Lana1, I see what you did on the Shekpe thread as regards Pep Guardiola and it made me wonder if your earlier stance/opinion/choice as regards who should have been appointed to replace Van Gaal, has changed. is your opinion still the same? should we have gone for Guardiola? honest truth.



N.B, this is not a Mourinho/Guardiola debate. so if you are itching to start one, please to the left!


so, lana1, what's good, bro?

So if pep nor talk am you nor know before. That's why e hard to win those smaller teams for epl cos na kick and run and set piece mongers them be. If you be all possession team or coach e nor go work for epl, it is either they give your key players injury (like arsenal players over the years) or they get points from you.

Confusion

Guardiola Is a phool
Make everybody dey follow am dey try to play tiki taka na wetin he dey find?
Even when they don't need the personnel to compete favourably with him in that regards.
He's frustrated that English managers have a way around him and not just rolling over like other Bayanshliga and laliga teams

Because life start and end with tiki taka
Thunder fire him

He dey find osho free

Dont drill your defenders on how to tackle, defend set pieces and win 2nd Balls, be there lamenting

Pep is not better than Mourinho, different fans can have a choice between them but it will be only a personal thing. They've both had a considerable amount of success over a short span however they are very different in their approach.

The reason some fans wanted Pep to replace LvG was because they feel his style will be more pleasing to the eye, while another group wanted Jose for his "instant fix" abilities.

I don't know how differently things may have been but here we are, let's just embrace the present.

I know that this question is for Adelana, but since I'm among those that wanted Pep ahead of Mou for United, I want to chip in my opinion.

See, Pep is a victim of his own success which led to his overhyped reputation. What is happening to Pep is as result of some deluded fans and the foolish press placing him on a pedestal that he's not meant to be, a result of the press making him a demi-god who can just waltz into any team and with a flick of a switch turn them to Barcelona of his era. It doesnt work that way. EPL is not Ligue 1. They didn't take into consideration the opponents he's about to face and the quality of the players at his disposal.

Guardiola is not a fraud, you don't achieve what he has achieved being a fraud. He was just toooooooooooooo highly overrated. Now shît has hit the fan, they are being disappointed one by one. Did I wanted Pep ahead of Mourinho? Yes. Do I still want him at United? Another yes.

But why did I want Pep ahead of Mourinho? I didn't want the likes of Pep, Ancellotti and Simeone ahead of Mourinho coz Mourinho is a bad coach. Nah. None of that. The reason I picked them was coz of Mourinho's attitude. He's known for falling out with his players and making enemies everywhere he goes. That's the first thing I considered. The likes of Pep and Ancellotti are known as Mr. NICE GUYS. I wanted a coach that won't be causing chaos for United, focused solely on returning us to our former glory.

The second reason I wanted Pep is coz, I see Pep as someone with a vision, a mission or tactics of some sort, which he plans to imbibe into a club so that long after he's gone, the link of success is still unbroken. But Pep has his fault too. He's too tactical to his detriment. He doesn't like adjusting to some conditions temporarily so he can get what he wants at the end. It's among the reasons he's struggling now. City is not Barca, even if he wants to turn them into one, he'd take it slow and steady. He has to play to his team's strength. Then after the season, he can choose those that fits his ideologies and get those he needs. It's this his obsession of standing out and being a "tactical guru" that has seen him sack Hart to get Bravo who should be an upgrade on Hart, but he's not. Bravo keeps well for Chile, but when he's back at City, Pep forces him to pass instead of keeping. This is madness. All the great keepers from Zoff to Cech are renowned for saving shots not passing. Pep's obsession with tactics has seen City playing players in ridiculous position. Against Mochengladbach, at a time KDB was almost play as a wing-back. He tweaks a lot and it has led him into overworking his players. He has no second plan, all he does is attack and attack. I love attacking football more than defensive football, but a coach should know when to abandon attacking for at least one or two matches and safeguard his lead.


In all, I'm happy he's struggling and I wish him more woes not coz I hate him but coz City is my eternal rival, their failure is a thing of joy. Secondly, I need the teams in top 5 to lose matches if I'm to make it to top 4. So long may his struggles continue. I wish him more failure. Nothing personal.

Calling him a fool when he his studying the EPL..These are minute things,even I hadn't noticed that in the EPL,you play airball instead of football.

Once he finishes studying it,he is ruling it.

He even noticed that Watford's throw ins from the left side taken by Holebas are dangerous.
