No sir, this is not a valid argument. Pep is a fantastic coach though him not having a UCL with city is a big stain but saying he’s overrated just doesn’t make sense . The said good players he has today, were they gifted to him? Who tied other managers’ hands from buying good players they can work with?
What makes a good manager is knowing who to buy, who to sell, when to buy/sell and knowing how to tactically use your purchases. Lampard’s first stints in Chelsea is a typical example of money miss road; he had keen eyes and went for good players but unfortunately for him, Tuchel, his successor put them into better use than him.
The good players you see at City today didn’t fall from the sky. So it’s very wrong, ridiculous and annoying to say this guy is overrated because of the players surrounding him

Actually, they might not.

The reason I love Guardiola is that he knows what he wants and he goes for it. He builds his team to play what he wants. Like Ederson, we all know he is just an average keeper but very good with his feet, which is what Guardiola likes.
Those guys you mentioned might not even perform well under Guardiola.

Overall, Guardiola is a very good manager and I don't believe he is overrated. He is currently the best in the world for me.

Give all those players you mentioned to Ole, Mourinho, and LVG, up to Moyes, they would have still performed below par in Man United...!

It's not all about spending big and buying players... It's about the unique ability to bring out the beast in them!

I can tell you for free that Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Angel Di Maria, Lukaku, etc, would have soared higher under Guardiola!

Hell, Antony and Sancho would be delivering far better than what you are seeing under Pep Guardiola!

There are coaches... And there is Pep Guardiola!!! Give the man his Guard of Honor!!!

Veezy4u:
u don't get d point I made there. Everybody buys even stingy arsenal. But the entire city eleven was bought all by pep. This is what we'll call pep preferred players. All XI . U can't compare with united. D entire XI is from different coaches. U don't expect ten hagg to perform miracles moreover little or none can walk into d city team

Don't mind those midgets, guardiola is about to win treble with average players from nowhere


Abi who sabi Alvarez, ake akanji, foden, dias, before they came to city

Even those popular ones weren't soaring higher in their previous clubs, walker wasnt this good in Tottenham, we all saw what Bernardo played in worldcup



None of his current squad has lifted ucl, so no world class or big name players compare to teams like man u and Chelsea




Now that guardiola has made them good, they are wailing

amoreobansu:


Reminder: Guardiola and Klopp.

Klopp have won everything there to be won in England. And with a far far lower budget than what Guardiola have spent. Guardiola have shortages of Three (3) trophies still.
UCL, Supercup and Fifa Club World cup.

Klopp have since 2019 won all of them.

Veezy4u:
five too much mention just three players he met. At United degea was brought by SAF, at Chelsea azplicueta is still there, at arsenal xhaka still there, Liverpool Henderson at spurs Hugo Lloris.... etc

hkidola00:

I was reading comments as a Guest and I saw this and I had to login to answer you.
Since you claim to know City, Micah Richard left before Pep came, Pep never met Kolo Toure, Kolarov was given a year extension but he declined insisting he wanted a move to Roma, Pep never met Bellamy at City, neither Pandev( I can't even remember any City ex player with this name) nor Lesccot who left City in 2014, Nasri has on several occasions said that he was the one that wanted to leave because Pep wanted him to play.
Yaya case was very simple, he was never flexible enough to Pep right from his days in Barça.
Gareth Barry left in 2013/2014. Hart was okay with been a shot stopper but Pep wanted more which Hart couldn't offer. Clichy played a whole season under Pep and couldn't adapt to Pep's style, so if you were Clichy, will you stay and warm bench and win trophies or go elsewhere and play regularly?
Pep's first official match as City coach was against Ajax in a UCL qualifier (because City finished fourth the season before Pep came on board) and City won both leg 6 nil but Pep said if not for the chances wasted, the City team ought to have won 10 nil, that was where the man started having issues with the City team then.
After his first season at City, Pep was very clear on what he wanted and that was why he said Zabelleta and Clichy were too slow, then Walker was brought in, Kolarov was suppose to stay a season more but he declined and he got replaced. Pep is not a coach that really need a typical striker before winning, ask Eto'o, ask Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gomez, Maczudic (the Croatian guy) and so Aguero's wasn't really special to him.
Following Pep over the years, I have noticed that the man never want anybody that will divide his dressing room, example, Ronaldinho who Pep wouldn't have been able to control, Deco too, likewise Hart and Yaya who are big men in the City team.
I was a City fan from 2009-2012 but had to stop supporting them as soon as they won their first league because I felt they were now a big team after winning the League. I actually enjoy supporting not too big teams sha, take for instance, I support Newcastle United these days.

OgaRico:
John Stones, Kevin De Brunyne, Phil Foden, should have included Sterling but I saw him giving City a guard of honour last Sunday wearing a wrong blue outfit.

Veezy4u:
Guardiola is very good but he's fvckn overrated if him Sabi make him use average squad like d nonsense united have n succeed, just so you know Ederson,walker, akanji, Dias, stones, Rodri, Gundogan, kdb, grealish/foden, Bernardo, Mahrez,Haaland, Alvarez were All BOUGHT 😏 that's the entire team. Can you compare with any EPL squad?

Reloadedisraelp:
Manu spent more than city in 7yrs...are u alright at all??

Veezy4u:
d players Chelsea brought were they requested by tuchel? When potter came all those Fofana n madueke were they requested by him? No be owner buy wetin him like expect magic? Do you expect pep not to deliver after 7yrs with full freedom over his calibre of players? Last season and two seasons before, did you expect klopp not to create a good team like that? Newcastle almost relegated but the new owners brought Eddie Howe n supported him accordingly, was it a fluke the performed well in the past year? So wetin you de Talk
