Over-hyped coach! If it was in barca or bayern, by now he would have won the league already! rubbish!

"Special one" is far better!

I am so happy he fell for our "trap" by listening to we "haters" who told him to come to EPL to prove himself!

He (Guardiola) will go trophyless this season!

Btw...How I wish messi will also fall for our "trap" and come to england. Lemme see whether he will win all the trophies like he is doing at barcelona

This is a fecking lie. I watched the post match interview. Pep did NOT say anything about Iheanacho at all.

The man was more concerned about the tendency of the English refs to give red cards to his team.

Who's writing all these nonsense anyway

Lol. Guy, which kind average coach carries 20 trophies including two champions league trophies within seven years?

Segadem:
EPL?
No bearing?

Decapo:

He has all the best players in Barcelona let him continue that now in England...I bet he won't even finish top 4 this season...he his just a useless piece of sh!t...when he was in Bayern why didn't he lift the champions league? The dude is just a failure

ericmor:


Smh. This is just a real comment hater of success

ddippset:
so you mean real Madrid is such a useless team? The same real Madrid pep was tearing up in LA liga would beat every single EPL team home and away. His epl career is just starting and dont be surprised if pep gets to win 3 of the next 5 epl titles. By the way Messi would anahilate every single one of em like he does season after season in the champions league. If little and lazy players like fabregas, mata, David Silva, Diego Costa, aguero, pedro can perform better in England than in Spain then EPL would be a piece of cake for messi. Stop overhyping that kick and rush league abeg. Even ozil and Alexis Sanchez who were just above average in LA liga are tearing up the EPL with fine performances. Then messi? Pleeeeeease!

Baba, give Swansea Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Rakitic, Denis Suarez and Kolo Toure as manager, they will lift Epl. Those players are consistent. There's nothing special bou Pep lifting so many trophies at Barcelona, he had a team.

Guardiola is a good coach but not an exceptional coach. Guardiola has the standard tiki Tama formation methods he learnt from cruyff and he constantly needs exceptional players if not he can't function but unfortunately exceptional players are extremely rare . Apart from modric now , you can't find a midfielders as good as Xavi and iniesta cause those type of players come out once in 15-20years and in very few numbers so you're left with normal good players like every other coach has got also. If you want to know exceptional coaches, you look at how they make use of whatever resource at their disposal to succeed. Liverpool don't have the best players every and heck their defense is terrible and their midfield have got average good players but klop is teaching them how to cloak their weakness and expand their strength of which a good example is Henderson.
Guardiola took over from rijkaard and I see post here saying barca went two season trophyless but they forget same rijkaard when he 1st came baca was languishing in 14th place without even Europa cup but rijkaard turned their fortune around and won the champions league and laliga trophies. Even Ferguson went 2years trophyless from 2003-2006.
Guardiola doesn't realize that to excell in premier league you must be agressive .Look at Chelsea and liverpool ,the aggression is what makes them tick and you can see teams like arsenal haven't won the league for ages simply because Wenger's teams are too light and void of aggression.

[b][i] let me give my own defination of my exceptional coach, Ferguson and wenger( though I'm a Chelsea fan)
Are u surprised? Yes don't be surprised
For like ten years and above Wenger had low budget for transfer window and atimes he uses some of the academic boys in his team yet he never go out of top4,
How much is the value of messi ? How much is the value of CR7, bale neymar, Suarez, just to mention but a few
These kind of players can not be in your team without winning a trophy per season, the wages of these players can even buy another team

I remember last season when man u played against Mk dons and they were beaten and some analysts say the wages of Rooney alone can pay the entire team

So my own defination of an exceptional coach is manage a low budget team, and win something big

...abi how can u explain this? You call yourself a best driver in the world and u bought buggati or Ferrari and u give me 1986 Toyota model to compete in the same race with someone who has buggatti or Ferrari

chrissy3:
Ozil was the number one assist player in Europe through out his 3years in Madrid and to you he was average and costa, aguero didn't tear laliga apart right? Like DAVID Silva of 23year who was still developing wasn't tormenting defenses in laliga ? And fabregas who's not as good as Xavi and iniesta should go and bench them? Nigga please. Your points doesn't prove anything .

