How was Yeri Mina's cameo?

Just one defensive header of note from a corner, but I saw him trying to coordinate the defense, displaying leadership skills, on Sunday would be a perfect game to properly assess him

Olamyyde:
That is the best comparison for Andre gomes. Dude is nothing but an average player who can shine for midtable teams. I don't understand why coaches give him much playing time. The best match he ever played was that man city away leg last year. I'm beginning to think he finds a way to get coaches nude pics.

Barça wanna sell him in the summer, the only smart way to do that is to get as many games under his belt this season, and we all know he would start for Portugal in the wc

SerVik:
I've tried to defend gomes in the past. When he makes 99 errors, I always try to find the one thing he did right and praise him for it.

However, I've had it up to here with that nigga. I'm convinced he's a mole planted by his Portuguese compadre in the capital.

Andre gomes is the bakayoko of barca.

Meanwhile, big ups to jasper cilesen. He showed some sharp reflexes. Needs to work on his ball distribution though.

Gomes is played out of position oga, far better than that bag of beans played in his position

jonsnow92:
Watching Gomes is pure Torture..This First half He's been really Poor..Phil should have started ahead of that cuunt since He can only play in the league and Cup anyway..I wonder y EV benched him self.




Valencia been using WWE tactics for Us though.

In EV WE TRUST, he perfectly knows what he is doing, and not afraid to effect changes when it's not working

doughziay:
HALF TIME SCORE 1:1

Watch out for full time.

CASTED INTO A SUNKEN PLACE

Brazil is winning the world cup and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

The twitter lifting punting god has spoken .. Don't let the machines rape them again ooo

kanaleke:
Please is DStv not showing this Copa del Rey. Can’t just tell you guys how painful it was to miss the first leg. Is there a possibility that DStv might air this second leg live ??

Kwese sports 1, bein sports 1-3 (one of them would) dstv showing it in South Africa only Ss5

10Dove:
you do realize that conte could be sacked b4 then? Pique is out, anything can happen. The situation is too similar to 2012

Pique isn't out, same thing happened to paulinho, thought he would be out for long, he played again after few days, no official timeline on pique injury, so nothing can be ruled out, can't wait to see mina on Thursday though not a perfect time to play your first game in a barca shirt.. But am confident

hinohsend:
LOL, People that have been colonizing your thread since last week. This thread should be renamed Official Man U/Man city/Pep Guardiola Thread.

closerange:
Seriously, you are beginning to piss me off with your incredible stoopidity...
Is the issue about when he was announced or when he started coaching them? Did his announcement, coach the players, did his announcement help them with the treble, just what role did his announcement play in making them win the Treble that season?
Are you really stoopid or acting it??
Who cares about how fast he won the league, did he receive an extra trophy for that?? WO, no vex me oh...

Oga free this guys, their oblongata is paining them seriously, winning ucl that has to do with lots of elements working in your favour, injuries, officiating especially in knock outs, the draws, fatigue and more importantly luck etc... I find it funny how pep is getting mentioned on man u thread even more than Mou... Speaks volumes

Pep Guardiola leaves Bayern Munich as the best manager in Bundesliga history

foxsports
May 7, 2016 at 11:31a ET
Was Pep Guardiola’s time at Bayern Munich a success? Seeing as he failed to win the UEFA Champions League, or even make it to a final, some have argued no. That’s an extraordinarily high bar to set, maybe even an unfairly high bar, but that comes with being Pep Guardiola, managing at Bayern Munich and taking over a team that had just won the treble.

But one thing is pretty clear: Guardiola is the best manager in the history of the Bundesliga.

Nobody in Germany has been able to touch Bayern Munich in Guardiola’s three years at the Allianz Arena. He has three league titles to his name, making him perfect in the Bundesliga, but Guardiola’s dominance cannot be summed up by simply counting trophies. Bayern did so much more than simply finish in first place since the Spaniard took over.

Bayern Munich absolutely throttled the rest of the Bundesliga.

Just look back to Guardiola’s first season at the club. Bayern went undefeated in their first 28 matches under Guardiola and even won 19 straight at one point. Only once did they concede more than one goal in that span and they had a goal difference of 66. By the time they finally lost, on April 5, they had already clinched the league, having become the first team in history to win the Bundesliga in March.



