Pep doesn't even play to Haaland's strengths at all. So crazy that so many people don't understand football enough to recognize this. It's always Haaland who gets blamed for some reason when Foden, the PL Player of the Year, was even worse, and KDB was horrible as well and subbed off early in yet another final. There's a reason Haaland doesn't score the kind of goals that he did at Dortmund while on City, and suddenly people call him a "tap in merchant" now... it's because Pep wants him to play centrally, in the box, and create space for the wingers to work from the sides and outside the box. Being a "tap in merchant" is exactly what Pep wants him to be, so while I think Pep is capable, he's unwilling to move away from his style of play that's been so successful and therefore Haaland's overall game suffers. Haaland just scores despite it because he's a brilliant goal scorer. And yeah, he does need to be better in finals, but it's a silly narrative that oversimplifies something way more complicated than "0 goals in Finals for City"... well let's take a look at Pep's tactics in these finals, the style of play and what kind of game is taking place. Haaland is still a brilliant player, it doesn't matter what the haters say. He's only 23 years old as well. So many players peaked in their late 20s/30s in football so it's crazy the things people say about young players in this sport nowadays. People should have more respect for these players' talents/skills.
People will never realize Pep can't coach a team with a target man. He failed with Zlatan & he failed with Haaland. Pep is many things but an average coach with target man. The moment pressure is on he goes back into his shell of tiki taka nonsense that has won him 1 CL final in 13 years.
@@ant4613 you'd think they'd talk about his previous plays considering ESPN cover the bundesliga. Also, his heading has improved considering he sucked at headers at Dortmund

Erling has been made into a target man. And yes, he can use his physicality to get around defenders, unless of course those defenders start off with a bear-hug. Even if Erling keeps some distance, by the time the ball is traveling through the air towards him, all the defender has to do is grab hold. I've seen this a lot these days and for some reason, a foul almost never gets called when Erling is involved. If it were Kane, he would get the foul every time. It's almost as though the officials decided, Erling's a big strong boy, play on. But City opt not to utilize Erling's speed. I really think he should consider going elsewhere where he can do what he does best.
Big strikers have to work harder to get a whistle. It isn’t fair but it isn’t unique to Haaland. All giant strikers have had to deal with this subconscious human bias over the decades. It’s up to Erling to adapt.
Haaland isn't that kind of player though he is pretty much just a good old fashioned goal poacher and a very good one at that. I don't get this modern mentality from pudits that players suddenly have to be great at styles of play to be great now. Messi and Ronaldo in a way ruined everyone's perception of what most players are capable of even the very best.
100% Many pundits and fans get blinded by techy and flashy players instead of focusing on what really matters in football. Get the ball into the other team's net and stop the other team from scoring. The reality is that even Ronaldo was not the amazing all-round player that many think he was. Yes, Ronaldo scored many goals, but he for sure took extremely many shots as well. Missing on VERY many of them. And he was EXTREMELY selfish. Messi was a fantastic all-round player and a great team player as well. Another reality when it comes to both Ronaldo and Messi, is that it was and still is VERY much easier to score goals in La Liga than it is in the Premier League. If Haaland was to play for Real Madrid, he would score tons of goals.
Notice how whenever haaland scores it's always anyone can score for city but whenever the team collectively has a bad game or when haaland doesn't performe we hear this nonsense
y’all bashing Haaland like everyone didn’t praise him all year last season. Crazy how quick people switch up. Haaland is second (maybe third if you include Vini)to only Mbappe in the next generation of great footballers
Lets be as real as possible here, haaland is an elite finisher which as a striker ofcourse is the most important thing, but he is ridiculously average at EVERYTHING else
The problem with City is that outside of Doku, they don't have a true winger who can beat someone for pace and whip crosses into the box. They rely on inverted wingers too much which means the pitch becomes too narrow. They need another really quick winger for the right part of the front line who can also beat players with pace and whip crosses into the box for when the inverted winger stuff isn't working. City looked a lot more dangerous when Doku came on.

