People said those defenders are the reason Pep is doing fine and not because of his tactics and game plan

raumdeuter:
No people actually listed him as part of the quality players in City that made Peps squad superior

raumdeuter:
This is the quality defender John Stones they told us about

atheist5:
conte has this issues
.bad man management
.lack of tactical flexibility.

The moment Bristol didn't pack the bus like Man U, I knew something was up. Does guys showed Man U class

GloryIsaac:
Oh well, makes it easier to focus on more important competitions.

Nihilist:
Pogba + Lukaku alone cost more than Bristol City as an institution, and the fans are not even bothering to watch the game cos they cant trust the manager to entertain...

Smh

Leyqute:
Rashford especially has been lackadaisical. He only wants to get into position and score. He's just useless

Eruditor:
What hogwash are you talking about?

Your link showed 2006/07. If you have their ranking for 2008 bring it that is the level that Pep took Barca from.

Show us how that Barca team would be top 5 when United, CFC, RM, Bayern, Liverpool, Intermilan, AC Milan even Villarreal that finished above Barca in the league.


Just like Leeds that made a UCL semi final too and got relegated 2/3 years after. If you want to see if a team is on the up, you look at their antecedents. City went from 1st (beating most of the top teams) 2nd (iffy performances) 4th (could not beat any of them).

So hold unto UCL Semi final. Just like CFC holding unto their own after finishing 6th in the league. When that team was clearly aged and declining.

Eruditor:
That is 2006/07 after they won the UCL and league in 05/06. Pep took over 2008/09. Try another story.

A team that finished 1st, 2nd and 4th (tied with 5th placed team) is on decline in any world.

That was the team he inherited in City.

Wipe the egg off your face.

Eruditor:
LOL.

Juve had been in Serie A finishing 7th 2 times before Conte. Conte is a good coach but please....please....

Juve won the league last, 5 years before Conte.

Barca were 3rd in Spain behind RM and Villareal. They were 18 points behind RM. They crashed out of the UCL semis to United. They had won nothing in 2 years.

If this team above is top 5 in the world, then Monaco is top 3 in the world.


Arsenal invicibles cannot be compared to that Conte's Juve. One team was imperial and elegant, the other was mechanical and brutish. That is why nobody talks about Conte's Juve till date.

City finished 4th before Pep came.

Use whip cream to eat your humble pie.

Eruditor:
Monaco beat United in 95 and got to a UCL semis when Wenger coached them. They won the league too.

Monaco played a final against Mou's Porto and lost.

Monaco got to the semis again last season.

Tell us what Galatasaray have done in the UCL.

raumdeuter:
Being eliminated by Monaco who made the CL semi final vs Being eliminated by Galatasaray which one worse

Eruditor:
Conte is a good coach but he has seniors. Every other thing you said here is hot garbage.

Conte took over a Juve team that had finished 7th twice before he came. They were not a relegated team. Not even close.

He is a pragmatic defensive coach which is why Mou kept throwing shade that CFC should not be celebrating him for winning defensively when he, Mou, was criticised for doing same.

Conte was known for packing draws. His first league season was heavily dependent on drawing games whereas Pep is known for crushing opposing teams.

Since Conte left Juve, they have faired better. Same cannot be said about Barca.

The pressure in Barca is the most- making it the most difficult job in the world because you must win by playing exquisitely. It is for this reason Mou was not hired when he begged for the job in 08.

City team best placed?

raumdeuter:
Shebi Barcelona had the academy before and after Guardiola,

Conte in the CL is getting eliminated by Galatasaray thats several shades of embarassing

raumdeuter:
When Chelsea was at the top of the league, So they had the best players in the league

raumdeuter:
Was it not money they spent on these player? You were the one complaining that City, spent money yet you cant tell us how much Chelsea spent on those players