chrissy3:
If you notice when huynked bayern beat guardiola bayern by for goals ,Madrid hammer bayern 4 goal ,Holland choke Spain 5, you would notice that all these teams made use of gegen pressing to counter guardiola 's ball playing keeper build up from the back and effectively halting that possession game . The key to choking guardiola is to choke his keeper and defenders to submission because he uses the keep to play and that indirectly gives you falls red card meaning he has 11 outfield players to your 10. Notice how neur became a sweeper keeper that's always out of his. 18 yard box because he's also an outfield player. Then again notice how dominant man city were in the 1st half against man utd but when mourinho came out to play ,he had to remove a striker I think iheanacho and brought Fernando in other to cope . Guardiola doesn't know anything about any other way to play other than this his style and since he's been compromised, he can't adapt and change his style .
The hallmark of a good coach is adapting and flexibility of style that effectively gives you a path way to success. I see an exceptional coach in eddy howw cause in five season he brought bourmouth from league 2 or 3 (I'm not sure which ) to the premier league and on top of that they survived being relegated in their 1st season and in the second he's meeting his target which is to finish in the top half of the table. I must say bournmouth are the only small team I always look out to watch cause they are very entertaining and even souhampton .Notice how rubbish premier league small side play (palace,watford,etc) they are so painful to watch . Guardiola is a good coach but nothing special about him .
Truth is premier league is a test zone to see how good you are.Notice how ronaldo scored 30goals in the premier and then went to Spain and scored almost twice that number and the same with suarez. The thing is when teams like granada ,betis,gijon exist you would see why in Spain you would have upto 8players scoring above 20goals in the league. All those league defenses are complete disasters and trust me if Harry Kane goes to spain thesame would happen.

OK, u define exceptional coach as a coach that manages low budget team and wins something big, let me discount FA cups, super cups, charity cups etc and assume that the something big u mean is what we have been discussing here since which is either premier league or champions league. Wenger stays 20years in Arsenal with a low budget and wins only three premier league titles which translates to winning one premier league title in six to seven years. Do u also group Wenger as exceptional coach if he managed low budget team but was only able to win something big once in six years? If yes, then other examples of exceptional coaches would be Kenny Dalglish, Claudio Rianeri, Rafael Benitez, Jose Mourinho, etc and not Alex Ferguson.
2. Go check the salaries of the men that played under Ferguson in Man U and u realise he didn't have any low budget team then. Check Rooney, Vidic, Ferdinand, Young, Van Persie, Ronaldo and so many of them including the old players, comparing their salaries with the salaries of other players in Europe then, u realise the man didn't have a low budget. Man United had always been the club that paid players biggest wages in England till Man City and Chelsea emerged to compete with them and Man City and Chelsea haven't even been able to entirely out-pay them since. So, Ferguson as an example doesn't fit into ur definition of exceptional coaches.
Do u sincerely agree that Kenny Dalglish, Claudio Rianeri, Rafa Benitez, Wenger are exceptional coaches and Guardiola isn't?

lol....dat same special one ddnt sign players at both madrid (where he won 1 la liga in 3 yrs) or ull say he ddnt buy pogba for 90mill pounds......or that Ancelotti has made bayern look ordinary since Pep left them....lol....and who says messi won't make a fool of EPL; he does dat at the UCL often....and if mata, silva, yaya, navas, aguero, sanchez, ozil, coutinho, ordinary bellerin, monreal, costa, fabregas....can we pretend they didn't all come from la liga and bossing EPL...Aguero wasn't even top 5goalscorers in la liga even costa....

U might be right in ur analyses since u confirmed he is a good coach, just that u don't believe he is special. But I know that people like u will surely confirm him when he does the same magic in England. But, wait o, when exactly did Hynckes flog Guardiola?

ddippset:
your post has got length but no substance. Bar injuries ozil is shunning in the EPL, more than LA liga. Yes Costa and aguero where just above average in LA liga, today they are tearing apart the very very very very very difficult EPL. 23 yr old Silva still developing? How can a 23 year old be developing. Great players win ballon dor at 23. Nor be only developing. No one is saying fabregas should bench anybody, he had good game time at barca, he was just above average. At arsenal he was a world class young footballer, at Chelsea he is playing great football. Just quit with that myth that messi would not do well in the EPL, it's sillly, definitely silly.

Segadem:
You can't compare the budget of Sir Alex Ferguson with that of barca and real Madrid, in Spain barca and Madrid share almost 50% of total revenue that comes to laliga purse, while the other remaining 18 teams share the left-over, but in england it is not so,

...and uefa financial fair regulation is not helping at all, barca and real Madrid can break the rule to buy any player with exhobitant tag price but if Chelsea or man u abi man city tries it, they will fine them

Now to answer your question, yes Ferguson was an exceptional coach, he won quite numbers of trophies without breaking uefa fanacial fair play regulation like barca and Madrid always do