Don Carlos has absolutely zero tactics or innovation my friend. Madrid to their credit has accumulated the best players from around the globe. All coaches at Madrid including Don Carlos recognise this. They just have to man manage their egos and let them have their moments in the match. Lack of tactis and innovation translates to less possesion and created chances but high quality of players means higher goal conversion with less created chances. City on the other hand has a high IQ genius coach who can incorporate even average players into his innovative tactics resulting in more possession and created chances. Both systems are fascinating to watch for neutral fans like me. But pep is superior to anynother coach. He's a genius just like Messi. You just have to see him game without team bias. My two cents.

Sure but City actually scored more goals and had a better goal difference before Haaland. I think people's point is with the creative attacking talent around him, Haaland maybe isn't as important at City as he would be at other clubs. And it's a fair point to a degree. Haaland is more of a target man striker, and for City's patient teasing style of offense it's maybe not the best fit as elite as he may be in the role.
@@RDRGUY15 there's some truth there to be honest, and I think sticking it to his dad's rival's club didn't hurt either. Haaland is a great player but frankly City should sell him because they don't play a system that maximizes his skills and they could get an absolute ransom for him. Haaland is an exceptional player who will regress toward the mean like all others over time.
definitely, he could set the tempo of the game, take the ball anywhere, long pass and short passes, plus his goalscoring record is much better than the other 2, and Frank alluded to his work ethic off the ball too
Man city need better attacking wingers , they are in the same scenario all over again against teams who defend well they have possesion but it negatif , hope next season savio and doku can make the diffrence like mahrez in city and alvarez need more chance he is a better option than grealish and haaland need to improve his game overall

Haaland was for sure the true Ballon d'Or winner last season, but those frauds gave it to Messi because of the World Cup win. A total joke considering that the Ballon d'Or is no World Cup prize. But the Ballon d'Or has lost it's shine MANY years ago. It has been a popularity contest for many years and not so much about the quality on the pitch.

Just becuase you dont agree with some winners and probably is a anti-Messi fan doesnt make the award less creditible - remember its the same award where Messi was outside top 30.

3:40 this is the big problem with Man city. During attack, they are not as versatile anymore & can get quite predictable against teams that set up well defensively
Bro said never served? He scored over 50 last season and 40 odd this season he makes them play worse because all they do is try find him its not pep or his mates fault that without simple shitty tapins he's dreadful id sell him and make Alvarez the main man haalands record in the big games is absolutely atrocious
You are a clown that do not know or understand football at all. Alvarez the main man? Please tell us all what Alvarez has done this season. All these clowns like you claiming that City are better without Haaland and better with Alvarez and still Alvarez fails in almost all games and minutes he has played and City have done better with Haaland on the pitch. You even tell a total lie when you claim that they always try to find him. Every single pundit, ex player and other football experts have said that the City players try to pass Haaland the ball way to few times. The main problem regarding Haaland is that his team mates DON*T try to find him because of how Pep wants them to play. They spend most of the 90 minutes passing the ball sideways and backwards instead of trying to score goals.
Adopt better? He is clearly told by Pep to play the way he is at City. Haaland didn't play like this at Molde, Salzburg or Dortmund. I promise you that Ronaldo would struggle the same if not even more if he was to play for Pep at City. Even at his prime. Ronaldo had extremely poor shot conversion. MUCH worse than Haaland had this season. And with so few passes as Haaland gets, Ronaldo would most likely be biting Pep's head off if he was in Haaland's shoes. If Haaland had played for Real Madrid instead now, he would score tons of goals and most likely more than both Messi and Ronaldo did in their prime in La Liga. It was and still is so extremely much easier to score in La Liga than it is in the Premier League now.
