(I don't think it's vulnerable to chelsea style park the bus, that impression is just caused by high profile games and variance, imo.  )And indeed Guardiola has a record of 5 wins 7 losses (2 draws) against klopp teams - and this while managing teams that had superior squads. *(possible exception for starting 11 this season, but this season city has 1 win 1 draw anyway. )I mean I agree that the sample size is too small to conclude anything. That is just cause Klopp > Pep, Pellegrini, everyone else  And I think you are absolutely right. Possession game ruled for over 10 years until this fast counterpressure style became popular (some 4 years ago I guess?) Just look at Barca and Munich or Spanish and German nationalteams from 2002 - 2014 EDIT: I did not look up stats, this is just from the top of my head  | ||

I reckon there is a certain guy upfront that could pontentially be considered the mvp of the team some yards ahead of even the mighty ter stegen no? | ||

At that time I actually thought only of the defense. But when I think about it Ter Stegen definitely plays as vital a role as Messi does. Messi could score 2 goals every game but what use would that have if they conceded 3+ goals every game? Messi definitely isnt hardcarrying Barca alone, Ter Stegen is definitely very important too | ||

Pretty sure he meant the defending part of Barca IMO De Gea just showed us why Ter Stegen is the best Goalie in the world right now | ||

Those strengths are probably also speaking for the roles in the teams. Atletico needs those saves whereas Barca (still, I guess) likes their possession. | ||

Oh well, we are second english side to 100 goals this season and just broke the Europa League record so it isn't all that bad, we were never losing that game but it was sure as hell crap performance. | ||

As a United fan I have a brilliant idea, Chlesea finish 6th and wins Europa, Spurs finish 5th and wins CL, Arsenal finish 3rd and 4th respectively. Everyone wins | ||
