Yo, I think they're gonna fire him now.
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola | Pep on City v Liverpool ref: "He likes to be special"

Shit game plan from Pep
Tactics are especially shambolic tonight
Wow, he is embarrassing himself. I would just quit the job before more damage is done.
It's not like he'd win one of the other top leagues with this team (be that because of his tactics or the players).
I still remember his post a few weeks into the season
'Football revolution incoming'
Getting ripped to shreds. Wtf is that defensive line?
Lost their heads.
Looks great to me.
Time to bump the "premier league is no more intense than any other league says Pep" thread.
A pep sack watch thread might not be too far away
we must have been seriously shite this season not to catch up with these

Perhaps the revolutionary part is doing it with no players that can defend and a keeper who can't use his hands.
He needs some defenders.
I am relieved that he won't dominate the league like many here claimed after just few weeks. Who would have expected that he wouldn't dominate premiership like he did with Bayern in Bundesliga?
The sheikhs will toss him a solid £150m to buy a new defence, but knowing Pep he'll probably go down the cool route and buy some more midfielders to retrain as proper hip ball playing CB's.
The midfielders are getting away with it imo. What does Gundogan bring to this side?
That was never in the scheme of things. There is no GOAT player in the Man City team.
His insistence on a GK that is good with feet is just bonkers. Any half decent manager's primary requirement from a GK is shot stopping. Anything else is an added bonus
Well...it's getting nasty for him!
They are us under LVG...
He's got a better squad than Atletico, Dortmund or Leipzig or Leicester so that's not the problem here. He's new to the league and he's finding out that it's not as easy playing football when you've got more opponents than can give you game and you don't have the undisputed best team in the country or the world for that matter.
This is exactly the sort of oppo tactics Leicester have wanted all season, the kind of opposition game that won them the league. And Pep is falling into the same trap.
This obsession with playing it from the back when none of your back 4 is good on the ball is a mystery to me 
Guardiola is showing his limits
Guardiola is showing his limitsWho, Ribery?
Who is he going to buy?
Will probably go in for Van Dijk, also there are a few good ones in the German \ Italian leagues.
The word 'fraud' springs to mind.
Pep's just a bald LVG.
Baldy be going crazy.
The bald truth.
Indeed. It is like 2015 all over again. Leicester sit in and hit you on the break with Vardy's pace. City's high line and narrow full backs is a gift.

As said I'm not saying it's not his fault just that the way City play they wouldn't be close to the top in the spanish or german league either.
Won't get any easier. They still have Arsenal and Liverpool later this month.
Love it
Blimey 3-0
They would be about the same level considering their form in the beginning.
He's implementing the same tactics and game plan of old but with markedly inferior players. It's not going to work.
I mean, it probably will eventually, but it's going to cost City some serious money in the transfer market.

Nah, LVG had us defensively sound.
So will Pep have to build a team for the Premier League? will be fun
But...but.. they have Pep and are going to dominate English football for the next 3 years?
Except against Leicester...
