Premier League 2018/19

Stones and Otamendi = Dumb and Dumber.

At least Stones looks competent on the ball.

that third goal was on Otamendi just being stupid.

Stones and Otamendi = Dumb and Dumber.

Well, that is also a risk of playing from the back in every single action and NEVER hoofing a ball forward, even in danger.

You get possession and control.
You get murdered if you make the tiniest mistake at the back.

Also, this is Pep's 3rd year.
There is a high chance that the opponents will play better against them this year and find more ways to neutralize them and score against them.

Opponents are not dumb.
In each new season, it is harder and harder to win with the same tricks.
No matter how good your tricks are.

Yet when Lenglet and Pique mess up it's all Valverde's fault.

Good to know.

What a pointless post.

This is Guardiola's 4th year at City and all of a sudden opponents have learned to play against his side? Good joke. Execution was the problem today, not the system.

What a pointless post.

Not at all.

When players on our team make a deadly mistake it is attributed to Valverde for some reason.

When Pep goes crashing out of the CL or is on the verge of dropping points due to one it's "poor Pep let down by his dumb players again."

Would love to see the reasoning behind this blatant double standard explained.

Pep has received plenty of criticism for his failures in the Champions League. More than any other coach, really. And it's not like anyone is giving him a free pass for today's disaster either.

Why do you keep lying, shitface? No one ever said anything to that effect.

 

[Devils]

Pukki THE GOAT!

 

[serghei]

Lol, the usual suspects turn a blunder from Otamendi into a problem with Pep's system.

All Otamendi had to do was pass the ball to the keeper.

Time will tell.
Every system ever got weaker over time due to the opponents adjusting to it and evolving.

Again, let's see...

You need to get off this system thing. It makes no sense. Guardiola for example has a philosophy and his "system" results from his general idea about football AND the players he has at his disposal. So its constantly changing. There simply is no system set in stone.

Exactly. Pep's system is basically about passing, pressing and moving. It's like saying passing has been found out. It can't be found out. Passing will always be the most important thing in football, and as long as you control that, and you control the ball you will always dominate and win titles.
