Ederson, Dias, KDB in my opinion, Haaland might be able to make it too, that boy issa beast.
KDB can never bench any of the midfield trio. Diaz will get a reserve spot at most. Valdez over Ederson. Only Haaland get small chance.

Who told you Jose is not good tactically.

Klop and Liverpool copy same, and beat City too, So Which tactics are you talking about again
Did I say Jose is not good tactically?

You said pep will never coach a second favorite.

City struggled to qualify for UCL play off in 2015/16 season before pep joined them.

City are definitely not the first favourite for that pep first season.

Let's not forget that he inherited an old squad, with only KDB, Aguero and David silver being the only top players, the rest were not fit.
you said city struggled to do what before pep came?

A club that featured in the ucl for over 3-4 seasons with league trophies to boast of before pep’s coming were struggling?

U knw wetin be struggle? Ask arsenal fans they will explain more to you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


So only Aguero,Silva and de bruyne were top for players city had when pep came? What about the likes of Yaya and Walker? City’s keeper then was among the best in the epl then . Players like clichy and zabaleta were still balling. What about Vincent Kompany and boateng?

Nawaoooo

haaland won’t get any chance then because that barca team operated better with a false 9.

Remember zlatan’s issues at barca and the major reason he left for AC Milan. He was just like haaland but better with the ball on he’s feet but still couldn’t make it at that barca team

Valdez over Ederson? And who was pairing Pique in that defence? Marquez abimma Puyol at that time, Puyol was aging then, I will make a strong argument for Diaz.

Pep is good, very good. And the notion that money is behind his successes is not entirely true. Chelsea spent 600M this season and Dem no see top 4. grin grin
Buying players is one thing, knowing how to use them is another thing entirely.

However, this Mourinho slander is nonsense. Yes, he plays negative football...yes, he is a bus merchant. Mourinho is on of the best coaches in the world with impressive records and achievements.

Attractive football doesn't win you games everytime. You pick what works for you and get that result.

This metric of successors is not valid enough to buttress your opinion sir. Arteta for instance, works under Pep but his brand of football is different from Pep's. That the like of Xabi and Kompany play tikitaka doesn't mean Pep is the one who influenced them.

They all said Pep influenced them. Xabi Alonso said he went to play under Pep to learn from him.

Will you keep quiet my friend?

City finished the league in 4th place with 66points, same points with United but better goal difference.

He inherited an old squad, players like Zabaleta, Gael clichy, sagna, kolarov, toure were old and not fit.

He complained about Samir Nasri and Toure fitness, Nasri and Toure were over weight.

Joe hart wasn't his type of keeper(though signed Bravo who failed to adapt)
I repeat only KDB, Aguero, Sterling, David silver and maybe fernandinho were in top form.

Point of correction, Walker joined City in 2017.

The players he signed were average except Sane and Stones.

The Ethiad is always empty on champions league night and average on Epl match days.

Influence.

Guardiola is the key. The man that changed the get and most top coaches adapted from him.

Before Guardiola, it was not played at this depth and forms the foundation of their plays.

From 2013 city is the most likely favorite to dominate epl for the next decade their only problem is staying consistent and dropping points to smaller team

Check the record from 2014 till now head to head no top 4 has a better head 2 head than city
You’re telling a team that has never finished top 4 since 2013 is a little team oga rest your case abeg
When Mourinho was in his prime, did he ever coach a B-class team?

I mean from Porto( arguably the most successful team in Portugal), Chelsea.

Have you forgotten the Expensive squad he inherited in Madrid.

Inter were the best team in Italy, with 2-3 consecutive league titles.

Please use your sense.

Man City no dey consistent before pep join Dem.

I don't know how this recent Pep vs Jose debate started.

If it's Roma's UEL victory, then something is wrong with you guys.

You trolled Barcelona for getting banished to ULOPKA league, but praises Mourinho for qualifying for the same ULOPKA final.

There is a very big difference between the champions league and Europa league.

Elite coaches shouldn't be celebrating this small trophies, when teams like Barca, Madrid, Bayern get dropped to the UEL, we all knows that it's a big downfall and a big dent on the legacies of this iconic teams.

Old an unfit squad you say 😂

A squad where no team can boast of beating them home and away easily in the premiership

City never struggled there’s not a season you’ll see them struggle like Chelsea or Man U or Arsenal or Liverpool or tothenham did.

City was the most serial winner in 2014 upwards
The got the points
The goals and the position to back it up.
City for almost a decade now always end up in
1-2-3 and 3 is by mistake
You’re telling me that city is not consistent.

Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho are both highly regarded as fantastic managers.

Mourinho's tenure at Porto, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Inter Milan showcased teams that played some of the best football in modern times.

When Mourinho joined Manchester United during a difficult period, he managed to win two trophies despite not receiving the desired support for his transfer decisions involving Martial and Pogba.

Similarly, at Tottenham, Mourinho led the team to the top of the league but faced challenges in reinforcing the defense due to management decisions. Pep Guardiola took charge of City, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, clubs that were already successful before his arrival.

While some may argue Guardiola maintained the status quo, it's important to recognize the daunting challenges Mourinho embraces.
Despite interest from clubs like Newcastle, PSG, Madrid, and Chelsea, Mourinho has shown commitment to Roma due to the love and support he receives from the fans.

While it's possible he may leave after winning the Europa League, defeating Sevilla without Dybala would be a significant task for Roma. Ultimately, football is unpredictable, and anything can happen in the beautiful game.
