Greatihex:
that was what i was expecting last season without knowing that i was overrating d fraud that calls himself city coach. I would like hm to prove my last two seasons rating of hm right. It wl be gud for epl.

Hey bro!
Is the fraud still overrated after setting a record no manager ever did in your league while topping the table at the moment by 11 points ahead of the most successful and revered manager of your club?
I'll like to read your submission bro.

Mourinho Masterclass!!

Funny thing is that his last title he won at Chelsea, he didn't have them playing so defensively in every big game.


Anyways me am just happy that most people that fought and almost killed me when i was complaining about Mourinho's defensive mentality last season have now seen the light this season.

Sorry bro, you guys should just give him an improved contract so that he can continue the good work

Blame Lukaku probably for his inability to score but certainly not for the assists made against his team. You should rather ask why a centre defender was the last man clearing ball in the box when he was supposed to be lurking around upfront/in front of the box for any counter or loose ball to pounce on.
Blame the coach for turning his striker to a defender.

We actually warned you guys then, but many were quick to remind us of the trophies he's won by the negative tactics.

tesppidd:
be careful what you wish for. why wish for chelsea when teams like porto, basel, shaktar are there for the taking. champions league nowadays nor be always who play pass, na who get luck pass. and when you win it nobody would remember how you won it, just win it.

The emboldened says it all!

jonsnow92:
Expose the Three Man defence trash once and for all..I just dont want this big headed Bayern Munich boys..On their day those guys can beat anybody.

You've actually got some valid points. However, my fear at this juncture is meeting a bus parking team like chelsea. Playing against an attacking team presents us with a 50-50 situation. I can't imagine playing against a team like Chelsea with a 3 man defence, 2 wing backs and 3 DMS in Yoko, Kante and Drinkwater, leaving only Hazard and Morata upfront to run the show especially with the uncertainties surrounding Dembele, Messi dropping deep to help our fragile midfield and Suarez a complete shadow of himself. Give me an attacking side anytime any day and let the better team triumph.

Suarez is poo though, while Deloufeu should be looking for another club!

When he gives them the final pass, they blow it. But when he's given the final pass, he scores. Mess has got to be somehow selfish if he must win any major trophy with his NT. He should learn to close his eyes to his mates when he's presented with a chance in the box rather than looking for a better placed mate only for them to squander the chance.

But......the Leo I know will never be selfish!

usbcable:
I weak for the guy.
The guy fit argue with Kim Jung Hun over Messi and Rinaldo matter.

ddippset:
lol. no vex.

Just free them jor!

An oldie like ddipset still arguing about Messi/Ronaldo at this time.

A40:
Since you observed that our views are divergent but we support the same team then what is the rationale in engaging in futile arguments about a manager who has left the club? Considering we both agree he didn't deliver on the primary reason he was hired

Nope, you claimed Pep ruined Jupp's work and left the club in shambles, therefore he's a fraud while Dayo holds a different opinion. You keep telling us not to believe any megedefege from anyone when you could have easily told Dayo to stop peddling us with such megedefege

raumdeuter:
We have our opinions about every issue and it doesnt have to be the same every time

Pep won everything except the CL at Bayern, But some said he failed. It wasnt like Bayern was winning the CL every season before Pep either.
Note the great Ferguson won the CL just twice in his entire career. Some clubs havent won it or played the final ever

He had some faults especially with results in CL big games vs Spanish teams but overall everyone involved with Bayern Management players believed we played better under Guardiola vs under Ancelotti

I got your point bro and I can't contest the fact that you guys have had different opinions on this thread. I am not praising nor blaming Pep here at all. I am just wondering why 40 would tell us not to believe whatever 'megedefege' anybody says about Pep as long as it differs from his opinion knowing fully you are the major defender of Pep here. Me thinks he should have just engaged you directly rather than telling us not to believe you.

I have enjoyed you guys debate on many issues here and I'd like to see you both disagreeing on this Pep issue while engaging each other.

