Heard that analogy last night and i think it is a very appropriate description.

11 Robots with a built in algorithm to pass at all costs to each other what ever the cost. It is soul destroying to watch talented players playing like this. Zero flair all their talents coached out of them to play this shit insipid football.

Pep has destroyed us by coaching everything good out of our players. Individuality has gone. Moments of brilliance very rare and likely will have players dropped to the Bench.

After the little Holiday in Catalonia before the Cup game, it was clear the only plan we had yesterday was to Pass the opposition to death and hope we get a cross in to Haaland at some point.75 minutes before the first substitution. And then a bit of a tinkering having Foden feed Akanji on the wing. .What must Jack Grealish be thinking played in every Cup game to the Final. Sat there whilst Echerevri who has not figured in any games in any capacity since Signing in Jasnuary was brought on. Starting to think the rumours of him shagging Pep ex might be true. There is more to Grealish treatment it is obvious.

Also i will say it again how did KDB go from getting little to zero game time. Get told you are out of the Door the end of the Season. Then when he will be clearly unmotivated by the Club treatment get to play every game since. Is that what Pep really wants in the Players ?

I am not convinced Pep is manufacturing his own exit from the Club so inexplicable have his management choices become.

I fully expect Tuesday will be a Horror show with KDB getting to leave us the wrong lasting Legacy.

Really really pains me to say it but imagine what Klopp or Howe or Alonso or Flick would do with our players. We may not win every time but it would be more entertaining than what we’ve seen this season. The constant passing and general lack of direction has now got boring IMO. We have pace on the flanks and don’t use it. We have one of the best forwards in the world and don’t play to his strengths. We have energetic midfielders and don’t utilise them. We shoehorn players into unfamiliar positions and roles.

This is not a Pep side of even 2 years ago. Pellegrini now would arguably get a better tune out of the squad now

Here is Pep take on Yesterday game :

It is actually disturbing because i actually think he believes in what he is saying .


Guardiola: "We played much better than when we won 5-2 (against Palace last month) and much much better than last season in the final against United."

Obsessed with possession, footballs more than just possession. I’m sure he’d rather lose but have 90% possession than win with 10%. Obsessed.

Wenger type delusion. This carries on next season unless the board grow some balls

We played better when he didn’t give the players 2 days off a week and fucked off to Spain every week on his jollies.
The campus is like a fucking holiday camp, men’s and women team just arsing around doing photo shoots and stupid videos. We’ve been surpassed by mediocre teams

He's lying. Bernardo Silva was nowhere near the pitch we scored 5. He played today and blatantly refused to pass to Echeverri

Pep needs to take at least a monthlong leave of absence. Go to Barcelona and patch up with his wife and kids. His personal life turmoil had affected his professional life and the team suffered drastically!

For 90 mins I sat down on my couch shouting "Can't he see what's happening on the pitch, how ineffective we are" I have gotten my answer
