Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

[number4.]

Just need them to clamp down on Salah and Mane’s constant diving now eh fellow toffee?!

No argument there - kudos to you for the humor. good work that

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

But when Liverpool or United do it and they do repeatedly it’s a ‘clever foul’ or it’s
‘taking one for the team’. Funny that?
it was Garry Neville brought it into the media spotlight against City for a reason.
There is a no more cynical manager than Klopp - bar none. But because he’s the
grinning media golden boy it never gets mentioned.

Did you mention diving? I’ll give you Mane & Salah. End of.

Klopp and Guardiola are a pair of Stefan Kuntz.

 

[FCBarça]

Not cynical?!? Their whole game revolves around strategic fouls high up the pitch to stop the opposition from breaking.

One of the most cynical teams going.

A decade of watching Pep and that's your conclusion that his philosophy/game revolves around strategic fouling? Look who's cynical

Dont write City off. They win this today and then their game in hand, they're not far off the top. 85-90 points will win it this season and they're still capable of that.

Still not a huge fan of pep and his philosophy. I think the players hes started to bring through for city this season has weakened them, the likes of Torres, dias, rodri etc. Hes still yet to win the champions league since leaving Barca, despite having numerous goes with bayern and city. In fact he doesnt even seem to come close with City.

He seems to also have been brushed aside quite easily by Klopp in the premier league title race the last few seasons. Ok, hes not out of this one yet, but comparing his teams displays with Liverpool I dont think he has a hope. Particularly when Liverpools better players return.

When you say last few seasons do you mean one season?

What a scum bag Pep is, just heard his interview about Benjamin Mendy, about what a "Goodguy" he is, claiming the public shouldn't judge his New Year's Eve celebrations, considering his mum died of C19 to stick up for Mendy is disgusting.

Seems to be the way it is in the modern game. RS constantly defend horrific things (think Suarez) to the point of embarrassment, Cavani getting defended for being racist, Bernardo Silva defended for being racist etc.
I wonder if that’s why Moise Keane had such a sulk on and wanted out, we correctly condemned him immediately for breaking the rules...

I don’t think it’s fair to call Cavani racist.

I don’t think it’s fair to call Cavani racist.

Yeah maybe not and I don’t think he was malicious to be honest, just a bit stupid for doing it on social media because he’s calling someone a name which is only for people of a certain ethnicity. People get offended by it and the FA has a zero tolerance policy so I’m not surprised by a ban.
As a white Englishman I’ll never know what it’s like to be referred to in a way like that so I don’t know if it’s right or wrong.

In that case you have to excuse B Silva too as it was obvious he was just having a laugh with Mendy. People are way too sensitive about people having a joke between friends

Oh I’m not offended in the slightest but how stupid do you have to be to post that picture on social media when hundreds of thousands of people will see it who are not your mate and not part of the in joke and I’m this day and age people get offended by that stuff and racism is such a sensitive topic right now.
I think we all post risky stuff in private chats that you would never want your work to see for example but I’d never post something open to the whole world because I’m not an idiot.

The point is though, people were offended and perceived it as racism. If people are offended by a post related to race then isn’t it a racist post no matter what the intention was? Whether you think people are too sensitive or whatever, people can be offended by things like that and in supporting him, they defended racism.

1 goal conceded in 8 games when Dias and Stones have partnered. 3 wins on the spin now with favourable fixtures ahead. 4 behind the top with two games in hand and rivals playing each other soon. Aguero and Jesus both back to fitness. Just splattered Chelsea Arsenal Southampton and United away from home with ease.

Ominous.

Which is why Herr Klopp is in the news flagging up their CB situation and lack of transfer activity.

Indeed - they are always going to score one - it looks like he is really setting up for the CL, he has blown so many chances due to defensive breakdowns
