Bit rude to ignore the detail of Hart's absolute renaissance at celtic. If pep ruined him, Ange fixed him. He was wonderful for those seasons under Postecoglu.
Not sure you can call playing for Celtic a renaissance. The team is a big fish in a small pond, so would've received much less shots than the other clubs he played for since Man City. Its also a league that doesnt bother with Goalkeeper distribution, further proving peps reason to bin him
@@jackbrownio3 huh nah man, even considering the difference in quality, he played really well there and learnt to love the game again - which is the most important thing.

@ fair play to him enjoying himself and performing well at that level, but would still argue that he wouldnt have made the bench at any top 5 league side
I'm biased but to me it could be the best transfer of all time. Getting Eto'o and then becoming the only ever Italian club to win the treble just feels so good 😂

I think you're forgetting Henry was 30 when Pep became manager and played shit in his final season at Arsenal so I wouldn't say Pep ruined him but he was declining anyway.
In the spirit of Ryuzaki Day 9 of asking for an in-depth video on Bodø/Glimt, who just recently became champions for the 4th time in 5 years, and who only got promoted back to Eliteserien as recently as 2017 This is a gold mine, Alfie. Dig it 😎🇳🇴
Gabriel Jesus just doesn’t have that clinical striker’s instinct, the thing you can’t really coach into a player. If anything Pep actually made him look better than he is
You could say that he was like a striker but he could have him put down the wing and developed as a winger. So your claim that he made him look better than he was. Is false
But didn't he seem to have that when he arrived and it then disappeared or hasn't developed? Which may be down to coaching or system. Having said that, he doesn't seem to be getting it back at Arsenal, whereas Havertz suddenly seems to have developed it at last (most of the time anyway).
I’ve never understood how Grealish gets such an easy ride in the media.He’s the best I’ve ever seen at celebrating trophies he had nothing to do with winning.
@@T.E.S.S. yeah Terry is the exact same as Grealish, Terry sucks so much how on Earth does Chelsea have the EPL goals conceded record with him in it???
Tbh Joe Hart did not expect what hit him out of nowhere. If he did, and instead of letting his emotions for the club stall him (which one should never force a player not to), and left instantly he'd have lots of big clubs looking to sign him. Things would have been very different. Its almost unfair for him.
Please do a vid on the 7 biggest teams that flopped. Teams that were expected to dominate and yet completely and utterly failed. I think of the galacticos and psg when I imagine this.
2008 rooney, he had just 6 less g/a than torres with multiple injuries and won the trebble meanwhile torres won only the euros 2014 its neuer not neur but tbf some of those you mention should have been awarded even with cr7 and messi
This implies that Messi or Ronaldo was the cause of Covid 19 as in this hypothetical Lewa is awarded the 2020 Ballondor when it was cancelled due to Covid.
IBRA. I holidayed in Barcelona summer he was signed and he was on huge billboards everywhere. He was on fire until the Messi EGO kicked in! Ask David Villa!
In terms of entertainment Grealieh was absolutely top notch at Villa and given the freedoms by Smith to show that flare. Man City are boring to watch even when winning. It almost felt like Southgate was trying to emulate the same thing with England
Grealish ruined himself, not even in England he wants to dribble freely, in Aston Villa he was a agile player but also intelligent, in City there has been a very reduced version of both. I blame his lack of confidence and the fact he plays against low blocks all the time rather than Guardiola.
This might be the best argument for a salary cap or fixed squad sizes, say what you want about American or Australian sports leagues but the only players who are 'wasted' are backups who can easily bargain for a better position on a new team
The video has merit - there are some footballers who regressed significantly in their careers after stays at Man City specifically during Guardiola. One could probably argue that case for a few more names worth a dishonorable mention. Even without doing further research I can recall Joao Cancelo (not sure why he wasn't in, despite being a quite recent example), Alvaro Negredo, Ferran Torres, Leroy Sane, Fernando, Jesus Navas (despite his subsequent longevity at Sevilla) and perhaps outlandishly even Sergio Aguero in his final couple of seasons at the club. All of them being talented, of course, but, for one reason or another, lost much of their value after City.
