Do you think the players still trust Pep?

[PeterParker]

Discuss.

[PeterParker]

I will say 50/50.

Worried we will underperform this season. Gundo coming out and talking about the final is something you don't hear very often.

[nottsblue]

Why would they not?

And if we are winning loads more games than we lose, in the grand scheme of things, is it really a problem.

Individual players may have concerns but I sincerely doubt he has lost the dressing room so to speak. They are paid and paid handsomely well to win games for MCFC by means set out by the management team. If they don’t like those terms or the managers methods then I’d suggest they speak directly to Pep and his team for clarification and if they still don’t like it, then thank you for your service and close the door on the way

The manager, whomever he is, should have total say and control and players either buy into it or they don’t and if they don’t then they are at the wrong club

It’s common knowledge pep doesn’t speak to some players apart from a hello or goodbye .

He’s respected by most players but IMO disliked by many .

I have the same mindset .

Let’s see where we are in 2 months time .

I think we will lose Bernardo Jesus and Sterling .

Kane will come in 100% but that will only address one problem . We have had a fuckign left back problem for years now and still no sign of baldie fixing that .

[Mase]

The worrying thing is some of the players openly coming out and questioning Pep’s choices for the CL final.

Do they trust him in general? Yes, absolutely.
Do they trust him not to overthink the big occasions? Same as most of us, no.

Most of us questioned his madness for that CL final - you would have to be brain dead to believe he had the right team out that day .

If I was a player and had to play with those tactics and starting 11 I’d be fucking livid .

Players cannot play their own game in today’s football , they do ONLY what they are told to do —- but like SouthGate telling walker to not press the game before the last one —-

That’s why Gundo came out and virtually said he was pissed at baldies management that day .

Crazy

I am worried we might be at a crossroad, that is why am asking. I think, ot better said, I have the impression players blame him for the final, and if that is the case, there are slim chances they will perform in the next season.
Also, many of them won everything possible with us (locally). He will, nevertheless, ask them to do so again. Will they have the hunger to do it again, one last time?
I am worried the answer will be no.

Pound to a penny some players think they will never win a CL with baldie at the helm and want to go play for a manger that doesn’t have CL brain farts .

As you said , they have won everything there is to win domestically but every player in the world wants a CL medal .

Not going to happen at City with baldie managing us.

We are at a crossroads of sorts every summer. Some players leave, others will come in. And the age old dilemma of will the new ones adapt to the PL and club itself and become better players than those they replaced.
Will the squad have the hunger? Will Pep have the hunger? We shall see. But winning games is a habit and winning trophies is the drug and I see no signs that will change.
Sure there will be huge disappointment at not winning the CL. I hope there is as there is no room for complacency. But that should only spur the boys on to do better next time around.

Can anyone truly imagine the likes of big Ed, or Dias, or Walker, or KDB or Foden or Fern or indeed virtually everyone in our squad accepting anything less from each other than total commitment, hunger and desire? I honestly can't

We will be fine next season

[stupot]

You can just see Stones and Walker swapping stories with Maguire about how shit their 8 winners medals have been in the last 4 years and yearning for those Semi Finals and top 4 finishes under Ole.

Likewise the guy who has just won the PFA Player of the year 2 years running and just signed an extension despite some experts on here wanting him sold after 1 bad game swapping stories with Hazard and Courtois about how they've done at Real Madrid the last couple of years.

Same with Dias, Cancelo and Bernardo having a cosy chat with Bruno about who trusts their manager more.

I think we'll be fine.

[Harry Dowd scored]

I think if Pep came out with an outlandish revolutionary idea like playing your best team, with the player’s playing in the positions they are best at, he will win over both players and fans alike, however, pigs may fly before that day comes,

Can imagine dipper and Chelsea players laughing at Stones and walker for fucking up the CL final as they brag to them about how many times they have won it , with much inferior sides ,,,,,,yep , I Can just imagine that.

I can also imagine stones and walker telling them that if it wasn’t for our “genius” of a manager we wouldn’t have to take flak about fucking up the CL year in and year out .

[sheblue]

Don't know about the players, I don't know about trust.
But I still haven't forgiven him.

Grealish and Henderson are on video taking the piss out of Foden for Pep’s decisions in the CL final.

Stones and Walker are working under the best manager in the world. Maguire isn’t. But what’s to stop Maguire telling them both he’s won the Champions League the same amount of times as them?

Notts, correct me if I am wrong, but Sane was the only one that actually left (important). Silva and Aguero ended and cycle, but that was about it, the majority are here for a while now and won a shitload locally, so many of them want just one thing: the UCL.

I am thinking job-wise, would you go and try to work again on a project you failed, with the same leader? And not just one time, but two times in the past, Your favorite project. because with other projects you had incredible achievements.

Can they go for the quadruple again? Because Baldie will not tell them in July, listen, we will focus just on the league and UCL.
And I respect him for having the balls to do that.

If I were Maguire, the fact that I've won close to fuck all. Bit embarrassing to him to mouth off to be honest.

[zuricity]

Stupid thread. Players trust is irrelevant . It's all a matter whether the owner trust him .

They'll all tow the line when it comes to pay day.

Because he'd look a bit stupid when they talk PL medals and playing Leicester in the Community Shield.
As for Grealish he'd love to play for us, all he does is tweet about Kev

Agree with you both. But at the same time, what Maguire’s opinion on it has nothing to do with whether the players trust Pep.
