12months later no be 21yr old Pique and Yaya a midfielder playing as CB hold them scoreless in the final?

It was the midfield that held them not the defence. They were starve of the ball. The man city midfield shown can do no such thing.

popizaino:
I don't see Rodri and Stone winning a midfielder battle against Micheal Carrick,impossicant.

Make A-Forty no catch you oo.

Anyways, we agree to disagree.

A midfield led by Rori, Brnardo, KdB and Stones will stifle that Man Utd team easily

popizaino:
Bros i watched those ball keenly. I know everything that transpired. These things are right on my finger tips.

Under Rijkaard iniesta was played as a LWF, which Pep guardiola quickly identified and brought him to the midfield. Such change was key in defeating man united.

Pep guardiola also realised how dangerous man united are with the ball so the tactics was just to keep the ball from man united players as much as possible which Rijkaard didn't give in.

The man city side of pep can't keep the ball for 5 mins without losing it.The only side that might even try maybe the Bayern Munich side of 2015/2016 side.

I hated man united then and even till now but what i will never accept is to diminish their greatness and compared them to any team other than pep guardiola's Barcelona which is regarded as the greatest of all time team.

It took the greatest club side team of all time to bring those monster Ferguson had assembled down. Which in redtropect i am happy about for not being the team to win the UCL back to back.

That pep team will not defeat any premier league top side of 2008 to 2012,so how can they defeat man united?

So you are saying Pep tactics was the difference between Barcelona losing in 2008 an demolishing Man Utd in 2009

The same Pep Guardiola is the reason why no Fergson side can survive vs any Pep Guardiola side whether at Barcelona, Bayern or City

The beating was so brutal that Fergusn admitted that was the worst beating he ever got

Popi is clearly emphasising the importance of the resources at Pep's disposal when him dey Barca - them iniesta, Xavi etc.

If Pep is so omnipotent and omniscient like you are making him appear, how come he couldnt transform Bayern and City to become dominant like Barca 2009 - 2011?

Abi no be same Pep been sharply request for squad overhaul after finishing 3rd in the PL?

The same resources at Peps disposal were at Rijkaards disposal the season before when Ferguson eliminated Barcelona

Pep is so omnipotent and omniscient that he won 3 leagues in a row at Bayern and 4 leagues in a row at City. That is as dominant as you can get

When Pep got his overhaul at City you no see the shege wey una eye see?

If the club are serious, exclude him from the team for a long period. Let him completely heal. Give his spot to one of these upcoming.

Pep managed 2 other teams in the last 10 years.

10 years of coaching and we are yet to see him replicate anything remotely close to the Barca Magic.

Tells you a lot

Pep at City and Bayern are nowhere near 2009 - 2011 Barca...arguably the greatest team in the history of the game.

Bayern? The same Bayern that were getting sodomised in the CL every season such that Pep had to run away?

So much for dominance

raumdeuter:

That is what we are saying.

At Barca, he didnt need an overhaul per se.

When he got to the PL and his Ass was getting handed to him, he had to recalibrate and adjust to his realities and even in that regard, he never came close to his Barca achievements.

He surely wouldnt have enjoyed such kinda dominance if Sir Alex were to be UTD manager.

Abegggi how we take know say the guy good sef, make him get out!!

I have said it before, Infantino reeks of corruption everytime I look at him. He is moving mad with some of these ideas and they may ultimately lead to the breakup of FIFA.

Carot:
08 united v 23 city
Who is winning?

When you take into account that Ferguson was Pep's boy even as a rookie then this is not a contest. 9/10 times city of 23 beat Ferguson 08. A better comparison is this.

What did he win at Barcelona that he didn't replicate at City? Pep city was just as dominant as his Barcelona side especially when you consider how difficult English football is compared with Spain yet he broke all EPL records. No coach has dominated English football like Pep.

Enzo5:

I am just trolling sha ,lewandowski won’t join Chelsea ,you won’t even pay him what he wants and he already said Barca will be his last club in Europe

I am sure you are joking with the character and experience talk sha ,maybe you can say he is too old ,because he will be 38 soon

Rodri wants to join Real Madrid and it’s simple ,he loves Madrid ,I don’t get why journalist need to add Barca to fast track the deal

Even in laliga, a league most will agree is not more competitive than the EPL, Pep never went 4 in a row there. That's god tier dominance, unprecedented stuff.

Henderson and welbeck joining soon,still need a young midfielder.

Andrewbaba44 see as them dey disrespect your 2009-2012 Barca but because Pep is involved, you no talk anything

We are saying the same thing. Everything he won at Barcelona, he replicated at City. His greatest achievement at Barcelona was the Treble and he did that at City as well.