Some of these seem different in that they did well at Man City under Guardiola and failed after moving away. Sane and Fernando seem to fall into that category. Also Aguero who was entering the twilight stages of his career - no great footballer can go on for ever.
remove cr7 (he didnt play for much time in the prem) and bale (also didnt play for much in the prem) and add in kane and andy cole (you could also remove bergkamp and add aguero in his place)
I actaually don't rate Guardiola as the best, all of the teams he has managed have at worst been the 2nd best team in the league when he took over and frequently the most expensive
I agree. This is the first time his team isn’t by far the best in the league squad wise. Due to many out of form or old players or just lack of world class players. And suddenly he just can’t win any more
I don't really think it's Pep. When you look at other wingers his brought in or made stars like Mahrez, Sane and Sterling (still amazes me that Pep was able to make Sterling produce close to Messi numbers considering how much chances he missed)... it's more that Grealish isn't up to standard or may have just fallen off. You can't expect him to play the same type of role at Villa when he was the main man there but now his just one of the pieces of Pep's team.
"Ruined" lol you wiuod still get views if you don't sensationlize it bro smh what a weird time to be alive the minute a great struggles content creators rush to capitalize on the narratives
Generally speaking, under pep, players that are inferior at dealing with pressure from all directions and making plays while creating spaces for others are demoted to sides. Because even if they might have been decent at their past club, Pep's team had players that are levels above other players, like Messi, KDB etc and in order for teams to operate correctly, some of them has to accept the supporting role. Grealish has never been good enough to play central under Pep even when he was given chances. Grealish contributed to treble by retaining possesion and being involved defensively. Now he won't even do that it seems. Zlatan had too big of an ego to accept that Messi is steps above him and he has to play around him. Henry was the polar opposite.
Cole Palmer is the best example. People say "City should never have let him go" but he would never have been allowed to play the same way with as much freedom as he does at Chelsea, if he stayed at Man City. He would have been a bit part player at best. Pep's football relies on system players and there have been many talented footballers who have fallen foul of style of football. There are also many great players who he has fallen out with.
Pep’s system as a whole tamps down creative players in order to fit his rigid system,(messi aside) it is what it is and has worked for him (up until recently)
Random request: National teams who's "golden generation" never amounted to much success. E.g (excluding the obvious) 50s Hungary, Mid 2000s-2010s ivory Coast. Early 2010s Argentina, and others I may have missed.
I would've definitely included Bravo over Henry and Zlatan. The Chilean went from a very solid keeper, regular starter in la liga for a very good Barcelona side and on top of all that back to back copa america winner, to an absolute car crash of a player, who looked abysmal in his first season, and then was left to rot on the bench for three more seasons. Sure, he was fine for Betis, but if he hadn't gone to City, he could've probably still commanded a move be the first choice at another European giant, like PSG, Juve or Chelsea.
i know this whole video is sarcastic and that you're a Pep fan, but 1 Champions League in 11 seasons managing Bayern and City is pretty abysmal. especially when you consider Real Madrid have won 6 in that same time period and Pep's team was basically their only significant competition.
It’s unfair to compare the one good minute Torres had to a whole season. Grealish was indispensable that season and City achieved what they always wanted, therefore he justified his fee. He was brought in to win them what they coveted and they did. Case closed. The Torres thing is half a joke, but what he did in a minute to win them the UCL, Grealish did over a season. That’s the entire difference.
What people forget is Zlatan was scoring in every game including in el Clasico before the hormone infused dwarf cried to his daddy why he wasn't the leading goal scorer. The end of season stats are missleading compared to the score when Zlatan was properly utilized.
was the most exciting winger in his Aston Villa days but it’s all gone to shit with Pep completely revamped the winger to fit his system everyone wanted his signature now I’m not even sure if one wants his signature.
Day 9 ( Just 691 left) 7 best Norwegian players in the premier league excluding Halaand and Ødegaard (too predictable and obvious) Could also be a series. many countries which had 7 different players playing in the Premier league. Maybe making a spin-off series where you look at the 7 worst players from said countries also.
He also single handedly ruined german football. The few years he spent at Bayern had a tremendously negative impact on the Germany national team and was one of the main causes to the awful period post WC 2014 win. I am very glad that Germany is slowly but surely finding its way back to how they used to play.
So you openly admit that the first player in your "Ruined by Pep" list wasn't even ruined by Pep. I have never seen that in any of your videos. And quite frankly, the framing of this video is flimsy at best.
