Pep was just peculiarly reminding Prem that he's won 6 titles in 7 seasons so know your role 😂 He's humble tho but he's also patronizing which not many notice that
They never went beast mode in the 2nd half when Liverpool won the league and this looks like the same story. They lost Otamendi and blamed it on that for poor results. This is the same with Rodri.
There's no beast mode to go to this season. They lose balance without Rodri. Obviously KDB is not fully fit. Will they get replacements in January? Left to be seen.
It’s incredibly hilarious to hear Ale, who scored all of 53 goals in an 11 year MLS career, questioning Pep. Who has achieved just about everything there is to achieve at the very elite level of the game. Ale’s ego is far too big.
Pep will sort things out.. He'll catch everyone by surprise with new tactics yet again then he'll start grim re@ ping the league.. We've watched this Netflix series before Lol
If you watch football you will realise Mancity is not as domineering as in previous Seasons , imagine City surrendering a lead and losing from a winning position, that's unheard of ,this City team is vulnerable unlike previous City teams and the talk that they will recover and overtake whoever is infront of them is a tired narrative, if City goes to Anfield in their current form I can see them getting slapped by Liverpool who will open an 8 point lead on them and they are yet to go to Spurs who will also be licking their lips having slapped them already in the Carabao Cup.
Ali is spot on.The high line without Rodri just simply doesn't work as it makes them much more vulnerable.Pep should either play two DMs in the middle of the park to cover up the spaces between the midfield and the back line much more quicker or should play the back line deeper.
It’s all on and up to Pep. He’s the one responsible for the absurd tactics we’re playing (3-1-6) that even if we had Rodri, he’d be struggling with this system. If Pep wants to change, then City will do better. If he wants to continue playing tactics that our available players simply cannot execute, then we will drop more points. It’s Pep’s world and we’re all just living in it
It is still funny that losing 4 straight matches and yet he is still in second position, lost 2 league games and still he is ahead of the third with much points...premier league's a joke!😂
This is chess not checkers and this is how Man City’s understanding of the game is literally genius, I mean the hierarchy know that the club’s under pressure from the legal board and the only way to diffuse the situation is to create chaos and give other clubs a sense of belief that maybe just maybe, but we all know what happens at the end of the season.
Only in the EPL this can happen to Pep. When Klopp said he was running out of energy many people criticized him for the time he said it or why he said it. I respect the guy for standing up for what he believes. Pep might be running out of steam and needs to take a break. When I saw Pep’s body language during and after the game; I saw, for the first time, a manager who has run out of energy. He looked exhausted to me.
Serie A has been named the best league in the world for 2023 by the IFFHS. The IFFHS uses a series of calculations and statistics to make its ranking and the Premier League has been second in six of the last seven years, only topping the statistics in 2019
Feel sorry that ESPN has a contract with Moreno. I don't know if he contributes to any positive discussion for some of the viewers, but he doesn't deserve to be in the same room as Pep, let alone participate in any meaningful discussion. Perhaps ESPN simply wants him to goad the viewers for greater participation, I don't know.
@@matthewm3869 Thank you for pointing that out! That was my point precisely. Thanks for reinforcing it. I've seen this in other "non-sports" media, and that is why I reacted.
Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly a good manager. Having the best players in the league at the best club in the country - as he has had with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City - does not guarantee that you’ll get the best out of those players. But he is neither a genius nor the best manager in the world, as the media have made him out to be. When he is missing some of his top players and has to make do with players at a slightly lower level, despite still having the best squad in the league, he can lose four games in a row, something that even the much-maligned Eric Ten Hag did not manage to do at Manchester United. Managers like Unai Emery have taken a job at a relegation-threatened club and taken the club to the highest level with few resources. Harry Redknapp pointed out years ago that, if you gave Pep Guardiola the managerial job at Sunderland, he wouldn’t finish in the top six - and he was probably right.
That shows how low your football IQ is. Who do you think will finish top six with this Sunderland? Let me tell you that managing best players is as difficult as you can imagine. What did Morinho do with a Real Madrid team with Ronaldo and other best players? Did Alex Fugerson win everything with Sunderland? Mention any top coach in the history of the world who dominated with a smaller team? You’re just ignorant and hating. Shame on you
Ah yes, remind us what Emery did at PSG again... I am pretty sure he set the world on fire. and of course Rico, Savinho, Doku, Kovacic, Ake, Akanji, a washed walker, Stones, Diaz make up the best squad in the league. A man that has won a 4 peat in the best league in the world is not a genius nor is he the best manager in the world. 6 league titles in 7 years, 13 in 15 seasons... 3 UCLs already and 38 titles but he's not a genius. who is the genius then, enlighten us?
