Pep Guardiola

[Morten]

8 points in 5 matches?
They will undoubtly climb, but this is poor stuff by his team.

 

[BarcaOG]

waaay underperforming. his squad is much better than these results suggest.

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

Fraudiola is back?

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I think Tottenham CL loss broke him.

I think Tottenham CL loss broke him.

What also doesn't help is that players like raheem sterling have been out of form for a good year + now, So so many chances wasted..
You just have to look at how many cl games he's cost them because of his terrible finishing and decision making under pressure.

Sterling isnt out of form, he is just overrated.

It probably did.
If you see how he approached the game vs Lyon last August.
He messed it up by considering Lyon's level on par with City and adding a 3rd CB to counter Lyon's 2 forwards (wasting the whole first half because of it).

All these unlucky/unfair UCL eliminations, with Spurts being the straw that broke the camel's back, had tweaked his mind. I don't know how he can come back from this.

So true, idk how EPL fans and EPL media manage to hype up their players so much, but those Brits are excellent salesman. The EPL hype machine is making these players look like they’re on level with prime messi and CR7

CR7 played in the PL at the start of his prime. 07/08

Not the same. If Cr7 pulled the stats he did in La Liga in the PL, they would have elected him king. What was his best season again? 50~ league goals in a single season?

He was rally good in 17/18, but its kinda obvious he's regressing to his 'normal' production now. He misses so many easy chances it's ridiculous. Why Pep loves him instead of Sane is beyond me.

He can still be out of form.... even when he's overrated.

He scored 31 goals from a wide position last season, more than Neymar, Mbappe, Salah, Mane, Gnabry etc. Why wouldn't people think he was a pretty good player?

Maybe because he always leaves you wanting more.
