Mbappe likes him apparently.

Could be linked to that and neither he or PSG have great options in summer if they fancy another run at it.

Football is such a cruel sport.


This guy tactically destroyed Pep today and yet it ends in a draw because his players can't even finish their breakfast!

Did well up until he went to a back 5. That one move almost cost them the match. They were a threat on the break before that tactical change.
Should have kept countering - would have had a chance to kill the game 0-2. Instead, Chelsea were camped into their own half with 5 at the back for the last 20 mins

Exactly, should just did a straight swap of Nkunku for Palmer.

He's a good manager, but he's a loser so not a good fit for a club with expectations of winning major trophies. Now if you give him a team with no expectations and pressure he might overachieve with such a team. That's just my opinion.

I don't think the xG stats should be looked at without context either. They concede lot of goals as well.

According to xG and xPTS we should be leading La Liga, and while we do miss a lot of chances, there's no doubt that Xavi is a bad manager and that we play bad football.

First half Chelsea were very good. By full time they were parked in their own 18 yard box.

City had 32 shots, on a normal day they hit 5.

Well, it's invertion of reality to claim that City couldn't finish, so that's why they drew

City were not wasteful, despite their volume of shots. Except for the two Haaland chances, they didn't create good chances.
On the contrary, Chelsea had 5 clear very big ones on the break.

Poch deserves respect.
The whole stupidity that he 'is a loser' is a line parroted by people who had the expectation he wins PL or CL with Spurs, or CL with a broken PSG squad ridden by the three.
Until 2019, same people were calling Klopp 'a loser'