It's an aging squad. No wonder they are struggling. But good thing for city fans is they are most likely get better from here with the players returning.
Pep knows his team better than anyone else, but holy moly does he need to keep Walker on the bench. He doesn’t venture inside as much as Rico, so you’d think he would be more defensively solid on the right, but he’s playing like dog water.
@@juanarellano4425 Walker not feeling 100% fit. He had a long season last year. All England superstars are not doing well this season like Rice , Foden & Bellingham they did have a long season last year. Walker needs to get fit & play more games and Man City have to get all injured players back n sign #6 in January I believe the team will get back on the track
You are talking about Pep and ManCity: 6x PL champions in the last 7 seasons. Arteta and Slot know that Pep will sort this out. Pep only wanted to relief his team of some pressure. Besides ManCity is suffering from too many injuries.
These people are ridiculous....Man City has 8 unfit players , 7 of them out injured ..... why are these clowns pretending that a fit Man City Team won't win the Prem again????
Yes! Lately, MC have been more vulnerable defensively? Prev. Rodri might have stopped the counter-attack in MF, but these days, the opposition could run thru the middle and with Lewis asked to play further up field, there are spaces to be exploited? Yes! PepG is in a dilemma becoz if they play more defensively which is not their style in the past 6-7 yrs, their attack might suffer? So how? 😱😱
You can't blame Pep as a coach, he's proven himself time and time again. Sometimes the players taste success and think they can take the pedal off the breaks.
The problem we are seeing with Pep and his defense is that he buys defenders who attacks more than they can defend. Walker is usually all the way up the wing, Gvardiol is the same, and Rico Lewis wont stay in defense. This is unlike Konate and VVD of Liverpool or Gabriel and Saliba whose jobs are primarily to defend so allow the midfielders and forward players to do their job. When these players who happen to be too slow in 2024 , press too high and are caught out with a long pass, it is game over. Question is, why not change this tactics. Use a 4-2-3-1 with Gvardiol and Kovacic as 6s. We also need to play the ball faster in attack as we always give the opponents too much time to recover. Maybe we need to buy Neto or a player like him who can run and kick, unlike Savinho who cannot kick.
It is 11 games. Nobody wins the EPL with 27 games still to play. Liverpool had 5 points lead in February and ended up 3rd. One thing appears to be obvious this season is that the chasing pack is crowded. Teams will drop more points and that includes the top 2.
I might be misremembering this, but I'm sure a few seasons ago, Liverpool were 5 points ahead of City around Feb March, and they played them at City, so had the chance to go 8 points clear. City won and went on a winning streak all the way to the end and won the title. It's November. Anyone talking about crises and titles at this point is either a fool, or a clickbaiter. I'm a Liverpool fan BTW, so it's not like I want City to win again, it's just realism.
This was the Vintage City who chased it down. Prior to Liverpool opening the gap they had 1 or 2 hiccups but nothing major as they were still performing. The hiccups and flat performances this season are reminiscent of when they lost Otamendi in 2019/2020 and Liverpool smashed them winning the league in record games to spare. So this doesn't look like a comeback. Especially since they did 4 titles in a row. It's enough. 5 in a row and 4 in row won't be broken in consecutive seasons. The premier league is tough, 5 in a row will happen in a much much later stage.
Pep knows and feels it when his back is against the wall. His obsession with wining won’t make him back down so he surely won’t want to loose the league and these journalists are just like ants around his mighty castle so he just gave them what they want to worry about to take away the pressure and also humble himself just alil bit… imagine he fixing the situation after what he said…
Pep has the best teams and have been the standard stopping my Liverpool but I can’t kill him here. Though I’m not organizing a pity party for them his most influential players in the middle of the park have been missing. Nothing lasts forever
City did not "completely" dominated Brighton. The game was evenly balanced and Brighton played some attractive football. Give credit where credit is due.
I wonder if City would be playing better if they had kept Cole Palmer and Julien Alvarez? Is there anyone else they recently parted with that could be helping them?