I think those that always claim coaching a particular club is easy because of past successes can now see that it's not always easy as it seems.
Anybody can coach Barca - I am still waiting for another sextuple.
Anybody can coach Bayern - Carlo, one of the most revered coaches just got sacked.
What do I know self?

chic2pimp:
To be fair to A40, He was Pro Guardiola for about 2 and a bit seasons. He only went anti Pep right around the middle of His last season at Munich.

The only bone of contention I have with A40's line of arguement is the "FRAUDIOLA" bit. Why the complete switch? How is He a fraud?
It is okay to feel that He underachieved/felt to meet expectation at Bayern which whilst I don't agree with, I understand. However that does not make Him a Fraud.

Carlo is my favourite Coach currently and If someone called Him a Fraud, i'd take issues with that. It's okay to say He underachieved at Munich but abeg He is no fraud.

I have been following this thread for a while. Dayo and 40 have been the major drivers of the thread as core fans. They engage each other and submit their opinions. It's just surprising these days that, while Dayo has been telling us what and what Pep did right, 40 has been telling us not to believe whatever good anyone tells us about Pep knowing fully Dayo is directly involved. They keep avoiding each other on that issue while they discuss together other issues relating to the club.

There's nothing wrong in being a pro or anti, after all, I don't like anything called Mourinho, but that will never make me ridicule or under estimate his achievement over the years. You said he was pro Pep for like two years and now claimed he destroyed everything jupp did while Dayo claims otherwise. So, I'd like him and Dayo to slug it out rather that having them engage the outsiders.

Somethings are not adding up here really: Raumdeuter believed Pep did well at Bayern while A-40 believed otherwise. Since these two are the chairmen of this thread, why have they been avoiding engaging each other on this Pep discourse while quoting each other on any other issue?

I will really like to read the lines of arguments between these two Bayern fans and not opinions from outsiders

homesteady:
Asin enn!

Long May their woes continue.

It even becomes more pleasing having a manager who seems capable of managing the situation. We could have dropped at least seven points if it was last season.

Nothing could be more heartwarming, joyous, exhilarating, thrilling, enthralling, appealing, mind blowing,...... than the joy one gets seeing Madrid drop points

mcdreeezy:
It's really sad to be honest. We should be integrating the younger guys. When EV was newly appointed, there was so much talk about his love for youth. I just hope he'll be a significant progress on Luis Enrique in that aspect of integrating these younger guys.


Well, Busquets is 29. He still has like 4-5yrs to play at top level. I just hope we'll still have Samper by then or a much younger and equally good player that we won't have to break the bank for.


For Iniesta's role, that's even the more pressing need now. He's 33 now, we should be looking at getting a young starter for him from now and within the next 2yrs. Once Iniesta is 35, he'll likely move on from Barcelona just like Xavi. For me, Denis Suarez fits that profile. He'll only get better with more playing time.

Well said bro!
They let go of Thiago, Grimaldo, they didn't handle the development of Deulofue and D. Suarez well then, they kept sending Samper on loan. What about Halilovic? These are the guys we'd all thought would take the club to the next level. Can you remember when we played a champions league game with our team B guys and won convincingly? There can only be one Pep when it comes to youth integration!

mcdreeezy:
Sergio Busquets was 20yrs old in 2008 when Pep started playing him in the first team regularly. [b]But we're still loaning Sergi Samper out at 22 [/b]and buying 29yr old Paulinho for €40M and Arda Turan for 30-something million pounds.


No plan for continuity.

This was what got me disgusted about Lucho, I felt he should have handled the guy better.

ddippset:
Pray for Luis Suarez to step up and rediscover his best form, Pray for Nelson Semedo and Osmanne Dembele to completely live up to the hype, Pray for Andreas Iniesta to spend more time on the pitch than in the treatment room, Pray for Ernest Velvede to have sense that Luis Enrique lacked in his final season in terms of knowing when to rotate and when not to rotate. After all these we might have a chance.

Pray that Pique and Titi would stay safe and free of injury because there's no back up for them, pray that Alba and Stegen would always remember the club they are praying for, pray the Messi would not miss any match to injury.
You see, we have to pray for everyone. We are in a very serious case.

