They put the foot on the gas for three seconds and get one
That's exactly what I thought.
They were passing really slowly before it was absolutely boring but since they took that goal, the passing is more dynamic and the movement is quicker.

Cross into the box knocked down by target man into the path of an onrushing midfielder is pretty much the antithesis of Guardiola football.
Nah breh, Guardiola's Bayern crosses "a lot" (for a Pep side I mean). It's definitely not unusual to see a play like that.

Iniesta's wonderful pass (haters I see you) to Neymar with the equalizer.
Barça 1-1 Atletico

He can't beat it out of them, they weren't tiki-taka merchants their entire careers after all.

Yeah it's clear that that short passing football is not in their DNA I agree. That's why their tiki-taka feel inferior to Barça's. But it's only been 8 months that Guardiola so maybe next year they will be crispier...

Deigo goal -

Overrated by who doe? All I ever see about him is that he's overrated when the reality is, he's a pretty good attacking mid that no one, not even his own managers, mistake for anything more.
Jonathan Wilson mainly :russ:

He got rave reviews for completeing 2000 passes against a 10 man Arsenal team a month ago as well. Now being hailed as Moyes/Man Utd's saviour in every paper.