Ali is 1000% correct, kova can't never play single pivot and Rico, silver, Phil just passed the ball around, and firstly mancity can't even press high and all their defenders don't want to defend they just snap the player with the ball
Every year City has this amount of points at this stage of the season....why is there a pretense that this is somewhat new or shocking??? Liverpool had a 5 point lead in January, how did that turn out ???
Where liverpool suffering loads of injury by last January or not? To the extent they feeded kids in the Efl final against Chelsea in Feb of last year. Perspective matters
That's coz it was the old familiar city that could chase it down. They look to flat to do it. The last time they looked this flat was when they lost Otamendi through injury in 2019/2020 and Liverpool smashed them and won the league in record time with 7-8 games to spare.
@adedayooladejo661 the answer is no ....in the game you talking about yes youngster played in extra time but that starting 11 was missing only Trent and Salah....There is no point in which Klopp has had to deal with this level of injuries all at once ....this is what makes the situation worse and unusual.....
@@LlewellynReeve man city has 9 possibly 10 players currently unfit...last season Liverpool had a 5 points lead in January and Liverpool were no where to be found in the title race in the end .... Liverpool has had a very good run of games however the winter schedule will be brutal for Liverpool as well as the run of games to end the season....City getting their players back fit and rumoured to be looking to reinforce in January....if you want to write City off when a Liverpool draw and a City win can narrow the point gap to only 3 is absolutely madness....
@@Rodney231 Apart from Rodri, I don't see any class coming in that coudve changed things in terms of results, they were flat. And rodri is a 6. They look flat going forward. Liverpool played much of last season with multiple players missing injury afcon etc. as youngsters even played but one thing was for sure their was no drop in performance. Again the last time they looked this flat was in 2019/2020 and Liverpool won it. All those years they chased it down it was hiccups not looking flat. It's not about missing players I see de Bruyne, Foden etc. All underperforming this season. I mean for e.g. Foden has only got 1 goal all season. So regardless of players missing he is flat as he creates his own goals. It was never like this previously, even when they had hiccups and chased it down, so that's why I'll only give them a 10% chance of winning it.
They are used to 90 percent of the teams lying down. They have had to play the whole 90 plus every game and they are not mentally or physically tough enough for it
Nedam would like to see the question asked to pep but would never ever use the same standard to Bruno Fernandes or a Manchester United manager. A hypocrite.
Coukd Pep take an Ipswich team and make them better? Remember Pep only manages big teams. That's a big difference. He gets what he wants - most times. He didn't win a UCL title with Bayern.
Wrong, it is do with how set up, previously City would play Rodri + another in midfield, now only Kovacic with 4 midfielders higher up that do not defend, causing a depleted back 4 to be totally exposed
Ale : Pep must not wait for the Rodri and Co who are injured but find alternative solutions Also Ale: If Toni Kross had come out of retirement just before the El Classico, Real Madrid would have won it. 😄😃😂😆
Using injuries as excuses for bad performances for City and Arsenal is just pathetic. It’s a part of the game. Liverpool played through it last season with the like of Ryes Williams in defense and yet, were challenging for the title until about half dozen games. Yet many said they choked. But now you want to give excuses for city and arsenal in order to minimize the performance of another team. If city were winning those games, you’ll be talking about the depth of the squad and how they have players who can come from the bench and change games. With the money the spend on players every season they shouldn’t be giving excuses.
10:19 please! Where was all this excuse-making when united literally had a full squad out due to injuries last season, we were told it's the managers job to find solutions, do us a favour man
you people pretend like chelsea never had a list of 20 injured players....if mancitys list reach those numbers we ill see whether they can compete for top four
Pep is second and they are questioning him. Let some of manage a team and we see, they all support arsenal to win the league, so how will that happen if city doesn't drop points..... This media people should give respect
MC are still the team to beat. Most teams go through a period when things aren't going well and this is theirs. The 5 point gap behind Liverpool is nothing. Liverpool will also go through a difficult time and if history repeats itself it will be at the business end of the season when they can least afford it.
All these are maybe/maybe not.....very much subjective. Football is not certainty like 2 + 2 = 4. INJURIES AS WELL AS POOR REFERRING DECISIONS CAN DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF FOOTBALL MATCHES
That's what all City fans said in the 2019/2020 season when Liverpool smashed it. They lost Otamendi and looked flat just like they do now. Those other seasons they still looked good although they dropped points.
"If I'm Pep Guardiola..." and continues yapping as if he's a better tactician than Pep. Pep will walk the league, He's only in 2nd position and he'll recover.
