sad

na over sabi go kill Pep Las Las

it's obvious that that Cigar he smoked affected him.
you had a formidable team that dislodged bvb and PSG why altering it?
Fernandinho kept a whole PSG at bay yet you decided to bench him.
of all people you are to start you didn't see Aguero, Jesus, Ferran to start it's Sterling of all people who is confused with football.
you played without sterling through the whole round 16 yet you decided to get him on finals.
his tactics yesterday made KDB and Foden useless.
Pep caused that defeat 100%
I'm a city fan but at this point I've lost hope in champions league.
it doesn't matter if we lift EPL every season
really doesn't matter anymore.
I've given football a break too
lolzzzzz, it normal for you to feel dejected, with time you will get over it..

And the windows of heaven were opened and I saw Pep lifting up a champions league trophy to the sky next season,I don’t know Pep before neither do I watch football but thus saith the Iord of host, this too will come to pass. There is a terrible curse on Pep and for it to be broken, he needs to donate 40% of his monthly salary to the Iord. This I have seen

Has Guardiola won the champions league without Xavi and Iniesta?

Just asking cos someone said on Twitter that Guardiola without Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, even with over £2billion is just an upgraded Mikael Arteta.


Arsenal signed the china version of Pep Guardiola grin grin grin grin

When Pep was at Bayern and Tuchel at Mainz, it was probably only Mainz that attacked Bayern while others went for damage control during the Bundesliga. Tho Tuchel lost both times, he earned Pep's respect and they met at a restaurant later on to discuss tactics.

Tuchel wanted the meeting at all costs and was set up by a mutual friend. The third party reported that of all questions, Tuchel chose to ask why Bayern's fullbacks tucked in midfield when they played Madrid..

Since then, Pep has never beaten Tuchel..

-The Athletic
dis is not a real idea cos of d meeting. All coaches meet to discuss football. So nobi today

Don't be rude to make your point. Did they not score and missed a penalty when they played 2 strikers against Chelsea in EPL? Have you read the news headline? "over thinking, guardiola's problem continues "

Headline from good for nothing pundits abi?
A bad day for pep, that's all. Chelsea were incredible. They've won the same city team thrice now, and every time instead of admitting TT has a tactical edge, people just want to make lame excuses.

From he didn't care about FA cup, to he was resting players for champions league, now, Aguero.
Did Aguero bring them this far? He made the best decision for his team, just like zidane and simeoe...this is football, you don't win it all. He is not God.

Everything fell in line for chelsea yesterday. And they needed that to win. City's worst mistake would be to sake pep. As a chelsea fan, it's ok if they sack him

any reasonable coach will play without a striker against chelsea because of how Chelsea defence line is set up. how do you think Aguero would have hurt chelsea when Chelsea doesn't give you the Chance to penetrate through the middle even. suarez and benzima no get chance to do that one if nor that set piece goal. chelsea is a dangerous team to play period

No vex ooo
Chelsea is a difficult team to play na em Arsenal beat them home and away ??

The photos below says it all.
Picture one was against Everton.
Picture two against Chelsea.

Guardiola shot himself and cost City the champions league. Why on earth will you play your key midfielder as a centre attacker. Who does that?

Pep is a good manager but has he ever managed a small team with average players?,He has always been fortunate to manage big teams with players of high quality,He inherited an already made team from Frank Rikjard at Barcelona,same with Bayern Munich and Manchester city. Until he turns an average team with average players to a winning team like other coaches before he can be regarded as the best tactician.

yes I said it...losing trophy takes nothing away from him because he won ur epl god fergie twice in this same UCL final n u guys in EPL are still rating Ferguson ahead of others in EPL...
pep lost n av learnt just like tuchel n klopp once lost a UCL final too before they won It..
pep is still d best currently n he would surely bounce bk or do u want to name any manager in d last 10 years dt have more wins, more goals n more trophies than pep??
any manager currently in europe dt av more trophies than pep??
m waiting bcoz ur tuchel jus got started n gat jus 10 trophies...so put some respect on pep's name bro....u dig??

I agree that Pep is a good coach.

But let’s face reality: if Chelsea had Iheanacho and Harry Kane in place of Werner and Pulisic, yesterday’s match would have ended in a 4-0 win for Chelsea.

In fact, the 1-0 score line flattered Guardiola

Lmao,it is only when things go wrong people start faulting your tactics. He has been playing without a striker for few games did it against PSG & BVB and he won, though I think he should have played a holding DM yesterday but whatever would happen would still happen.


Chelsea were just a better side yesterday. Nevertheless Pep remain who he still his

It is all easy to analyze on paper,but can't be subjected in reality.

I also think history has a part to play yesterday, cos no team has made it into the final has a debutant and won it before. Same with PSG of last year too.

there must be a winner and a loser, he tried his best and did what he thought was the best for the team.

People keep laying emphasis on , PEP not using holding midfielder and striker
Have they forgotten that
Tuchel met Guodiola 3 x this season
Did Pep also not use holding midfielder and striker too , was that why he lost all three ?
Within a spate of a month !!
Accept it, Tuchel had the code to beat Guodiola...
Go back to history
While Tuchel was still in Dortmund
Did Pep beat him

The moment I saw Fernandinho on that bench with the useless Sterling, and Mahrez as striking force, I just knew Pep came to joke around... The consequent result was quite fitting to the pathetic display that was to follow.

Pep just played into the hands of his harsh critics and detractors. Such a shame!!!
your post reeks of ignorance.
