Pep Guardiola

Politics thread chased away Lorten

WOW!!!

1 W, 2 Ds, 9 Ls in 12 games

Must be the WORST patch EVER in Pep's career.

That said, it will stop now. The schedule gets easier for them, they will start winning and get their confidence back.
But the titles has most likely sailed

Pep seems to relish the challenge

If you said it and we are talking about managers, I'm 1000% sure I'm right, lol

It's not managers in a vacuum.
Pep might be > Klopp as a manager in general

But in the specific situation, where one has to take Liverpool as they were (Squad-wise, finances-wise, and competition-wise) in 2015,
Pep never does better than Klopp

 

[Messigician]

Let’s be real

We looked at that Barca team and all of us thought fuark I reckon I could take that to a treble or two

It'll stop in two more weeks. Their defense was always average, even at the beginning of the season they were often behind some relegation teams, but managed to score more.

He definitely is, if pep is a Liverpool, then obviously someone else is at city.

Pep is the league king, he's winning more than 1 in freaking 6-8 years.

Because someone not named pep would be at city.

Stop it

Look at the season he’s having
City don’t even have a bad squad

Also it wouldn't surprise me if Pep was massively doping with Peds considering his history and the weird decline of the players, not just this season, they've all fallen off.

KDB exposed long ago for his Belgium performances compared to the DopePL

City have never been a team with pace under Pep. Now that they also fail to control mf is what is costing them. Yes, Rodri and secondly de Bruyne missing is the cause as to what we are witnessing. Then Gundo putting in stinker after stinker makes matters worse.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

I am the boss.

I am the manager.

And im not good enough.

@Messigician Humble Baldie? 🫣

 

[Ter Stature]

I'm more curious how many players city will be able to sign in the winter? Is there a limit? Realistically they need two FB, two CB, three midfielders, one forward, a goalkeeper. And all of them on top level. That would be 300 million minimum.

Pep’s got a cool jacket. Anyone knows where to find it?

Well they had Sterling and Sane back in the day, who were absolutely rapid.


They still have Haaland for threat in behind but they play against low blocks mostly so is it really about pace?


The energy seems very low in that squad.

At some point, he should have done a better job in at least trying to incorporate more academy kids over the years there.

City has lost a decent amount of good youth players in the last few years that are now regulars for PL teams and in other leagues in Europe that would be far more useful now than some of the money that was spent.