This guy is amazing why don’t you become a manager instead of just talking. Cause honestly that’s all you do. He lost 2 premier league game and look all the Bs you talking one champion league game and one league cup is unbelievable
take salah away from liverpool and watch what happens... if you lose your best player it hurts and unbalances the team... arsenal the same with odegaard. it's a long season
Pep talking like he won with his coaching they won with spending Pellegrini and Mancini average coaches won title with city .. spending big and sign world's best player is simple formula still after 8 year pep won CL with city and he forget first two year at city if it's his coaching den they should've won in first two year .. world's best coach is average without one player what about other 10 players ? They all are top class players
Pep was just peculiarly reminding Prem that he's won 6 titles in 7 seasons so know your role 😂 He's humble tho but he's also patronizing which not many notice that
lets see. They always go beast mode second half of the season
They've never been without Rodri in second half of season.

City did not "completely" dominated Brighton. The game was evenly balanced and Brighton played some attractive football. Give credit where credit is due.
First half city did dominate. The second half was mostly all brighton
Just look at Ale teaching guardiola about tactics lol
I wonder if City would be playing better if they had kept Cole Palmer and Julien Alvarez? Is there anyone else they recently parted with that could be helping them?
Do not worry, Pep will surprise you with two great signings in January.
Ali is 1000% correct, kova can't never play single pivot and Rico, silver, Phil just passed the ball around, and firstly mancity can't even press high and all their defenders don't want to defend they just snap the player with the ball
Every year City has this amount of points at this stage of the season....why is there a pretense that this is somewhat new or shocking??? Liverpool had a 5 point lead in January, how did that turn out ???
Where liverpool suffering loads of injury by last January or not? To the extent they feeded kids in the Efl final against Chelsea in Feb of last year.
Perspective matters
That's coz it was the old familiar city that could chase it down. They look to flat to do it. The last time they looked this flat was when they lost Otamendi through injury in 2019/2020 and Liverpool smashed them and won the league in record time with 7-8 games to spare.
@adedayooladejo661 the answer is no ....in the game you talking about yes youngster played in extra time but that starting 11 was missing only Trent and Salah....There is no point in which Klopp has had to deal with this level of injuries all at once ....this is what makes the situation worse and unusual.....
@@LlewellynReeve man city has 9 possibly 10 players currently unfit...last season Liverpool had a 5 points lead in January and Liverpool were no where to be found in the title race in the end .... Liverpool has had a very good run of games however the winter schedule will be brutal for Liverpool as well as the run of games to end the season....City getting their players back fit and rumoured to be looking to reinforce in January....if you want to write City off when a Liverpool draw and a City win can narrow the point gap to only 3 is absolutely madness....
@@Rodney231 Apart from Rodri, I don't see any class coming in that coudve changed things in terms of results, they were flat. And rodri is a 6. They look flat going forward. Liverpool played much of last season with multiple players missing injury afcon etc. as youngsters even played but one thing was for sure their was no drop in performance. Again the last time they looked this flat was in 2019/2020 and Liverpool won it. All those years they chased it down it was hiccups not looking flat. It's not about missing players I see de Bruyne, Foden etc. All underperforming this season. I mean for e.g. Foden has only got 1 goal all season. So regardless of players missing he is flat as he creates his own goals. It was never like this previously, even when they had hiccups and chased it down, so that's why I'll only give them a 10% chance of winning it.
They are used to 90 percent of the teams lying down. They have had to play the whole 90 plus every game and they are not mentally or physically tough enough for it
Everyone, Alle is right and he is talking ball!
Nadom good ,u realize what's going on, good speech, giv u a star 🌟 city 4 life
The key match is Liverpool facing City at Anfield after facing spurs. If they lose both then the league is looking very hard.
I've never seen man city get this much attention on espn , they been waiting for this downfall 😂
you are just yapping!
Nedam would like to see the question asked to pep but would never ever use the same standard to Bruno Fernandes or a Manchester United manager. A hypocrite.
No mention of the 6/7 first team players out injured
Trying give pep guardiola a choaching advise is wild as a pandit
Nadum speaks sense
Coukd Pep take an Ipswich team and make them better? Remember Pep only manages big teams. That's a big difference. He gets what he wants - most times. He didn't win a UCL title with Bayern.
