They have the two best fullbacks in the world and arguably the best CM as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i cant remember the XI of Peps Barca and theyre lauded as one of the greatest sides of our time Theyre easier to remember...messi, suarez, villa, xavi, iniesta, busquests, pique, puyol, valdes, Pedro, Abidal. Couldn't name one of his Bayern or City teams though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 10 minutes ago, Geogaddi said: Pep only being a good manager because of the resources available to him is such a false lazy narrative. He has literally changed football in this country even at grassroots level. Ferguson gets all sorts of praise for bringing through that class of 92 or whatever it was called but that team Pep brought through at Barca was on another level to that . Not entirely....he got the resources because he was the best. It will be interesting to see what he can do when he doesnt have them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Guess the biggest knock against Pep is that he’s “only” won 3 CLs. Most influential manager since Cruyff imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more on the influence. If there's a question mark it's whether "Pep-ball" or that he had x-factor players won those Champions Leagues, but you still have to design the systems to facilitate those players and his teams have played some exhilarating football at times (albeit often facilitated by boring teams to death before turning it on) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 115 charges for me - City provided him the best players on the best wages by cheating. Give Eddie Haaland and he'd probably win the league.
