Still no CL without Messi Xavi Iniesta.

Get out baldy.

I think he's a great manager but he's self-indulgent. Still one of the all time greats.

He's not.

Might be controversial to say this but I think he isnt in that conversation.

Sure thing, dummy. His barca humiliated us in the champions league.

Our players were asking for the whistle from 20 mins out.

Guardiola is a fantastic manager.

And Tuchel looks like he knows what he's doing as well.

This.

Fraudiola

He’s a very very good manager. If it was easy to take over a great good group of players and win lots of things everyone would do it

They don’t

I think his Barca team were genuinely great to watch and I enjoyed seeing his Bayern time the few times I caught them. I think he’s turned City into absolute machines because of the physicality of the PL - less flair than his older teams had, and he was always very possession based In his approach anyway, so he’s just got them playing very efficient (and snide) football. Utterly smother the life out of games.

I’m not sure he’ll be able to adapt completely as the game moves on. I think he’ll be like Mourinho in 5/6 years.

He’s a great manager but he overthinks it in the Champions League

You might argue Fergie had a similar flaw in the Champions League

This loss is going to £#%&! him up even more in the head in future Champions League knockout matches

He likes to make big occasions all about himself and it’s backfired

Probably to try and emphasise he can do it his way and without Messi.

£#%&! him.

That barca side were the best side to ever play football. He at least has some credit for it.

Depends what type of football you like. Us in 75/76 and 94 lights up the heart.

I hated their football but it was effective. They made us look like a team from the 30s or something. Absolutely humiliated us.

He is a top manager but that tonight was madness.

Can't get my head round what he has done tbh.

He’s a superb manager, come on. But he’s never had to battle, not really. Barca with Messi, Bayern, city’s oil billions. Wonder how he’d get on at Watford.

Our joke transfer policy was shown up more than anything, Fergie was so good, he could get away with it in the league, but the lack of quality was embarrassing by the time we faced them in that second final. We had Park, Valencia, & Hernandez starting ffs

Effective does not mean best.

Superb manager but massively £#%&!ed up tonight.

If Ole did that we'd be going £#%&!ing mental. The moment I saw the team sheet I knew they were in trouble. Crazy. Literally playing into Chelsea's hands.