Wrong, it is do with how set up, previously City would play Rodri + another in midfield, now only Kovacic with 4 midfielders higher up that do not defend, causing a depleted back 4 to be totally exposed
Ale : Pep must not wait for the Rodri and Co who are injured but find alternative solutions
Also Ale: If Toni Kross had come out of retirement just before the El Classico, Real Madrid would have won it.
😄😃😂😆
Using injuries as excuses for bad performances for City and Arsenal is just pathetic.
It’s a part of the game. Liverpool played through it last season with the like of Ryes Williams in defense and yet, were challenging for the title until about half dozen games. Yet many said they choked. But now you want to give excuses for city and arsenal in order to minimize the performance of another team. If city were winning those games, you’ll be talking about the depth of the squad and how they have players who can come from the bench and change games. With the money the spend on players every season they shouldn’t be giving excuses.
10:19 please! Where was all this excuse-making when united literally had a full squad out due to injuries last season, we were told it's the managers job to find solutions, do us a favour man
Pep doesn't like to substitute even if some players a playing the worst
you people pretend like chelsea never had a list of 20 injured players....if mancitys list reach those numbers we ill see whether they can compete for top four
Pep is second and they are questioning him. Let some of manage a team and we see, they all support arsenal to win the league, so how will that happen if city doesn't drop points.....
This media people should give respect
if only 4th was given this leeway when playing Casemiro and kids at CB
All I can say is, Pep love challenges and he'll want to stay more to prove ppl wrong once more
He just wants to give everyone something to talk about
MC are still the team to beat.
Most teams go through a period when things aren't going well and this is theirs.
The 5 point gap behind Liverpool is nothing.
Liverpool will also go through a difficult time and if history repeats itself it will be at the business end of the season when they can least afford it.
All these are maybe/maybe not.....very much subjective. Football is not certainty like 2 + 2 = 4.
INJURIES AS WELL AS POOR REFERRING DECISIONS CAN DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF FOOTBALL MATCHES
That's what all City fans said in the 2019/2020 season when Liverpool smashed it. They lost Otamendi and looked flat just like they do now. Those other seasons they still looked good although they dropped points.
"If I'm Pep Guardiola..." and continues yapping as if he's a better tactician than Pep.
Pep will walk the league, He's only in 2nd position and he'll recover.
Pep is arguably the greatest but sometimes his arrogance can be a negative effect on the team.
Not gonna talk about David coote?
Pep has a double majors in Pyschology 😆😆
They won 4, Cavanah and Tierney gave him 2 of em. Btw, they bought em and not won em
SUN WORSHIP IN SPORTS IS SUN WORSHIP 😢
Love the content until Aleandro starts talking 😲
Asking for a friend, did Pep lose the Premier League already?
why y'all panicking?
Lol ale scored 53 goals in 11 seasons 😂
And which coaching credentials does this Moreno guy has
This pundits are annoying, so we should all continue watching EPL just to watch one team dominate? This is good for football
Why not we just keep watching as an entertainment things? Some people really have to hate Pep and city that bad? You guys bet on your house or what?
Yeah, pep will sort everything in January by spending $100-200M
Who is Alejandro Moreno to question Pep?
First off i Can't wait to hare waht they will say after the tottenham game coming up pep take from thare 😂
Talk as if man city in man utd position in league. Look how many trophies they have won and stop acting like women there
He has to visit Abu Dhabi first.
Everyone can win through 115
ale moreno is questioning pep lol
end it now!
Posting city cheating stats is crazy
It's still only 5, come back when it's like 10
This guy is amazing why don’t you become a manager instead of just talking. Cause honestly that’s all you do. He lost 2 premier league game and look all the Bs you talking one champion league game and one league cup is unbelievable
Pep looks tired. He will follow Klopp at the end of this season
It is simple ., injuries injuries injuries
Yeah.. Only for City to win all of their last 15 matches at the end of the season
Lmfao these guys letting Man City off the hook for injuries. My my my
take salah away from liverpool and watch what happens... if you lose your best player it hurts and unbalances the team... arsenal the same with odegaard. it's a long season
Pep talking like he won with his coaching they won with spending Pellegrini and Mancini average coaches won title with city .. spending big and sign world's best player is simple formula still after 8 year pep won CL with city and he forget first two year at city if it's his coaching den they should've won in first two year .. world's best coach is average without one player what about other 10 players ? They all are top class players
Liverpool and Arsenal have just as many injuries and are not the second richest club on the planet
Mind games!
Who is Ale Moreno ??!!
