Man city thread or Gunners thread?

Pls y'all should stop the pep talk about pep!!


Saw what Poch did vs Chelsea. Chelsea are clueless no doubt. Very very!

Porch killed SarriBall's Triangular tactics and they became limp so fast.


I hope Emery knows how to kill Poch this time. That tactic of Poch, I cut cap for him. was so so effective Mehn. very effective that even Hazard was useless, and only a Giroud could come on and do what a Willian couldn't do atall.


If City jam Spurs, I think the look perfect to allow Liverpool top the EPL.

Spurs/Poch are masters at thwarting other teams tactics and then countering against them.

Emery as far as I know too is very good at setting out a team in relation to his kind of opponent. We all saw it Vs Liverpool.

The NLD is going to be very tactical and interesting.

Any foreign news channel on nigcomsat?

Which mentality? quality depth in squad and Pep can have different players for diff competition.
It isn't the same for others, when the season starts to give players fatigue, pep introduced Bernardo from his squad and both another 50M defender. how many can afford this?
Leicester happens once in a life time,Conte had the advantage of not playing in Europe.

Mancini,pellegrini all won,so what's special?

Moyes was Europa at best,he never got to top 4, poch's played more in Europe.

Poch has proved himself to be a top class manager,the likes of Madrid were after him,either he wins or not wouldn't change Jack,those who understands footy knows this.
Klopp may win or not,but deep down good pundits would rate him.

The only thing I respect about pep,is his ability to retain that player style wherever he is

History will not remember Pochentino unless he wins something.

Fkhalifa:
There's no coach that will set out his team not to win any possible trophy, no matter how you tell or strive to win, you wouldn't win jack if you won't.. Everyone cannot win the league in the same year, honest assessment of teams performance will give sincere rating of the manager

It takes a different mentality to win trophies than play good football.

Why I rate Pep is because he won the title with ease just as we all expected him to. Some other managers would have the same team and wouldn't win.

Moyes had the chance to spend at United and save his life but couldn't. Himself to blame.

Klopp has spent big this season, let see if he can win anything.

Pochentino has built a formidable side overtime. Can he win something?

If Pochentino wins this season, he gets rated. Until they win, they remain behind Pep.

sod09:
how can you guys say you can't rate a coach base in trophies,this was the stupid mentality wengay put in our heads.
No wonder we can't compete for anything,imagine yourself as a coach and you telling your players play good football I don't mind trophies.
No wonder arsenal and spurs have same thing in common, bottle up a strong position.
No wonder someone was having orgasm on Napoli that will go trophy less.

As useless as Wenger was he still won FA cup. Pochentino is yet to win a spoon. As for Klopp, it is wait and see.

krattoss:
So like this pool and city has entered December with unbeaten run. Pray Chelsea joins tthem.

Most competitive league in the world

Trust English refs to use their 419 methods to end the unbeaten run when they come against the likes of Watford or Wolves.

Mean while...
The BLUES are still unbeaten.

raumdeuter:
How did City become a better squad? Before Guardiola did you rate Sane Sterling Stones, Jesus, Bernardo, Laporte Danilo, Ederson Walker as the best in Europe?

Guardiola worked on them suddenly they became the better squad.

Your point here is very valid.

BlueRayDick:
I guess what people never envisaged was that pep was going to get the right set of players that will play tiki taka just the way he wants it while maintaining a physical presence in games which epl is known for. It doesn't even look like de bruyne is out injured.

Wenger played tiki take, but couldn't dominate with it. He did win a title though.

Cc Raumdueter

Pep didn't win a treble. You can't call last season dominance.

They're jokers. I know igbos to be very industrious, but this bright is a fake man

Hope the jollof rice on 52e still set?

In this modern times, SAF would not have lasted beyond his third season. He'd have been given the boot.

How?

monerozi5590:
How much did Renieri spend to win the League?

Pochettino CV is naked. No single title.

He doesn't get the sticks someone like Wenger got even though Wenger won a lot.

Do you think he is overrated?

Fkhalifa:
This is what I feel also, our defense isn't great nor bad just okay and manageable,
We are lacking wingers or playmakers with ability on the ball, we need that man who will take on a defender and beat his man like an hazard or sterling, we were just passing sideways and backwards..
Also For the umpteenth time Auba at the wings have been extremely poor,it can't and won't work, I even doubt Auba/laca in a front 2, our middle will be dominated and they will both disappear and may not shoot on or off Target the entire game.