Honestly, as an American, what does "get in" even mean. Like where are you getting into, what are you getting into, and why. Something slightly exciting happens Englishmen: GET INNNNNN GET IN THEREEEEEEE GET FUCKING IN M8 INNIT ??????
Certainly in the issue at City is that they sign players who are the best at their previous club the big fish, only to be then thrown into a pond full of other big fish so inevitably are lost in the shuffle......
watching Grealish play at number 10 for Carsley's England was like going in a time machine back to when he was at Villa and exciting to watch. I agree that Pep has somewhat ruined him but it's difficult to argue that it wasn't worth it overall, and JG would probably agree
Pretty disappointed in you regarding the « Messi wanted to play centrally ». Messi as a false 9, was Tito’s idea. Pep asked Messi to play there against Madrid in 2009. Ibra arrived the next season….
Alfie can you make a video on the 7 footballers with the most complete football careers? What I mean by that is people who have experience the most total experiences in football, so lower league experience, promotions relegations, cup and league titles national team career, playing in the continental cups and the World Cup, playing in different leagues, ect. To me an example is someone like Jamie Vardy who has played in the national league, won the championship, won the prem and the FA cup, played in the champions league and for England and in the World Cup I ask because this is the type of abstract ranking that I can only see your channel making, and because while I can pull Jamie Vardy I fully expect you to share some Iraqi footballer from 1934 who played in Serie 2, Portugal, won the Japanese league and and finished in Colombia
Zlatan was just redundant at Barça. They didn't need him and Pep was right to get rid of him. Zlatan was much more suited for the Serie A any way. A win=win I think.
Trust me, Nunes was crap at Wolves. Lots of potential but hardly any final product. Then he went on strike to get his move. What a snake! Great to see the Nunes curse in full effect this season though.
I agree with your initial statement, you really don’t have a lot to pick from, as most of these are a reach. Gabriel Jesus himself is to blame. He’s too emotional and mopey. He’s also not the first Brazilian we’ve seen look world class as a youngster, only to flop in European football. In fact, it’s hard to think of any other country (aside from England) where we’ve seen so many examples of top drawer youngsters fail to meet what looks like their potential. Thierry Henry said he said he has to relearn everything he knew about football under Pep. His second season at Barcelona was also really good. He’s not worthy of inclusion in my opinion. Jack Grealish was a big fish in a small pond at Villa. Everything went through him. He was the first player his teammates looked for. There was much less pressure. At City, Grealish was no longer the main man and hasn’t stepped up. Also, Doku has come in and proved that Pep has no problem with an explosive left winger taking players on and bursting into the box - the things Grealish used to do for Villa. Also, Ederson is absolutely levels above Hart ever was and Hart being replaced has been justified. If Hart was that good, he could have rebuilt himself in the same way Martinez and Leno have elsewhere after being pushed out of Arsenal. But he didn’t, because he probably couldn’t.
Could you do a video on the Most successful Senior Managers with the least Senior Managerial experience I.e Pep Zidane Rijkaard Flick (Henry Nistelroy potentially)
Yeah, the perception Guardiola ruins players is utterly daft. The complete inverse is true! You could make a case he occasionally doesn't favour the right players to put his time & investment in but when you coach the clubs he has, with the resources & expectations they have, this is somewhat inevitable - all the greats in my lifetime have those players that slipped through their fingers. The only two I agreed with here were the top 2 - Kelvin Phillips & Joe Hart.
I agree with the Jesus sentiment. Under a coach like Carlo Anchelotti Jesus could have been a cross between Drygo and Vini. But Pep beat it out of him.
Jesus first knee injury away at palace I think? Changed him in 17/18. Him and Aguero started the season together, after he come back from injury he wasn’t the same tenacious player. I thought this was because he wanted to stay fit for the 2018 wc but he never came back the same player he was the half season in 16/17 and half of 17/18
Alfie that scene where Micha Richards said Phillips was a better passer than Rodri destroyed the heck out of my ears, I had to turn my volume down and skip the whole thing. I’m not sure why I’m telling you this, maybe it’s because I’ve watched about 90% of your videos from start to end and with your channel less usually tends to be more. You haven’t relied on that sort of content before so I don’t think you need to now
I assume he used the chaotically edited version to avoid getting copyright strikes from the original show that broadcast it. It may have been harder to listen to with the layering of voices but that is perhaps the only way to dodge the content detection algorithms.