@@The_Judge300Ronaldo also didnt ghost in big games. Ronaldo got the golden boot in premier league as a midfielder. Comparing him to Haaland is a disgrace
Thats fine, back to back golden boots, back to back titles. He's Haaland, stop living on what happened 10 years ago. Messi will never win 3 world cups, neither will Ronaldo, doesnt mean anyone should hate.
He does not have the skill set to be an all-round player. He is strictly a poacher. An all round striker is has these skill set: Speed Strength (Haaland checks this) Dribbling ability (He doesn't check this) An Eye for goal (He checks this) Versatile (He doesn't check this) A perfect example was R9. Haaland doesn't have all these qualities. Hats why it's easy for great defenders to take him out of a game. Simply because he is one dimentional.
Håland was never an all-round striker, never was, never will be and that's fine. Ppl do what they're good at. His game is based on specific attributes. Inzahgi never was an all-round striker and his career turned out just fine.
@willie549 ask the two people who said the same thing in the video after I posted my comment (Alie Moreno and Frank) watch the video again, if you must, if you need clarity.
Let us be real. Moreno, Shaka and Frank together with Gab are the last ones at ESPN that we should listen to. They are not able to remember what they said last time and just come with new waffling that fits the narrative every time. The reality is that PEP does NOT play to Haaland's strengths and it is so extremely obvious to see. I have always said that Haaland would be much better off playing for Real Madrid as they would really play to his strengths. Haaland would also be amazing playing for Arsenal under Arteta as also Arteta would do that.
The problem is not Haaland, it's Pep's pedestrian boring tiki taka style of play that rarely gets the ball early or enough to Haaland, Haaland needs to find another major club asap
Haaland should take a look at how Rashford has responded to criticism and turned himself into MOTM and back as one of Europe top 3 forwards. Haaland doesn't have a good attitude or the skill of Rashford but can improve.

I think Haaland needs to be a more complete player but that being said. I think last year Grealish crossed the ball quite well. But it seems every year he’s becoming more negative in his play which is a shame. Doku, I like. He reminds me of a snake ready to strike which how he slows the tempo down and then bites / accelerates. Pure electricity. Haaland is young and will learn more things - I think Kane would have been a good fit as he’s learned the ability to drop deep and score all types of goals.
You know you are angry at Man City for winning four in a row when you try to complain about a back to back golden boot winner, this is not Man Utd where the FA cup is the world cup. Sterling wanted to play how he wants to play now he's at Chelsea in the conference, you can tell Stevie wasnt in today the only actual winner. No way Kroos starts over Scholes though.
Rodri isn’t used to losing that’s the reality because every time he loses, he starts complaining and saying that this team didn’t play well enough to win: Real Madrid in the champions league, Morocco in the World Cup and Scotland in the EUROs qualifiers. Sometimes he can sound like a sore loser but you can’t blame him for what he says especially since he doesn’t lose a lot
In Germany and before he was an all-round player and did good. But in Man C PEP want him only there so as a good soldier he is doing as he have been told!
Haaland is definitely one of the best strikers in the world. He's being wasted at City. Pep loves to kill players' individual talents and instead mold them into plastic versions of themselves to fit his system. Same happened with Grealish. Same will probably happen with Doku.
If I was Haaland, I would want to leave City as soon as possible. Pep and City are almost not using his abilities in front of the goal at all. If I was so lucky to be Haaland, and Pep and City do not change this a lot next season, I would hand in my transfer request the second next season is over. Then Haaland will be much better off playing for a different club. I am sure there is a top La Liga club VERY eager to sign him.
Dan constantly referring to an individual winning a team sport is just ridiculous for a football pundit. Isn't there someone - anyone - who can call him out? 10:23
Frank, you can't blame ETH specifically for all the injuries at Utd. Liverpool had perhaps more injuries than them, along with Newcastle and Tottenham. The fact that several teams experienced severe injury problems refutes the idea that this is down to specific managers. Maybe players play too much football ever considered that. I notice footballers and ex-pros never come out and criticize FIFA/UEFA for fixture congestion - if they do it is very rare. Why? because they are happy taking obscene amounts of money.