The Bundesliga had never seen a team as dominant as Bayern Munich in 2013/14. And they were nearly as good in Guardiola’s second campaign.

Bayern didn’t make it to April undefeated that season. Instead, the Bavarians only managed to go undefeated in their first 17 matches. And Guardiola’s men didn’t win the league in March, instead waiting until April, but still clinching with four matches to play.

Even this season, Guardiola’s third at Bayern, there was never really a title race.

Bayern Munich won their first 10 matches of the season and, with one match to play, have only lost twice. They’ve been an absolute machine and while it took until May to win the league this time around, the Bundesliga was all but wrapped up on March 5, when they drew at Borussia Dortmund to kill any chance their yellow-clad rivals had of catching incomprable Bayern.

It’s been a magnificent run for the Bavarians. It’s been one the Bundesliga has never seen before.



Whether it’s the trophies, the goals, the defense or the complete destruction of any other German club’s belief that they might have a chance of winning the league, Guardiola’s Bayern have been so far beyond any other Bundesliga club in history.

Bayern have been so good that the team’s regression over the last three years, going from the best the Bundesliga has ever seen to one that is simply one of the best the Bundesliga has ever seen, is used as a knock on Guardiola. "The team isn’t making progress," some observers say. And maybe not, at least when it comes to results, but they’re still miles ahead of their competition.

And it would be unwise to simply look at results, anyway. Part of what Guardiola was charged with doing was to instill a real style and sustainable foundation at the club. It’s impossible to argue he hasn’t, with the possesion-based attack, constant movement, versatile and ever-evolving system that defies formation or even conventional soccer sense now the norm at the Allianz Arena.

It’s not as if Bayern were a long-standing unstoppable force when Guardiola took over, either. Yes, they had just won the treble, but Borussia Dortmund had won the Bundesliga in the two years prior. There was, supposedly, a real rivalry and competition at the top of the Bundesliga. At least that was the case when Guardiola first took the reins at Bayern Munich. We know that’s not the case now.

Maybe Guardiola isn’t an outright success at Bayern Munich. But you have to look to Europe to make that case. Because in Germany, Guardiola has no equal. Count the trophies. Add up the goals. Look at the way they play. Even look at the rest of the league, defeated from Day 1. Guardiola is the best the Bundesliga has ever seen.

Everyone agrees you need many elements to work in your favour to win the ucl, the league really defines how consistently good a team is

closerange:
You are a bloody liar, jupp heynkes, won the treble and was replaced by Guordiola the very next season... That team has not been the same since then, they had to bring back Heynkes to fix the mess....

Lools, mess caused by Ancelotti right?, let's see how heynkes clean up the supposedly caused mess since you wanna row pep into it in the ucl

Eruditor:
You asked me to check my facts and went on to tell more lies.

If Pep lost 3 times to RM under Mou how come in their whole career Mou has beat Pep only 4 times which includes (3-1 at Inter, 1-0 at United (Carling Cup) the 2-1(At Nou Camp I spoke of) and 1-0 at Copa Del Rey final when Pep won 5 trophies that season (he would have done another sextuple ). Same season he beat Mou 5-0 Nou Camp, 2-0 at Santiago UCL semis.

You talk about the coach before Pep and I laugh. When Pep was announced as the next coach Bayern had won nothing. Jupp had gone trophiless the season before. Please tell another lie.

Just forget these dudes with Lai Mohammed kinda lies

eph12:
Why do u guys always think everyone with a different opinion or view hates Pep?

I can twist this to say, why do you guys think everyone thinks because of this different opinion you have for pep resorts to hate... Truth is we all have divergent views, you looking at the head of the coin, another would give you reasons to look at the tail/base of the same coin

raumdeuter:
Like Mourinho didn't insult Conte on camera and recorded "What never happened to me is to be suspended for match fixing"
This is it on youtube unless you are saying the man speaking is not Mourinho


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtz-ZmsM8eg

This is about Mourinho going to Man City dressing room to tell them how to celebrate
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/11/jose-mourinho-fracas-manchester-city

