn’t have a knock? There’s nothing bizarre about that decision at all.

 

[Blu1]

Means nothing.

We are going backwards. The board have let pep down with shite signings. He’s exhausted & going anyway. The club are just waiting for pep & it’s causing issues on & off pitch