Pep has never even gotten ALONG with his strikers. Let alone developed them. And he never plays to their strengths. Even the better ones he’s been given. Eto’o, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, the list goes on.
@@rௐண They were ready made. Eto’o had already won the European Double before Pep got there and was already dominant. Pep shipped him away and he won the Treble with Inter, Pep brought in Ibra, for a ton of money, didn’t play him to his strengths and had to sell him.
It is hard for Halaand to be a all round player in Man City because of the pattern of play that Man City play Everyone wants to be the headliners for City team
Pep Guardiola is just not a good coach. That's why MC only barely won one Champions league. Crossing the ball into the box is statistically one of the most effective and spectacular way to score. David Beckham was a master at deploying that technique, mostly diagonal ones, which led to many goals for England and his clubs. Halland would be the perfect target. Pep's lack of football knowledge is disguised by the fact that he only coaches teams with the best players. Jesus even called him a madman for his weird ineffective techniques.

United won the Fa cup yeee but Haaland won the league title, the important one
Sure but City actually scored more goals and had a better goal difference before Haaland.
I think people's point is with the creative attacking talent around him, Haaland maybe isn't as important at City as he would be at other clubs. And it's a fair point to a degree.
Haaland is more of a target man striker, and for City's patient teasing style of offense it's maybe not the best fit as elite as he may be in the role.
@@telquel7843city didn't even need him. Just didn't want any one else to have him 😂
Haalands an average player. That's why
@@RDRGUY15 there's some truth there to be honest, and I think sticking it to his dad's rival's club didn't hurt either.
Haaland is a great player but frankly City should sell him because they don't play a system that maximizes his skills and they could get an absolute ransom for him.
Haaland is an exceptional player who will regress toward the mean like all others over time.
But u said pl was farmers league?😂😂😂 fa cup is bigger than la liga lil Indian kid
Claiming a player is better because he won a world cup is a crazy take....
Henry existing in every big gaames
Behave you melt
Are you alright at all man
You're right Man. Henry always ghosted in finals
Because Man United wasn't Man United when SAF took over... that was a stupid question.
Haaland… right player in wrong team.
Scholes was amazing
definitely, he could set the tempo of the game, take the ball anywhere, long pass and short passes, plus his goalscoring record is much better than the other 2, and Frank alluded to his work ethic off the ball too
Haaland looks like a basketball player.
Man city need better attacking wingers , they are in the same scenario all over again against teams who defend well they have possesion but it negatif , hope next season savio and doku can make the diffrence like mahrez in city and alvarez need more chance he is a better option than grealish and haaland need to improve his game overall
It’s easy to take this show for granted
I think he's a one-dimensional player
Did Frank just say ETH is at fault for the 60 injuries.??
Yes. Probably either by the way he's training them, playing them or employing the medical staff.
Head of rehabilitation and physiotherapy Is vacant a position in man united
@@TheWhisperCorner ETH doesn't hire and fire the medical staff, you melon. 😂 How can ETH work at Ajax for years without an injury crisis while playing a more intensive system but it happened at United? Surely it's all ETH's fault, right? 😂😂
@@CoconutJewce I didn't say he did. I'm just guessing what Frank is implying, ya strawberry.
How is Dortmund reaching the CL final not in the top surprises?? haha
Well said Ale 1st question
13:26 Venezuela 1 - Argentina 0!!! A beautiful underdog story! 🍷
I like Haaland, he´s a great striker but no more than that atm. Not a ballon dor-type player yet either
Haaland was for sure the true Ballon d'Or winner last season, but those frauds gave it to Messi because of the World Cup win.
A total joke considering that the Ballon d'Or is no World Cup prize.
But the Ballon d'Or has lost it's shine MANY years ago.
It has been a popularity contest for many years and not so much about the quality on the pitch.