Dude free these pained guys, fans who wanted pep over Mou all the time, and just vexed he chose their little neighbors over them... Mou who went as far as poking his finger into a rival manager eyes, same Mou after collecting 4 was telling conte to tone down his celebration, same Mou would walk back into the dressing room even before injury time when his side has a 3+ goal lead over an opposing team

eph12:
There are very few coaches that won't do well with Xavi Iniesta Messi

I read some comments and keep laughing, ancelotti couldn't even steady the ship at bayern, since pep did the easy job by doing the treble Bundesliga, remember before then it wasn't smooth sailing for bayern with klopp dortmund, the beauty about pep time at bayern was record number of game won, record time the league was over etc, same thing he is currently doing in the epl, the hate on pep can continue, he isn't a stranger to antagonists of his ideas, since epl fan boys were so over confident he would flop in the epl and run back to Spain, let them continue to eat their humble hating pie... I get satisfaction from comments portraying such hate n trolls

MoR2:
na kill dem wan kill bonucci self. it's interesting to note that Roma with rudiger finished 3rd then 2nd but now without him they are fifth.

I don't I have met, or read any post by any Chelsea fan hating on rudiger.

well e get somethings way just dey unique to NL

if it's dribbling what should Barca fans do to pique, even with the way Ramos world best CB misbehaves this days I don't think there is any defender without faults. it's childish if someone always only picks on a person's fault like wetin primary school children they do - aunty he has done it again o.

Ramos ain't even the best CB in Bernabeu, world best CB ke

SerVik:
@clumsyflimsy seems you'll be getting your wish to see yerry mina play as early as next week

verminator nearing his return too, but Mina should feature

tesppidd:
So it happens,

Valencia FC are going to lose all 4 of their super fixtures!

Would happily take a draw on Thursday, mehn the team needs a 7days break badly

CapitalCee:
Lol heaven knows I got no time for trolls. thank God my fellow united fans are seeing how silly these trolls are. they come to this thread with half truths and fallacies to spew their hate. let me tell you guys, whenever people run frantically to scorn at you. that means you are getting something right. they are surely jittery now.

jittery about who, got me cranked up

eph12:
What is he coming to do that the current coach cannot do at barca?

coaches in barca recently do not stay for more than 4years,the pressure n strain takes its toll... We want our product back to his roots sometime in the nearest future

sinizia:
Now i know why they call them Barkabots. Not all of them are brain-dead, Dmcdåd is an example of a Barca with sane reasoning, but for majority of them, their reasonings are nothing to write home about. Too many idiöts on this thread lately.

Result to abuses, you must be one of dem ryt,
Don't mind the so called barca boys, please epl fans n media look for a way to frustrate pep out, I need him back at catalonia in 2020...ama just happy he is finding his feet in England and proving everyone wrong with his style n beliefs on how he thinks the game should be played

sinizia:
We'd do your bidding because your opinions counts? You're on a United thread with your other Barca minions discussing about Pep, EPL, Man City and United, something you hypocrite ignore when the Neymar troll, Dayo and Eruditör etc does, and you think your opinion counts coz your papa created us? Get the fùck outta here!!

Seriously pained, can't remember a rule that says I can't comment bro, easy bro I can feel the frustration... Love the American accent

Tjohnnay:
D ref bet str8 draw

He did that because he was sure they made the right call, and the ref duly obliged him

sod09:
the first one was it a dive or not
This new month I promise myself not to reply stupid mentions again

Minimal contact by the keeper, Kane looked for it, but it's a stone wall penalty, these stuff was analyzed last night on Sky, both calls were correct, give credit to the officials, yes loserpool would feel aggrieved, but they should be self critical, I can't count how many goals they have conceded in the last 10 minutes of matches, it's an eye sore n very pathetic to say d least

jpmoriarti:
Hahahhaha..... A hilarious caption! If Jesus walks on water, Messi being god of football, can too

Mehn I think Iniesta walked fir a long time on water than Leo tho

Omelette21:
what date is the match ?

Next week, 14th feb I guess

Coutinho14:
This espanyol be playing like they are our rivals, am starting to wish them relegation (we still have girona in the league)..... One mumu was even racially abusing Umtiti

Forget those guys, attention should shift to Valencia, the guy came back to apologize in d dressing room claiming it was in the heat of the moment

It's fun actually though, but just like a word Mou used once in Spain (obsession) don't get obsessed with pep n man city...man utd is still the biggest club in Manchester, so fans know how to handle ur junior brother(it's a pity all juniors also grow to become seniors)
