Another great video Alfie, congrats on almost hitting1000th video. So much consistency in how great your content is. You inspired me to make my own football content
4:05 I haven't been following Chygrynskiy's career after the Barca stint so until now I wasn't aware of the fact that he'd become Jesus in his later years.
Pep's biggest weakness is his signings. Look everywhere he's gone and his best players are never actually his. Everyone he brings in flops. I heard true Georgie say it perfectly "he's an amazing coach but he's a poor manager"
for what he was, he was fine, we got him for very little and just as a rotation option while younger players like sane got used to the league. Not a great signing but not nearly as bad of any of these seven
Stones was good in 2017/18 and 2018/19 until his hamstring injury against Leicester which carried on for longer than expected which ruined his conference causing him to play worse
Don’t think it’s 1 genius. All seem to have gone downhill after leaving Leicester. It’s the actual system Leicester have in that’s successful. Would love to see a video on that system tho
given that this is the 1000th video and that there has been various landmark videos in the past (ie 100 greatest players of all time), is it possible for a petition to make a video of the 100 greatest sides of all time?
Pep Guardiola is a manager, which means in most of the transfer he had something to do it, I'm not saying he had everything to do with it, but he had something to do with it. While a head coach, for example head coaches in Watford includes Nigel Pearson, Hayden Mullins, Javi Gracia, etc. Does not have anything to do with the transfer
@cogamers84 Honestly depends on the clubs structure more than anything, think someone like Guardiola works in tandem with his DoF in the final phase of recruitment, and greenlights most of the scouted players to actually pursue.
I don’t think Stones has been that bad for City I’m a city fan as well. 16/17 he was shaky, 17/18 was amazing 18/19 good 19/20 mixed bag 20/21 so far so good
Could Guardiola be one of the most over-rated coaches of all time? He's only ever had the best of the best and more money than Croesus wherever he's been. I would rate José Mourinho above him because despite his failings he has shown he can get results at very different clubs under a wide range of circumstances. Yes he's a bellend at times but I think if you dumpped both of them into a League 2 club Mourinho would get them promoted and playing better long before Guardiola would.
"yes he is a bellend at times"...you can't just sit and shrug that off like nothing happened but slate Pep for spending money when Jose has also done the exact same thing right from his stint at Chelsea. The amount of times he has fallen out with players and staff can't just be ignored like it is some minor inconvenience.
"He has only had the best of the best" that's like saying that Messi isn't that good because he scored 91 goals in a season for Barca and not for West Ham. By your logic I can say that Sam Allardyce is as good a manager than Klopp and Pep since he never had the players the other two have had. I don't understand what you want,for you anything less than a quadruple is a failure for Pep,but then complain about him spending money. This can't work both ways. You can't win trophies with average players.
@Aditya Luthra At Porto and Inter Jose had great players. Don't buy into this rubbish that he had Sunday League players there. At Inter too he had fantastic players. Pep isn't praised for winning the treble with Eto'o but when Jose does the same then he becomes the greatest of all time. The hypocrisy is so visible. Also he managed to drag a title winning squad into a relegation battle.
I think it was probably 11 years ago I strucked by Campeonato Brasileiro Série A highlight show and saw Keirrison banged some goals over there aged only 20 and then the day he went to Barcelona I had great hope for him, sadly it didn't worked out and his carrer flopped ever since, even worse is his son died only 2 years old :((
Marlos Moreno is a Colombian striker who had a very promising debut, to the point of being in the Atlético Nacional squad (alongside Davison Sanchez, now at Spurs) that won the 2016 Copa Libertadores. He was transferred to ManCity for 4.57M, and now he can barely play at the Belgian 2nd division
Pep cemented Bayern Munich top at the Bundesliga is an interesting way of saying: "He didnt actually fail to wake up at the morning." He took over a treble winner from Heynckes and managed to at least hold them to stay double winners. Which is not success by Bayern standards but the expected minimum. He was brought in to win the Champions League and failed 3 times in spectacular fashion on the semis by overthinking and changing formations out of the blue.
Day 31: 7 Asian or African teams that could compete in a big 5 league. Or squad of players at asian or african teams that could compete in the champions league
I don't particularly agree that John Stones is one of Pep's worst signings. He unfortunately struggled with injuries and that's for sure a setback. But when he plays, he's quite good. He was very solid at the World Cup for England also. I honestly think it's unfair to put John Stones in a list like that when there's factors that hasn't made him show how good he actually is.
7 players we were totally wrong about So it can be someone that had high potential but flopped (Ex: Freddy Adu) or a player that had low expectations on him, and turned out to be class
Well if you see John Stones now you would realize that he's not one of Pep's worst signing. He had injuries last season which was why he was mostly out of form but he's showing enough quality this season
Pep doing good with developing defenders? He never did good developing in defenders. They always end up forgetting how to defend. I remember an Italian footballer(forgetting his name) also accused Pep that he destroyed defenders. Considering how most defenders are playing since Barcelona being famous about ball playing and defenders training a hell lot of ball playing and forget how to defend, I agree.
Think you might have to reconsider your number 4 come to the end of the season. Stones' on fire at the moment. Let's hope he continues that today in our game against Liverpool.
its weird that a Mendy apeared in Real Madrid around the same time, at fisrt i thought Madrid had bought him and wondered why ,cause hes terrible...but it turns out it was another mendy and they´re both equally bad, and play the same position i guess... i just wondered where the hell they came from and end up in such big clubs
The thing is that since leaving Barcelona Guardiola's achievements have been rather average. I'd say Roberto Mancini actually did better and had a greater impact at City than Pep
Interesting to watch this now in Summer '22. When we now know off field issues were what held Stones back in those first two seasons under Pep....and, er what we have heard about Mendy since too 😬 Overall I'd agree that Pep operates best when he has to find a solution with what he has, rather than buying that solution, but the recent business at City has at least brought in the right 'profile' of player
Agreed on Mendy. They need to move him off. As for John Stones - love the guy, but I wish he’d eliminate the mistakes and do better. He and Ake could be very good.
I don't know why John Stones is on the list. He's a good player and has done well outside of the first season, true for most of the defence. And as Pep so elegantly said, he has "balsh". Not becoming the greatest centreback in the world doesn't make him a bad signing.
