So when do the Shiekh's of UAE realize that Guardiola is a fraud and they've spent far too much money on him already?

robnycus · Oct 3, 2020

Pep already lost his mojo.. they have so much talent in that team but as a team they can’t seem to put it together anymore like they did two years ago.

Cavani to Utd rumoured

Commentator said City have had 10 losses in the last 36 PL games, whereas Liverpool have had 10 losses in their last 125 PL games

That Liverpool stat sounds crazy. Cant be true?!

He is playing without strikers at the moment. Having said that, he can't complain about a parked bus today. His defense has also been a constant problem. He has done a terrible job finding good FBs. I do think this team is looking past its best. Even when Aguero comes back they look done.

4 points through 3 games for Man City. Is there a place to bet whether Guardiola lasts to the end of the season?

He has spent so much money on his defense it's laughable. At some point, you've got to cut your losses. Pochettino should be getting a call soon.

Well Mou used to be called a semifinal trophy coach... How many semifinal trophies does Pep have post Barca ? And no way he wins a UCL with a club like Porto.
Has to be the most overrated coach in recent times. Also, hypocrite used to talk about home grown players...not buying talent.. a joker and a hypocrite rolled into one.

Yep. His inability to fix the defense is most definitely his fault. Pretty poor signings.

The same Porto story.

I consider it impossible to remain fresh and successful at a club for a long period of time. At some point the players heard the same message over and over again, the club sort of runs on its own, there is no friction, no energy.

I think Guardiola might need a change of pace. I do understand though that even if he'd know that, I doubt right now is the time to move.

I can't tell if Haaland is just in good form or he's really ********ing good.

The guy’s a killer.

On top of having a bunch of talent, his attitude looks spot on to me to be able to utilise all that talent.

His all around game is a question game , but his finishing looks top notch .

I'm just baffled how the likes of Lucas and Isco outlasted Ronaldo, James and Bale.

Them earning a fraction of the wages and being good for team culture probably has something to do with it.

Lucas for sure but Isco?
He’s been unfit for the last two seasons and yet Zidane insists in counting with the guy

Leeds the recently promoted team is playing so much better than ManCity right now..
Click to expand...

Sorry to snop in but you've got to bear in mind that unlike other promoted clubs, Leeds in england (not internationally) are a massive, massive club.

Probably have a fan base to match everyone but united and liverpool, plus their history is pretty good as well. This isn't some second rate team either, this is a probable champs league standard historic club returning to the league with a world class manager.

I love the fact they are back and they will give everyone terror all season long. They've always been tantamount to chaos, but they are a joy to watch then and now they are back it's no different.

He's a bench player that doesn't get major minutes. Isco is as good as you can get for that role unless you get lucky with a youngster or a veteran willing to accept that.

Tired of Dortmund smoking smaller opponents and freezing up in big encounters though.

Nevertheless they seem to have an eye for spotting talent and always punch above their weights.

We can do so much better.. Van De Beek was ready to come and something happened at the end and the deal fell through. Continuing to rely on Isco and give him key minutes, when others get injured which happens a lot in this team, is mediocrity.