They mostly didnt fit his football style, so despite having some big trophies in their itinerary, their careers weren't as remarkable under guardiola. See joe cole at chelsea under jose mourinho too.
It’s a joke when people say Grealish was ruined by Pep. It’s not like he was churning out goals and assists at Villa, he was a dribbler and he was creative which he still does at City, only that he’s become a small fish in a big pond but Vice-versa at Villa
He did more in two years for Aston Villa than he has done in 4 at Man City. It was a great move for his wallet it was terrible for personal motivation. The rewards came easy. I don't think it's Peps fault either but he was a far superior player at Aston Villa getting better now it seems that was peak.
Phillips knew what he was doing when he signed for city. There was no way he was getting in that midfield. City needed a player who could cover their English player quota, he was a good player, but he took the money and opportunity to get some silverware against his name.

I am very glad that Germany is slowly but surely finding its way back to how they used to play.
"Ruined" suggests a state of permanent degradation... Not a list of bad seasons and underused options. D-
You totally forgot Mario Götze who came to Peps Bayern in 2013
Philips drop in quality is the starkest he's had nothing but stinkers nevermind mixed seasons and can barely get a game at Ipswich
So you openly admit that the first player in your "Ruined by Pep" list wasn't even ruined by Pep. I have never seen that in any of your videos. And quite frankly, the framing of this video is flimsy at best.
negativity and city is a views cheat at the moment 💔
Not that deep tho is it
alright calm down
@@13aeddan I have to agree. This seems like a video made for the algorithm.
Honestly, as an American, what does "get in" even mean.
Like where are you getting into, what are you getting into, and why.
Something slightly exciting happens
Englishmen: GET INNNNNN GET IN THEREEEEEEE GET FUCKING IN M8 INNIT
??????
pep ruins players confidence and afterwards, when the player performs badly, he looks as if he's correct. He's a twat
Certainly in the issue at City is that they sign players who are the best at their previous club the big fish, only to be then thrown into a pond full of other big fish so inevitably are lost in the shuffle......
You could do one for Mourinho too
Are really going to forget Yaya Touré? The lad was ruined not once, but twice by Guardiola.
watching Grealish play at number 10 for Carsley's England was like going in a time machine back to when he was at Villa and exciting to watch. I agree that Pep has somewhat ruined him but it's difficult to argue that it wasn't worth it overall, and JG would probably agree
Day 8: Every AC Milan striker since Shevchenko ranked
Sunderland going up the derby is back next year
People that think Pep is the greatest manager of all time also think that a Manchester City Premier League is worth the same as Leicesters.
Pretty disappointed in you regarding the « Messi wanted to play centrally ».
Messi as a false 9, was Tito’s idea. Pep asked Messi to play there against Madrid in 2009.
Ibra arrived the next season….
Ruined would imply that they fell off afterwards and you can’t level that at Zlatan.
Can't believe yall forgot Gotze
Love that I would see this video while City are currently 2-0 down to Villa
“Most successful clubs to never play in their nations top division”
My most sympathy is towards Yaya Toure
calling them follically challenged is diabolical
Gabriel Jesus would be fantastic as Spurs right now. If only.
Alfie can you make a video on the 7 footballers with the most complete football careers?
What I mean by that is people who have experience the most total experiences in football, so lower league experience, promotions relegations, cup and league titles national team career, playing in the continental cups and the World Cup, playing in different leagues, ect.
To me an example is someone like Jamie Vardy who has played in the national league, won the championship, won the prem and the FA cup, played in the champions league and for England and in the World Cup
I ask because this is the type of abstract ranking that I can only see your channel making, and because while I can pull Jamie Vardy I fully expect you to share some Iraqi footballer from 1934 who played in Serie 2, Portugal, won the Japanese league and and finished in Colombia
Make it a series involving other managers
Zlatan was just redundant at Barça. They didn't need him and Pep was right to get rid of him. Zlatan was much more suited for the Serie A any way. A win=win I think.
Grealish was never a 100 million player, i think mid table is his max level
That Freddie adu joke just never gets old
70s 80s 90s 00s 10s 20s
Best in football?