I'm not sure what a "Ballon d'Or-type-player" is but the Ballon d'Or award is a performance-based award.
@@The_Judge300ronaldo fans keep crying
@@The_Judge300 Absolutely not, just because you and some Ronaldo fans think that. WHat do you mean just because of world cup win? Have you been missing out 1998, 2002 or 2006? Keep believing that - thank God your opnion doesnt matter now. Just becuase you dont agree with some winners and probably is a anti-Messi fan doesnt make the award less creditible - remember its the same award where Messi was outside top 30. I just dont understand how people think...
@@ekeneemeife8389 Cant believe this. They dont talk about Ribery 2013 lol
9:06 Frank, most of them didn't get the injury during the training. It was heavy match load and lack of option to rotate. Have some insights Frank
He just talks nonsense without a deeper analysis
3:40 this is the big problem with Man city. During attack, they are not as versatile anymore & can get quite predictable against teams that set up well defensively
Erlin is a longpas ball player..he can play for RM.Borusa.are for intermilan..not for city
I believe he’s watching and learning as he gets game time. Next season he’ll spazz
Frank will take hendarson for hard work ahead of ineiesta, modric, zidane,pirlo,kroos,xavi
Bro said never served? He scored over 50 last season and 40 odd this season he makes them play worse because all they do is try find him its not pep or his mates fault that without simple shitty tapins he's dreadful id sell him and make Alvarez the main man haalands record in the big games is absolutely atrocious
You are a clown that do not know or understand football at all.
Alvarez the main man?
Please tell us all what Alvarez has done this season.
All these clowns like you claiming that City are better without Haaland and better with Alvarez and still Alvarez fails in almost all games and minutes he has played and City have done better with Haaland on the pitch.
You even tell a total lie when you claim that they always try to find him.
Every single pundit, ex player and other football experts have said that the City players try to pass Haaland the ball way to few times.
The main problem regarding Haaland is that his team mates DON*T try to find him because of how Pep wants them to play.
They spend most of the 90 minutes passing the ball sideways and backwards instead of trying to score goals.
I've seen this Haaland guy play and his major strength seems to be his height to receive crosses for headers over shorter players...
I luv franks confident by sayijg they never felt they underdog against Brazil 😁💯
If Haaland played for Real Madrid he would score much more. Guardiola doesn't let him play the way he want and should play...
Haaland be like : Give me Sheffield, Give me Brentford, Give me Luton or i retire 🎶 🎵
Frank's response to the Varane and Martinez question (around 7:50) is a disgrace.
Haaland will never be a Messi or Ronaldo but he can be a great goal scorer.. he just needs to adopt better.
Adopt better?
He is clearly told by Pep to play the way he is at City.
Haaland didn't play like this at Molde, Salzburg or Dortmund.
I promise you that Ronaldo would struggle the same if not even more if he was to play for Pep at City.
Even at his prime.
Ronaldo had extremely poor shot conversion.
MUCH worse than Haaland had this season.
And with so few passes as Haaland gets, Ronaldo would most likely be biting Pep's head off if he was in Haaland's shoes.
If Haaland had played for Real Madrid instead now, he would score tons of goals and most likely more than both Messi and Ronaldo did in their prime in La Liga.
It was and still is so extremely much easier to score in La Liga than it is in the Premier League now.
@@The_Judge300stop talking nonsense 😂
@@The_Judge300Ronaldo also didnt ghost in big games. Ronaldo got the golden boot in premier league as a midfielder. Comparing him to Haaland is a disgrace
Thats fine, back to back golden boots, back to back titles. He's Haaland, stop living on what happened 10 years ago. Messi will never win 3 world cups, neither will Ronaldo, doesnt mean anyone should hate.
@@The_Judge300 Struggle to do what? win trophies. If Haaland is struggling what are Isak and them doing? What a waste of a paragraph.
