Pep Guardiola

[PaulFCB]

I think it's pretty clear what I said, I'm not the one judging Bayern and Pep after a game without half the ideal line-up, do that at any moment of his career at Barca and probably he would've lost most El Clasico's, so in he was in the same situation in 2008 at Barcelona as he was today...he would've probably be shitted on because he lost a Supercup in his first official game and without half the first 11!?!?!?! Oh, please, let's not forget that people here we're bitching about us defending with Adriano CB and getting smashed from the first minutes of the game less than an year ago.
So stop judging Pep, for now he is just at the beginning, and he knows very well he needs to change somethings in order to keep the players motivated, so coming out of the closet after this match like many users here have done might end up with all of you getting a huge slap on the face very very soon.

Bayen will win the league with a 15+ points margin and will reach at the very least the Semi-final of the Champions League. 100% guaranteed.


No point in wishing otherwise, or you will end up dissapointing yourself.

There is never a guarantee for that.They could end up gettin a though Opponent in the quarter finals and get knocked out.

Well, they'll be lucky to face Barca to advance to the Quarterfinals .

They won. I am not here to analyse which team played better today. I am happy with our performance, we played well.

They won 4-2, but I did not have the feeling they were much better than us. But this is football. We will watch the match and work.

Meanwhile, Klopp remained very humble, he said "We were lucky. Bayern is still the best team in the Buli, they are in their own league. Our goal is to compete with the other 16 teams for the runner-up position", something like that.

Humble BVB, not so humble Bayern.

A lot of people buy into Klopp's "personality". He's definitely got character and charisma but he plays a lot of mind/press games of his own, it's not like he's 100% honest or genuine.

So? Still better than an openly cocky manager, no?

And speaking of being honest or genuine, most managers, and players for that matter at least try to appear to be humble. There is nothing wrong with that.

Pep used to say similar things when he was here... Now he's cocky.
That's some obsession.

We really do have an unhealthy amount of spoiled brats here.

Alright Flavia, I will drop it. It seems to me that Guardiola, among a few other people and subjectives are untouchable.

OK, I am wrong and you are right. Guardiola is not cocky. He is absolutely right. BVB is not as good as it appears to be, they got lucky today.

I never got into the merit of him being right or wrong. I didn't watch the game, so I don't know. But he did use to say similar things at Barça, when Barça lost. So it's quite weird to see him being criticized for this now.

To be fair, Pep is right when saying that BVB wasn't much better, or better at all, than Bayern.
But they weren't worse either, which is the surprising factor. It was an even game, in which BVB used their chances and Bayern couldn't. Seems like Bayern is not as unbeatable as the (German) press makes it out to be, at least not yet. (Thank God, but that's my personal opinion). Great game from BVB, I am so happy they won. And 4-2! Not bad. Good game from Bayern too, though.

In my opinion, if you think Pep is cocky, I don't know what you call Hoeneß or Sammer. Of course Pep isn't as humble as Jupp was, but nobody is.

As for Kloppo, I wouldn't exactly call him humble. He's just down-to-earth, has a great attitude towards football and is a fair loser. He seems like he's not as dead serious about certain things as others are and takes things as they come, but that doesn't mean he can't be cocky. But the good thing is, he mostly shows his cockyness in his sarcasm/jokes.