Doesn't the coach too have any player in mind? Even if it means he will bring his boys from his ex club. Which kind wahala be this nau

ddippset:
lol. one day we shall have MMM. and that day would be my last as a fan.

Habah!
We once had Bojan Messi and Giovani leading our attack against Madrid. Meah! Messi suffered that day oooooo. I could remember Eto or Deco intentionally picking up a needless yellow card in order to miss that match

Skimpledawg:
See as u stress yasef from ya thread to here just to make sure air.mark got his mail


You will make a good delivery homie

cc griffon and diggz...

For where, abeg man no get strength.

diggz:
No mind sebod hin dey use style dey find employment

Tah! I no get that kind strength abeg

diggz:
Airmark you have a mail please kindly attend to your mail. Thanks

I just dey look this your delivery company with one eye. How can you be the H.R manager and still be running up and down delivery mail on tricycle?

I wouldn't mind Mahrez though, he will be a good back up to Messi.

airmark:
One season of loss of form by a dm, can be survived when there are good back ups. A season of disappointing show by your big-signing striker, can get your team into the gutters, especially with no excellent back up. The two are not the same.

As regards morata, i know he would become good over the years in chelsea, what i want is a striker that will hit the ground running, [/b]replace costa in the art of goal-scoring, this season, not the next. [b]My point on morata was well spelt-out, i watched him and know the system that would suit his style perfectly.

Chelsea are still looking for another striker to sign, they are not mad.

The same way you watched your perfect DM and knew all he needed to become the greatest.
Let me just allow you rest, just pray Morata too does not disappoint you this season by hitting the ground running, otherwise, I will personally crave the indulgence of all Shekpites to flog you openly

airmark:
All my posts were based on his form that [/b]time. Just as no one thought hazard could be a shadow of himself penultimate season after being the best player in epl in 2014/2015, i [b]never thought krychowiak could lose form after joining psg.

This has nothing to do with any L. Comparing him with busquets, laliga board confirmed my position as he displaced busquets in the team of the season. The matic most of us criticised his game last season, is now a cornerstone of man utd's title challenge. So, slow your roll bro.

You never thought, you never thought! But you have always thought all he needed was a move to a top club.
Same way you have always thought Morata would not make it with Chelsea and if he eventually makes it, you will come back to tell us you never thought he could do better.
Don't always be too sure next time to avoid this ' I never thought' bro.

airmark:
Nothing biggie, it's a loan deal bros. It happens sometimes. Lass fell from chelsea to arsenal, subsequently crashed into portsmouth, before flying with madrid.

Life drama.

But you never told us there's a life drama when you kept shoving the guy down our throats. You told us all he needed was to move to a top club playing UCL. He yielded to your advice only for his seat belt to be made stronger than that of Mikel even by the same coach he played under then.
You can come back to claim your 'W' after bouncing back to show he's the best you once claimed he was or moving to Madrid/Barrca/Bayern/United like Diarra.. But as at today, gently take your 'L' without trying to put up any defence sir.

raumdeuter:
Krychowiak don find his level at West Brom. best DM according to airmark

It's safe to say Airmark literally killed the guy's career. He wanted him to play CL games with a top club to show how good he is. He was taken to a top club playing regularly in the UCL only for our guy to be warming bench.
He still has the chance to become the best DM in EPL sha

Greatihex:
with what is happening at city, i think he would advice himself beta.

You never can tell bro, City might shock you guys by becoming a force to reckon with soonest

VivaLaByke:
Is Krychowiak really about to sign for West Brom on loan?

I honestly don't know anything about this guy. But, I know someone who has been monitoring his career from his days as the best DM in La liga. May I refer you to him
Airmark! Your attention is needed sir.

donjazet:
The fraud needs to be exposed.

diggz:
Yes....bcuz we have been told several lies about pep

Yet, if he's available today, your baba olowo would stick sack Conte if he's assured of the 'fraud' signature