'SHAKKA SURELY YOU WERE AN UNDERDOG IN EVERY GAME YOU PLAYED'🤣💔
Xavi > Kroos > Scholes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂
@@Blaze-2457it's true tho
He does not have the skill set to be an all-round player. He is strictly a poacher.
An all round striker is has these skill set:
Speed
Strength (Haaland checks this)
Dribbling ability (He doesn't check this)
An Eye for goal (He checks this)
Versatile (He doesn't check this)
A perfect example was R9.
Haaland doesn't have all these qualities. Hats why it's easy for great defenders to take him out of a game. Simply because he is one dimentional.
I don’t see him playing like the likes of Lewa considering they are both tall strikers I don’t remember even seeing Haaland do a diagonal pass
Håland was never an all-round striker, never was, never will be and that's fine. Ppl do what they're good at. His game is based on specific attributes. Inzahgi never was an all-round striker and his career turned out just fine.
the so called greatest coach of all time should have no issues developing and nurturing a talent like Haaland..
Foh no one calls pep the greatest coach of all time that title belongs to Ferguson
This is the same espn that claims Pep and ManCity does NOT play to Haaland's strength.
clueless geezers.. I thought Man United was a sure thing??
What strength is that then? He was the same at Dortmund
@willie549 ask the two people who said the same thing in the video after I posted my comment (Alie Moreno and Frank) watch the video again, if you must, if you need clarity.
Let us be real.
Moreno, Shaka and Frank together with Gab are the last ones at ESPN that we should listen to.
They are not able to remember what they said last time and just come with new waffling that fits the narrative every time.
The reality is that PEP does NOT play to Haaland's strengths and it is so extremely obvious to see.
I have always said that Haaland would be much better off playing for Real Madrid as they would really play to his strengths.
Haaland would also be amazing playing for Arsenal under Arteta as also Arteta would do that.
Has pep ever coached anyone into a better player? He buys players who fit his profiles, when they don’t conform he buys the next player
The problem is not Haaland, it's Pep's pedestrian boring tiki taka style of play that rarely gets the ball early or enough to Haaland, Haaland needs to find another major club asap
Henry and Haaland have one thing in common; They always Ghosted in the Big games
Haaland should take a look at how Rashford has responded to criticism and turned himself into MOTM and back as one of Europe top 3 forwards. Haaland doesn't have a good attitude or the skill of Rashford but can improve.
Ghosted but won trophies still 😂
Very true. But arsenal and henry fans will be mad at you for this.
@@RussingtonS4678😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 go to sleep kid 🤦🏽♂️
@@krisxchirbas9503 I just feel bad for Arsenal fans but City are just too good
He is great goalscorer, he is not a great player. Crazy how people compare him to Mbappe.
Håland was never an all-round striker, never was, never will be and that's fine. Ppl do what they're good at. His game is based on specific attributes. Inzahgi never was an all-round striker and his career turned out just fine.
This is like Zlatan all over again.
Haaland played against two World Cup winners at CB, that's why he was pocketed
I think Haaland needs to be a more complete player but that being said.
I think last year Grealish crossed the ball quite well. But it seems every year he’s becoming more negative in his play which is a shame.
Doku, I like. He reminds me of a snake ready to strike which how he slows the tempo down and then bites / accelerates. Pure electricity.
Haaland is young and will learn more things - I think Kane would have been a good fit as he’s learned the ability to drop deep and score all types of goals.
Martinez has already paid off despite the injury, won them this cup
Carl Walker was the main culprit he was trying to go to the middle just telling rashwod go and attack on my side and score
You know you are angry at Man City for winning four in a row when you try to complain about a back to back golden boot winner, this is not Man Utd where the FA cup is the world cup. Sterling wanted to play how he wants to play now he's at Chelsea in the conference, you can tell Stevie wasnt in today the only actual winner. No way Kroos starts over Scholes though.
