Pep Guardiola

[Craig]

Some interesting comments below about the way pep wants to play.

A lot of slow midfielders who cannot go box to box. That’s what is happening.

Will he change? Going by those quotes I don’t think so.

Levels of it though mate aren’t there. KDB, Gundo and Bernie could all press well a few years ago. Pep wouldn’t have Yaya because he was unfit and couldn’t run anymore but he’d have still probably blitzed our current lot. Not much he can do about it though with Rodders done and even Kovacic out for weeks?

Aside from something really radical like Grealish and Foden as 8’s but that’s highly unlike and i’m not trying to say it would work either. Just couldn’t be any worse than what we’re currently seeing.

And, speaking ahead of their Champions League tie against Juventus on Wednesday, Guardiola provided a major update on his future and revealed he will not manage any other teams in the future.
'I’m not going to manage another team,' he said. 'I’m not talking about the long-term future but what I’m not going to do is leave Man City, go to another country, and do the same thing as now.
'I wouldn’t have the energy... The thought of starting somewhere else, all the process of training and so on... No, no, no! Maybe a national team, but that’s different.'

We need legs in the middle imo. Grealish/Nunes/Foden would potentially give us that. Worth a try no, especially when you consider how poor we've been for the last 6 weeks or so…

Nunes not good enough. Foden largely anonymous all this season. Might as well recall Kalvin Phillips... he's about as effective as those two this season.

Disagree. Nunes been ok (granted mainly wider) during this awful run (where many have been awful (Gundo/Foden/Silva). Considering how bad we have been, he deserves a run out in his natural position imo…

All about opinions mate. Personally, I think Nunes is no better than a good Championship player.

That said, I do agree that he probably deserves a decent run in his natural position, particularly as the available alternatives in the squad aren't any better.

Seeing the team i hope Grealish is Central and we dont go Gundo/Silva/kdb centrally, not enough legs in the middle for me…
