Pep Guardiola can do no wrong.

The Grauniad have their new Wenger.

Premier League should learn from Pep Guardiola, not pour scorn on him

https://www.theguardian.com/football...-claudio-bravo

He will not betray his principles because of one mistake. Instead we are the ones who should be learning from him.

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola can take positives from Barcelona defeat

https://www.theguardian.com/football...-sergio-aguero

The same was true against Barcelona. City were never on top to the same extent, nothing like it, but they did set up some promising situations when there was only one goal in the game and Agüero is precisely the sort of player one would normally choose to make the most of limited chances.

Yes, Paul. He made an absolute %@#$&!s of things by dropping Aguero - he'll end up at United with this sort of treatment. Genius.

Funny how they never warmed to LVG.

Terrible lack of patriotism after the way he treated Harty but then that's the Guardian for you.

“CLOWNIO” roared the Sun’s back page on Thursday morning, which was fair enough. It was a pretty clownish piece of goalkeeping, incompetence on a grand scale. But how the Bravo backlash fits into the wider Guardiola debate is instructive, an early pointer about how the schadenfreude would flow if the Catalan fails in England, and not just because he offended national sensibilities by jettisoning Hart with such ruthlessness that he might as well have said the Great British Bake Off is overrated. It is also because he is introducing an alien concept here, redefining the art of goalkeeping by making his No1 play out from the back, turning him into an auxiliary midfield playmaker. Well, that might work in Spain. But try to spray a pass on to David Silva’s chest while Andy Carroll’s elbow is lodged down your throat. The sensible English goalkeeper saves, catches, boots it into Row Z and appears in a shampoo commercial. Inevitably Guardiola, recognising the risks of his approach, defended Bravo. This is how he sees football.

Nice to read that Clownio is the only Premier League keeper to pass the ball out from the back.

And he's shit at it

If we were parking the bus, what the £#%&! is not fielding your best striker by some distance? Lunacy, that's £#%&!ing what. Jose's gambit worked but they've called him boring. Pep's gamble failed £#%&!ing miserably yet they've £#%&!d him. What a bunch of shit@#%&!s.

The problem for Guardiola is trying to satisfy that neediness, that desire for the sophisticated, suave, garlanded foreign man to tell us how awesome the Premier League is, with its habit of serving up matches as chokingly dull as Red Monday’s Liverpool v Manchester United extravaganza.

We're sorry, Pep!

well, as Cream said in the initial post -

To criticise Pep is to show a lack of 'intelligence" - so none of them will dare do it. Certainly not any time in the next decade at least.
I saw sports headlines the next day that read - "Peps men shone despite 4-0 defeat"

Nauseating times.

It was obvious the way this was going from the first game against Sunderland.

so true.

It's Wenger all over again.
English footballers used to eat deep-fried chocolate cake in batter before & even during the game at times, but Wenger revolutionised the Premier League diet by introducing salad to the canteen menu.

etc...

this is the point. no-one's slagging him off for playing out from the back. they're slagging him off because he's not very good at it.

Also not very good at other essential elements of keeping the nets - should have been sent off for his reckless challenge against us.

And the guys in front of him are even worse

it's possible that those chances would not have come their way if aguero had started, since they would have been attacking from different angles to accommodate an out-and-out striker. that was the whole point of dropping him.

liverpool were shit.

we were ok 1st half after a decent start and controlled the game until the hour.

then we were shit on the counter-attack.

liverpool were shit. negative. defensive back passing £#%&!ers.

No wins in 5.

Not Pep's fault that his defenders miscued a pass. Crisis averted.

Thank you Pep, for showing us how to draw at home to Southampton.

Show us the way, oh great one.