Rodri isn’t used to losing that’s the reality because every time he loses, he starts complaining and saying that this team didn’t play well enough to win: Real Madrid in the champions league, Morocco in the World Cup and Scotland in the EUROs qualifiers. Sometimes he can sound like a sore loser but you can’t blame him for what he says especially since he doesn’t lose a lot
Seems like alot of losing base on your comment
In Germany and before he was an all-round player and did good. But in Man C PEP want him only there so as a good soldier he is doing as he have been told!
Frank is the master of saying the same thing, other have already said. In different words
Haaland is definitely one of the best strikers in the world. He's being wasted at City. Pep loves to kill players' individual talents and instead mold them into plastic versions of themselves to fit his system. Same happened with Grealish. Same will probably happen with Doku.
Haaland never scores in important games but farms bottom table teams to score against them.
Seems like every time it goes wrong for City suddenly it's all about Haaland???
Will the most prolific scorer in Europe improve, or is he a finished product at 23? Geez, I don’t know 🙄
Leave it to Pep Guardiola to manage to lose against this United team with THAT Man City team, absolutely embarrasing.
Imagine complaining about city *give your head a wobble.
Any ways *115 charges
🤷
The hate on Eric ten Hag is boring. They just want him gone
Why Craig Burnley always miss the show when United win the game😅😅😅
If it isn't broken don't fix. Simple as that.
Halaand's dad puts him in this Man City conundrum!
If I was Haaland, I would want to leave City as soon as possible.
Pep and City are almost not using his abilities in front of the goal at all.
If I was so lucky to be Haaland, and Pep and City do not change this a lot next season, I would hand in my transfer request the second next season is over.
Then Haaland will be much better off playing for a different club.
I am sure there is a top La Liga club VERY eager to sign him.
Doku is a waste as a winger not to bring his centre forward into the game more often. Even Raheem Sterling is more effective than him
Dan constantly referring to an individual winning a team sport is just ridiculous for a football pundit. Isn't there someone - anyone - who can call him out? 10:23
Someone give me the name of this song.
Frank, you can't blame ETH specifically for all the injuries at Utd. Liverpool had perhaps more injuries than them, along with Newcastle and Tottenham. The fact that several teams experienced severe injury problems refutes the idea that this is down to specific managers. Maybe players play too much football ever considered that. I notice footballers and ex-pros never come out and criticize FIFA/UEFA for fixture congestion - if they do it is very rare. Why? because they are happy taking obscene amounts of money.
Pep has never even gotten ALONG with his strikers. Let alone developed them. And he never plays to their strengths. Even the better ones he’s been given. Eto’o, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, the list goes on.
He got made aguero better
I assume he got along with Villa and Lewandowski though, didn't he?
Lewandowski left the chat
What are you talking abt?! Eto'o and Kun were profilic under Pep
@@rௐண They were ready made. Eto’o had already won the European Double before Pep got there and was already dominant. Pep shipped him away and he won the Treble with Inter, Pep brought in Ibra, for a ton of money, didn’t play him to his strengths and had to sell him.
An eagle does what an eagle does best. You don’t teach an eagle how to fly like the other birds.
Legend said Manchester City player still partying 🎉😂😂
It is hard for Halaand to be a all round player in Man City because of the pattern of play that Man City play
Everyone wants to be the headliners for City team
He want’s a number 9 type of player but can’t coach them. Remember how the great Zlatan was handled?
Dan tomas you are a funny dude. ill give you that
Pep Guardiola is just not a good coach. That's why MC only barely won one Champions league. Crossing the ball into the box is statistically one of the most effective and spectacular way to score. David Beckham was a master at deploying that technique, mostly diagonal ones, which led to many goals for England and his clubs. Halland would be the perfect target. Pep's lack of football knowledge is disguised by the fact that he only coaches teams with the best players. Jesus even called him a madman for his weird ineffective techniques.
Scholes on the same level as Xavi and Kroos is a joke. The guy was pish for England and wasn't even playing when Utd finally won the Champions League
Yeah running like a SHARK 🦈 😂😂
