Blackheritage: you make me laugh...who in d world can say Morihno is 2nd to him...during his 4yrs reign at barca, morinho and his boys both at millan, Chelsea and Madrid dented 2. So what are u talking about Even his two yrs successful reign is accorded with controversy winning... " 2010 semi final" with Chelsea..

teskyg: Pls,point of correction.Pep has not won any cle3 trouphy.Uefa awareded hom trouphies.We need him to replicate 20 percent of his third part acievement in another league before we will ranked him amoung succesful coaches.

snowdrops: Even in the seasons you referred to they were top of la liga for much of it. It was bickering that killed their title dreams. Remember they won la liga, champions league, supa cup, etc just before that. And yes, they were already made; the main guys in Peps team were Rijkaards signing

Johnsinia: Someone wud argue,what of sir alex farguson who ve stayd in(one club) utd 4 many yrs?isn't he dsame wit pep who ve only stayd few yrs in barcell n ve won 13 trophies.
The answer is- No,they are nt dsame.saf achievemt in man utd n pep achievemt in barcell are different.saf work very hard 4 his records n den proof himself as d best n most achieved manager ever in d world while pep work little or nothing for his records in barcell.OK,let me prove my point; saf came 2 united wen liverpool was d dominate team in Epl.man utd was in their shadow den wit little trophies 2 their possessions.the managemt of man utd were lukin 4 a manager who culd atleast challenged liverpool 4 their overdominance in Epl,what a huge task.A good manager pick up hard challenges n nt tryin to run away frm them,saf took d challange n even increase his task by promising 2 dethrone liverpool.Due 2 d calibre of players(average players) he had as at that time he find it difficult for 5 trophless seasons bt he continue 2 work harder 2 build d team.
Today he ve nt only dethrone liverpool but ve overtakem them.saf is d reason why man utd is man utd today.
Back 2 pep guadiola.pep inherit an already made team wit super stars like messi,inesta,xavi,puyol,eto n alot more who ve won the champions league n laliga tittle with former manager frank.barca ve been known 4 their tick tak game long b4 pep came.just as mourinho said "any manager wuld won the same with the type of players availlable to pep".
If u argue dat pep is the best coach,then,can u freely say dat pep is d reason barcell is barcell today-No,rather pep just join d already existin thread bt one can freely say dat saf is d reason man utd is man utd today likewise arsene wenger is d reason arsenal is arsenal today also mourinho is d reason madrid is stepin up in their game n are challangin barcell real hard unlike b4 he came 2 madrid where barcell is completely dominating them.

Who told u Guardiola invented dat style of play. He copied d best coach of this decade, ARSENE WENGER. He plagiarised d most entertaining team in d world, ARSENAL. He should be punished.

Olalekan 0: Pep needs to prove himself at a mid-table team before he can be rightly judged "one of the best thinkers" as even chairman christian chukwu would win trophies in that star-studded barca side.

Temistatics 007: what are you saying,i hope you meant mourinho copied SAF,not SAF copying JM,even if u can't figure that out,remember,JM's PORTO WON SAF's MU,therefore,it was Jm that copied SAF not otherwise,ok?

dabrake: even amodu shuaibu can do that convincingly

Reference: Theoretically, there should be a craving for Plan B..
Empirically, you have a formular that has worked for you 98/100.
When it keeps working, you are praised. When it doesn't work those 2/100, it is because there is no plan B??
I will still praise him. To be intelligent enough to create a pattern of play also means you know it needs modification when it starts failing..and this is now his real test of creativity.
And again, if you have a good plan but those excuting it are failing..does it mean plan is bad?? In the last 2 matches, you have lots of strikers missing sitters. Meaning the plan was still working!
I remember when Jose Murinho lost the match against Barca early season, was he not called all sort of names that rumor has it that he was on way out? He now rose up after and now secures wins and he's now angel.
Somehow, I still have confidence in Pep and he will learn from the mistakes.

Said it quite a while ago. I seriously doubt Pep's tactical ability for two reasons. One, there is never a plan B. It is always about player power, throw players in and hope they can outposses the opposition. When the end goal doesn't come the chap is appears always lost.

This causes the second problem, the team and by extension the teamwork is increasingly built around Messi. He is taking far too much importance than an experienced manager should permit. This is strategically dangerous. We know that the powers of Andres and Xavi are on the wane due to age and injury. This does not however mean Messi should play 8, 9 and 10 at the same time. Poor coaching.

This has led to the third and obvious result, Messi is burnt. At 24 he's played far too many games at such high intensity that if Pep cannot reform the situation he might just go the way of Patrick Kluivert. Messi needs a rest, the team needs a rest. Success has its limits and penalties.

elampiro: .
Read the post very well...where did I mention that Alex Ferguson has ONLY coached Man United?
The point is clear-with the successes he's achieving at Man United(far bigger than Aberdeen), he needed not leave for vacant positions elsewhere to prove himself even though Jose Murinho won the League with Porto and also came to England to win.
He need not copy Murinho. Simple. Same way Pep need not copy Murinho!
It is more respectful if you stay and rebuild a team than leave for another club to assemble establsihed stars!
Point of correction: Sir Alex Ferguson created grade records as coach of Aberdeen bewfore signing for Man United. Aberdeen was an unknown team and hadn't won anything for decades before Ferguson got there. When he arrived he pushed the traditional leaders, Celtic and Rangers to the background and rule the league for year and also won European title for Aberdeen before joining Man United. He is a genius!
