Bris Vegas Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 3 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: I could refer you to your comments on Pearson after 9 games but I actually agreed what you was saying about him. I don't see the comparison? Guardiola has improved City already. A number of their players are evidently playing much better now than what they did before and the quality of their football has vastly improved. Pearson on the other hand. Everybody was playing worse, while the football quality was well below the capabilities of our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 15 minutes ago, Bris Vegas said: He spent the most on Stones and Sane - two players who are nowhere near the finished article. I don't disagree with that, but both have improved their squad particularly stones. I think guardiola will build a good team there, but you can't say he didn't spend anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is it's unrealistic to suggest Guardiola can take over an ageing City side who finished 4th on 66 points last season, to go on and win the league in his first season and then dominate for years to come without spending. People have bigged Guardiola up for a reason. The work he did at Barca and then Bayern was phenonemal. But he's not some sort of God. Some of the comments on here in terms of expectations and demands are beyond ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One side played hoofball while the other passed them off the park. Yeah I bet City's owners were regretting their decision to appoint a guy who has won 21 trophies in his past 7 seasons and created a style of play which won plaudits all over the world and not go for Tony Pulis, who incidentally was sacked at Stoke for boring them to tears.

Day Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Looks like Guardiola could do with spending a few hours on FM, 3-0 down after 20....TWENTY minutes v Leicester. Not his fault tho, barely spent anything this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was even forced to put old man Toure up front instead of Iheanacho. Remember when we used to worry about lack of plan B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 to be fair, he's masterminded 2 consolation goals. I cannot fathom how he cannot do as well with this squad as Pellegrini, but is much much much better... apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarodyDCFC Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Crazy how he started the season so well to putting in performances like tonight against Leicester. Strange how John Stones didn't make those kind of mistakes early in the season. Guess the only positive thing is the incredibly consistent performances from sterling, should be the heartbeat of the England team in the future.

Indeed, Mourinho prefers losing 5-0 to Guardiola's teams instead Mourinho's Man Utd are still 9 points behind Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
