He can only work with top players, and credit to him he is able to dominate with them. But without top players, he is flawed and often exposed. City has top players, its just really hard to play the way he want them to play. Note Barcelona is also struggling this year and they layed off the style a fair bit, its just really hard to play. Thats his problem to take care off though, he will have to figure it out. Also 10 million other things wrong here but been there, explained that cba anymore. | ||

Instead of beating Sevilla 3 or 4 to 0, after they wasted so much effort in Copa Del Rey, RM decided to play it "safe". | ||

Both teams played so bad, neither really deserved to win. The 2 Sevilla goals were almost gifted to them. | ||

No, I'm glad we lost. Now I hope that I will never see Real playing in this dreadful 5-3-2 formation again. Everytime I see a team playing with 5 defenders I hope they lose, it's something that I can't control. And of course Sevilla played bad... They gave everything in the Copa game 4 days ago. All Real had to do is to capitalize on that. | ||

Other than that just countered and look awful at back. First goal sums city up. Give ball away inside half, goal 1-0 down, trying to overplay Thanks. So quite typical City defending but this time it went along with a poor attacking performance. | ||

He can only work with top players, and credit to him he is able to dominate with them. But without top players, he is flawed and often exposed. Pep was good at enforcing a certain playstyle that worked well during his peak at Barcelona. But when it was somewhat figured out, or he didn't have the players to play that unique style of football, he's completely lost. City was his first test outside of his comfort zone because let's be fair any manager with half a brain could have won the Bundesliga with that squad and virtually no competition, and he's showing what's he's made of. I don't think he'll bow out just yet even if City drops out of top 4 this season. Hope he can come back with some good summer transfers because if he can make City into 50% of what he did to Barcelona, the next season will be very interesting indeed. | ||

I think one of the most prudent observations he made in an interview a while back was that sure hes won alot etc etc. But its not normal to win all the time. He knew what he had before and what he has now and he knows that there is a good chance it wont work here and people will say hes not that great. Being a good manager isnt about never failing which literally no manager in history has done, will do or should ever do. Hes not going to go anywhere, he has a contract for 3 years and he has a project that he wants to work on, if it takes a little longer it takes longer but im pretty sure he will see it through regardless of the results. Whether they keep him if a top 4 finish fails though is a different matter. So everytime people say shit like, well hes not really that good or "I dont rate him" the second he starts to lose it gives me a headache to read Its the same as with Messi and Ronaldo they get held to these inhumane standards and then when those arent met then all of a sudden there is no layering or grey. Thats where all the Messi only good cuz Xavi and Iniesta or other shit comes from also. Its all from the same place. Ignorance and people chomping at the bit for a hint of failure to simply discredit anything good someone they dont like has done. Its actually quite depressing. | ||

I told people Pep is not good while he was winning stuff. I get headaches from people like you who call him good for no reason at all :p | ||