Iwobi also has been poor on the the right wing he's either an AM or LW..

We missed welbeck's airel presence later on in the game, he's our only striker that scores with the head,all our crosses were wasted.

Kola if doesn't impress by end of season should be sold and get a new lb

We were again bullied, our oppositions always seem to be stronger and fitter than us.

Emery should take note.

Iwobi is not a winger, but he is the best we have for now.

With the Arab Money at City

In the past, managers had to build their own teams from scratch. That is why I have huge regards for Sir Alex Ferguson. In this modern times, it is a big task.

Afolabi6046:
Guardiola was rebuilding an old team so it's logical they need to buy a lot, look at the present back four plus GK, he bought all of them, you don't except him to buy just 4 players after sending the oldies packing na. But with the huge amount of players he bought, baba still bought wisely. They bought Gundogan for just 20M, do you know how much we spent on Yoko?

How many managers have the opportunity to change their entire defence?

Playing field is not level.

OVA200:
Only a quack football analyst or a dull football fan will judge pochettino

He hasn't won anything.

OVA200:
Pep have spend more than every manager in the world since his arrival at etihad but its a money well spent.

That's my point. Managers like Pochentino shouldn't be judged then.

sod09:
He spent almost same as guardiola

Yes na he is rubbish kwa...

Still oozing lifelessness

Liverpool nko

Wetin Klopp don win?

sod09:
dont mind those idiots,instead of them to learn from Neville woes at Valencia.
I'm glad th14 is getting what he deserves,as for merson,Scholes and Carragher no body take them serious

Scholes criticise players not managers.

raumdeuter:
This is all the matters. Other coaches were spending money. Chelsea spent almost 300M last season alone to finish 5th

Pep has spent more than others except off course Mr Fraud... Jose

raumdeuter:
When we say Pep go teach them ball for EPL hensben dey shout spy360 dey make noise, ibime dey compose poem

All of you should tender an apology

Is it after spending $800m or before?

Pep is the best, don't make me start an unnecessary argument.

Nketiah on the bench. Time to step up.

Dortmund Vs Bayern was ferocious.

When I see Serge Gnabry for Bayern, I wonder what could have been. Whoever was responsible for his transfer should be arrested and jailed for misappropriation of resources, while those who signed him for 419.

Auba player of the month.
EPL is poor abeg

Instead of abusing her, why not go and marry her. At least, it will save some space here...

And we will all thank you for it.

Roland17:
You stopped reading and that is why you missed the emboldened.

daveP:
starting those four guys has never given good results for Emery. He should stop the quartet from being on the pitch the same time.

Torreira was try the MOTM, but I'm also wondering the kind of influence Guendozi would have given these Liverpool defenders with his long passes had he been available.

Sometimes I don't understand the Welbeck intro cos it amazes me.


Auba shouldn't allow this to ruin the fire inside him, but Emery too should pls and pls treat this guy right for God's sake.


He can't dribble well on that flank and he is a speedster, why can he allow this guy come on in the second half to run down defenders and earn a PK or two?

Captain Fantastic is still recovering cos I'm tired of conversing stupid goals. 14conceeded. 9by Cech and many still want him to comeback and keep? Abeg!!!


Xhaka seems to be the real captain. Seems he learnt well From Koscielny. Ozil doesn't look like the one that would bark orders or control his teammates. Enough of giving him. Even Ramsey fits than Ozil.


If only Torreira has chosen a low shot and Bellerin that does L2 before has L2'd that shot well, we won't be in this draw position.


Overall, Good for shocking the Klopp!!

Wenger really dented the image of this club and it's affecting.

Ozil is a spoilt brat. He needs the armband to do well in big matches. So let him have it. I also hear he inspires in the dressing room, but that's by the way.

Leno ahead of Cech for me. Dude can play as well as keep. He is very good in aerial balls. With time he will learn to avoid mistakes.

Torriera makes Ozil and every other person play well. Enough said.

Xhaka is a natural leader. His improvement under Emery is amazing.

As for Wenger, let the old dog rest.

Roland17:
Baba you don hear about Wenger to Milan talks? What are your thoughts?

I have great respect for A Wenger, though he may have become stale after many years at Arsenal, I believe these six months away from management must have helped him to revive his football acumen. He will do well at AC if the deal pulls through. It will be nice also to see him return to a top club.