Pretty sure those videos have been made a few years ago
Given what the undisputed 3 have in common, it’s time we start acknowledging the antipathy foreign managers have towards English players.
Trust me, Nunes was crap at Wolves. Lots of potential but hardly any final product. Then he went on strike to get his move. What a snake! Great to see the Nunes curse in full effect this season though.
I agree with your initial statement, you really don’t have a lot to pick from, as most of these are a reach.
Gabriel Jesus himself is to blame. He’s too emotional and mopey. He’s also not the first Brazilian we’ve seen look world class as a youngster, only to flop in European football. In fact, it’s hard to think of any other country (aside from England) where we’ve seen so many examples of top drawer youngsters fail to meet what looks like their potential.
Thierry Henry said he said he has to relearn everything he knew about football under Pep. His second season at Barcelona was also really good. He’s not worthy of inclusion in my opinion.
Jack Grealish was a big fish in a small pond at Villa. Everything went through him. He was the first player his teammates looked for. There was much less pressure. At City, Grealish was no longer the main man and hasn’t stepped up. Also, Doku has come in and proved that Pep has no problem with an explosive left winger taking players on and bursting into the box - the things Grealish used to do for Villa.
Also, Ederson is absolutely levels above Hart ever was and Hart being replaced has been justified. If Hart was that good, he could have rebuilt himself in the same way Martinez and Leno have elsewhere after being pushed out of Arsenal. But he didn’t, because he probably couldn’t.
The Redknapp vs Richards moment on 18 mins 👏
Best bald players of all time video please
1:20 The guy on the left needs to shave his scalp. This lack of attention to detail is what’s ruining City!!!
Could you do a video on the Most successful Senior Managers with the least Senior Managerial experience I.e Pep Zidane Rijkaard Flick (Henry Nistelroy potentially)
Can't wait for a video like this with Fergie ruining the legendary Dong Fangzhuo
Yeah, the perception Guardiola ruins players is utterly daft. The complete inverse is true! You could make a case he occasionally doesn't favour the right players to put his time & investment in but when you coach the clubs he has, with the resources & expectations they have, this is somewhat inevitable - all the greats in my lifetime have those players that slipped through their fingers.
The only two I agreed with here were the top 2 - Kelvin Phillips & Joe Hart.
I agree with the Jesus sentiment. Under a coach like Carlo Anchelotti Jesus could have been a cross between Drygo and Vini. But Pep beat it out of him.
I thought Yaya Toure would be here
Jesus first knee injury away at palace I think? Changed him in 17/18. Him and Aguero started the season together, after he come back from injury he wasn’t the same tenacious player. I thought this was because he wanted to stay fit for the 2018 wc but he never came back the same player he was the half season in 16/17 and half of 17/18
Andrea Pirlo ruined Joe Hart, not Pep.
Alfie that scene where Micha Richards said Phillips was a better passer than Rodri destroyed the heck out of my ears, I had to turn my volume down and skip the whole thing. I’m not sure why I’m telling you this, maybe it’s because I’ve watched about 90% of your videos from start to end and with your channel less usually tends to be more. You haven’t relied on that sort of content before so I don’t think you need to now
I assume he used the chaotically edited version to avoid getting copyright strikes from the original show that broadcast it. It may have been harder to listen to with the layering of voices but that is perhaps the only way to dodge the content detection algorithms.
9am on a Saturday, dedication👏
They mostly didnt fit his football style, so despite having some big trophies in their itinerary, their careers weren't as remarkable under guardiola.
See joe cole at chelsea under jose mourinho too.
It’s a joke when people say Grealish was ruined by Pep. It’s not like he was churning out goals and assists at Villa, he was a dribbler and he was creative which he still does at City, only that he’s become a small fish in a big pond but Vice-versa at Villa
He did more in two years for Aston Villa than he has done in 4 at Man City. It was a great move for his wallet it was terrible for personal motivation. The rewards came easy. I don't think it's Peps fault either but he was a far superior player at Aston Villa getting better now it seems that was peak.
very silly
@@jackcollins7061 What exactly did he do at Villa? Can you name it?
Phillips knew what he was doing when he signed for city. There was no way he was getting in that midfield. City needed a player who could cover their English player quota, he was a good player, but he took the money and opportunity to get some silverware against his name.
He's currently got no chance of getting in the Ipswich midfield, 4th choice now
that's not really the point
