It is fascinating how these so called superstar managers cannot adjust their system for the opponent of the day.

Stunningly Naive from Pep.
The same Pep that notorious for tweaking and adjusting to the opposition? Hes created about a million new formations to adapt to the opposition. Personnel at the back are shambles. That's his issue.
Usually but not today. He played the perfect defensive system to compliment their attack and gameplan. Today he should have tweaked, instead of sticking to his guns.![]()
He did tweak. Look at the personnel in defence and the formation. He just got it wrong. The personnel at the back are shambles. He needs 1 top class central defender and new full backs.
I've maintained the stance that he was overrated since he joined bayern.Is it too late to say : Welcome to the Premier League Pep?
I don't expect anyone to remember all the **** I say, but I always said Pep is not a world class manager UNLESS he can prove himself in the Premier. I will not rush into this and say : "HA! I told you he's ****!", but he's definitely showing he is not the second coming of Jesus in football like so many have seen him a few years back.
I predicted when he signed for City, his next stop is PSG. Easy league, no opponent, what more can you ask for?
(In case it's a mistery, no, I don't like the man, nor his style)
Are you serious? This is a knee-jerk reaction. The guy has nothing to prove. Guardiola has improved both Barcelona and Bayern Munich playing some of the best football you'll ever see.Is it too late to say : Welcome to the Premier League Pep?

The media did make it out to be the 2nd coming of Jesus

So basically we are saying here that anyone could win the Bundesliga and Heynckes is underated becuase he won the treble???
So hang on a minute, Heynckes won fuckall in his first season at Bayern in that spell, runners up in the league, cup and European Cup, oh but anyone can win the bundesliga its easy.
we underate Heynckes and should be given more credit becuase he then went on to win a treble? Pep ripped up Barcelona team got rid of the bad eggs started again,promoted youth players who had been playing the third tier of spanish football. Goes on to win a treble with Barceloan TWICE in what is ultimately a tougher domestic league to win in the Bundesliga also creating the best club side we have ever seen and likely to see in not just mine but many peoples opinion but he aint all that?
#FMBase logic in a nutshell, done with this convo now its boring, like Mike said its somekind of snobbery you lot can carry on
And yet Rijkaard the season before failed hard, the barceloan fans were waving the qhite flag at matches in protest that season because things had unravelled so much. Lets stop pretending that top level management is easy if that was the case Chelseas title winning side wouldn't have finished tenth last season, or Moyes would have won the league again following on from Fergie.
also from the players you mentioned going off memory
Thuram was 35+ and retired
Deco went to chelsea
ronaldinho to Milan
Xavi was on the verge of leaving
iniesta and messi wasn't the world class players they went on to become
Busquets was promoted from the B side and pep had coached him well but was largely unproven as that barca b side was in the third division
Pique again largely unproven
So its not like he walked into a brilliant all encompassing team which he guided the next season to a treble I think it was (League, cup and UCL)
A Barcelona team that was built by Ryjkaard that bored you to death (let's just pass the ball till the opponent falls asleep, great football indeed), and a Bayern that was tearing everything apart already under Heynckes. He is a very good manager, but he inherited in both cases some top teams.
