Ref didn't see it....Will get a ban though as the FA can take action as long as the Ref doesn't write he saw it in the match report.

Guardiola has never been tested outside Barcelona either. There are very few managers who have repeated impressive things at more than one club.
Van Gaal is the only one who comes to my mind at once.


Managers like Van Gaal and Mourinho also implode the clubs around the time they leave them. 5 hour energy managers.

oh yeah Bayern Munich imploded horribly, 2 CL finals in five years, playstyle which rivals barcelona's like no one else's, heynkes did a good job, but the basis was all done by van gaal

he is a horrible person, but a genius coach, his only fail has been holland so far but he is on a good way to fix that

I was being sarcastic and it was pretty obvious exaggeration, not all of Mourinhos clubs implode either.


Van Gaal is a horrible person and a stubborn cunt of a manager.

2 CL finals and 0 wins. Waddup.. Atleast Mourinho wins shit. Van Gaal doctors domestic wins and then proceeds to make everyone hate him, while reducing his teams to tactical and mental shambles.

A coach that will never be welcome at the club he was at before is not a "great" coach, doesnt matter how much you win or how smart you are.

Energy drink managers.

Yeah I don't actually think Guardiola is a tactical genius actually. I just was using the fact that people *think* he is.

Yeah I don't actually think Guardiola is a tactical genius actually. I just was using the fact that people *think* he is.

He's impressively innovative though. He tried tons of different systems that would work with a basis in the Barcelona philosophy, and found some really impressive ones, and the way they line up the same way under Vilanova every game is basically just the one Guardiola found that turned out to have the most longevity and general applicability.

And that's why I'm like, I'll believe it when I see it with Vilanova in knockout games against the best other teams. They basically know what to prepare for exactly, and who knows how well he can come up with a response to that, without just being like, players you have to be more brilliant? Also I have a negative bias toward it because it's way more boring. Celtic should have been a wake up call, dunno if it will be.

Also I don't think Rodgers is necessarily doing horribly at Liverpool, they've been looking good recently, one loss (where they weren't really outplayed but just made bad defending at wrong moments) isn't suddenly back to doom. It's hard to tell really, depending on whether you discount horrible form starting out the year as a one time getting used to stuff thing, or you don't. The rest of the season will be illuminating.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Huub Stevens has been sacked (Schalke 04), he just got 2 points over the last 6 Bundesliga matches and within this period Schalke went from 2nd to 7th, that was apparently enough for the management.
But does it djent?

I think Schalke's management is just horrible. Stevens may not be a coach you win a CL-title with, but as far as I can remember he has had success nearly everywhere he was a coach (Schalke at his first stay, Cologne, Berlin in his first year --- and all germans now about the mismanagement there, that management would fire anyone with decent success, just that the management has unrealistic expectations what success means: Favre, Babbel ---, Hamburg, Salzburg). And so far his second stay in Schalke has been really succesful again: CL Ro16 and 3rd place last year in Bundesliga. If one bad streak is enough for them, I just think they are wrong. The team is probably just not as good as they think it is. Ah well, that is probably good for Mönchengladbach :-)
