Is Pep a great coach? Of course.

What I will say though is that he has the perfect set up at Man City.

An owner(s) that doesn't interfere. He has his man Tixi from Barca as a Man City director who signs off on nearly anything and everything that he wants. That level of coaching ability, club cohesion and unlimited funds are rare. (Roman's old secretary is effectively running Chelsea and the squad is a mix of random players bought by several different managers. Liverpool don't have the money. Man Utd are a joke.)

No other coach in world football has it as good as Pep does (correct me on this if I'm wrong but I just don't see it). It took a super human effort from Liverpool to take a title off them which just shows how absurdly good they are over a 38 game season. But no European Cups with the most expensively assembled squad in the history of the sport is laughable.

He's terrible has no sense of danger and lacks concentration. And tbh Theo Hernandez is just a terrible defender as he is but because his pace gets him out of trouble some Milan fans think he's good. Theo is a walking brain fart. Theo defending consists of looking to fall over at the slightest bit of contact. I said get Theo to sign his contract and then sell him as soon as a good offer comes in. Some Milan got upset at that.

Kyle Walker the master of lacking concentration and relying on his pace too much is Paolo Maldini compared to this new generation of FB defending.



As soon as Chilwell's season ending injury was confirmed it was clear we were gonna get 5 weeks of shytty transfers reports. :mjlol:

Lucas Digne on loan with option to buy seems to be the early favourite for most sites.

Real didn't win for 30 years. Bayern went 26 years. Inter went over 40 years and spent vast amounts under Moratti to win it. Look at Juve 25 years sand counting. If you told me that the likes of Jose Ancelotti and Conte wouldn't even get Chelsea to a final but Avram Grant would and Di Matteo would win it. :dead: It's not as easy as you and others make it out too be.

@Kunty McPhuck you're talking about real European Cups when it was home and away knockout every round... Lol

Notice once the Champions League bullshyt came into play (97-98) we got a few frauds winning ahem Fergie.. This is why Fraudiola looks funny in the light...

Big up Tuchel and Klopp though.

Yeah it's not easy but he's only been past the QF stage once in 5 seasons.

That's an abysmal record.

You are can blame Pep for Lyon and Chelsea defeats for out Peppin himself. Monaco was a great team that was at the it's peak. Liverpool blitzed them. Spurs was down to VAR decision.

Some more context should be added to that Lyon game btw. But end result was that they lost. :manny:

Zidane and Di Matteo have the same amount of EC/CL as Michels Cruyff and Sacchi do.
