Well. Whole Chelsea defence were very very good. Mendy didn't have to make many saves

Were there some stats floating around on how Guardiola has horrible stats (by his standards) when facing 3 CB formations? I think there was some talk about it before the Lyon game last season and now Chelsea seems to find plenty of success with back 3 too.

That could be true, although from memory some of those occasions have also been peak Pep overthinking and making disastrous tweaks. Lyon notably where I think he mirrored their formation and neutered his own team. Plus to a degree I suppose not all that many teams deploy that way, so a few bad results and your overall stats are looking pretty poor.

Whatever Tuchel is doing seems to consistently cause City issues and does feel a bit different from other sides. I’d imagine there’s more subtle tweaks and it’s not as simple as just playing 3 at the back.

I’d be interested to see what Tuchel does going forward, I don’t think this is even how he wants to play, but the best mode of play he could devise for the squad he inherited.

And people still describe Pep as a genius. What the actual fuck

He still is one of the top coaching minds out there, sometimes to his detriment. Some of his quirky theorycrafting clearly backfires, although I’d love to hear the rationale that underpins his plans for some of these games. I’m sure they made sense on paper, like that weird build you see pulled out in a GSL match that fails miserably.

It’s an interesting element of modern elite football, coaches aren’t just drilling their teams into certain ways of playing, but there’s all sorts of scheme and counter-scheme for one off games involving the top dogs.

I feel that with regards to Pep. He's definitely brilliant but sometimes it's like he outplays himself

Hey it keeps it fun for us neutrals, if City converted their consistent status as one of Europe’s best to more good CL runs I’d be much more sick of them than I already am. Plus his tactical experiments are interesting, like Cancelo being half full back/half centre midfielder or his continued project to not play with a centre forward.

I don't think Porch is unloyal type of coach. He stayed with Spurs a long time. If it becomes a pattern I would think about it being a problem.
But who knows why he want to leave, maybe his family hates it there or there are problems inside the club.

Could be any number of things really, he might well stick it out. Could be friction with those upstairs, certainly was an issue with Tuchel there anyway.

Pep has a decade of being the best high budget team builder in the world and that's not ruined by not playing Fernandinho. :p

Havertz reminds me more of Kaka, just taller. Was really impressed in the final. His passes are superb.
