Guardiola does not adapt his style to the EPL, there really is no need to. But he does adapt it to the squad available to him. He did the same at Bayern. One can't expect the current ManCity squad to be able to pick up the dominant style of Guardiola's Bayern or Barca in a short time. When Guardiola went to Bayern they were already the best team in the world working like a well-oiled machine, so he had no major problems introducing his ideas peu à peu. And his concept was made for Barca players! It will take time at Manchester though. Moreover, Bayern under Guardiola were just so dominant that they hardly ever needed to show any kind of variation, still they could be highly entertaining against good opponents. | ||

However Alves literally just sat in and defended for 90 minutes vs Atletico which wasn't there speciality. No idea how they did that though vs Barca! - Alavés defended very well. - Lucho rotated too much (maybe he understimated Alavés) - National breaks affect Barcelona a lot, because south americans jet lag - Probably because that, it was the worst match of Mascherano I have seen. | ||

If Stones gets out of the way he catches the ball no problem. You totally fail to see the big picture. For us it might look like Stones just disregarded Bravo shouting, but for the trained professional it was clearly because Bravo isn't used to premiere league crosses and premiere league pressure. | ||

No no, you dont understand.. it was a simple catch. There was hardly any pressure from Stones despite the mixup (despite his rather large frame and the fact that Bravo called and was blind sided because he called) The real pressure in the Premier League is being able to speak English and yell loud enough so your defender can hear you. In seriousness though outside of the goal there were some clear communication issues but they will get ironed out im pretty sure. | ||

Still wtf was some of those decisions in that game appalling. How Swansea got 2 goals i have no idea and how we missed every shot after going 1-0 up made no sense. Shocking, oh well. | ||

I was out visiting the wall this weekend but what I have managed to see of the football looks truly exciting. Great week of Premier League action I would try and catch up with the other leagues but there will be Champions League games to wacth before I even get a chance too. Tonight is ASL time. Life is good. | ||

yeah 40 something pages in half a year is a joke compared to football threads. on the subject of payet, its weird how he has really stepped up his game since the last season but hes almost 30 now. what do you think was the catalyst for him suddenly becoming an a-class player? cases like him really make you question whether teams have to spend millions on the hottest 18 yr old. | ||
