Man City: Why Pep Guardiola's tactics stopped working amid rise of rapid football

BBC Sport analyses why Pep Guardiola's possession-focused tactics have stopped working amid the rise in rapid, direct football.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Apparently Pep football has been found out and has been superseded by faster direct football. We have been here before, this is no different to the old “that way won’t work in the premier league” when he first arrived. Instead it does work once he has the right players and they have time to adapt. No one could live with it and so they copied it and they still are doing that.

I have to confess that I think the BBC coverage of city is generally quite fair unlike the rest of the media and I don’t think this article is anti-city bias, I just think it is wrong.

The kick and rush merchants have been aided and abetted by the Premier League,with the introduction of 5 subs. All dash the first half, when running on empty put another 5 chasers on.

I thought it was pretty spot on mate and I don`t understand how people can criticise this piece when they talk pretty much what a lot of us have been saying for a few months now.

I can understand to a degree why anything from the BBC is looked on with disdain but as long as it hasn't got Dim Roan or Slimy Stone's name attached, I'm at least minded to read it first before calling them a bunch of nonces.

Because I'm not fucking having some English Lit twat telling me that a guy who won various titles with Sane, Sterling, Jesus and Aguero is some slow possession merchant who can't handle fast transitions and turnovers. That's why.

Yeah, utd beat us twice with fast intense pressure that we couldnt handle. All of the losses in the CL have been due to the PL adopting a style of football that we cannot now handle.

Its bollocks, it fits a narrative. Its easy to come up with them

Here's one off the top of my head... Pep cant manage any team longer than 5 years then he looses focus and has to move on. It fits with his history, it creates a narrative, gullibles fall for it.

And you`re one of those people who get easily upset by anything the media says, whether its, good bad or indifferent. Now thats being gullible.
A lot of us have thicker skins.
 
I brace myself for the articles saying how bad it is for PL for the title race to be almost over in February. wonder if whatsappgroup will churn out articles why the game is dead due to City winning the title as early as mid March.

oh hold on, its not City this time its the dippers.

also it wont be a race where City need to win even in last round of PL to win it like 3-4 times in our title wins but it will be fucking 32nd round of 38 where title will be all but done likely lol.

Why should the club be limited to taking action against what people say after the verdict? If it’s been said previously, has subsequently been established as false, and has the propensity to cause damage to the club’s reputation then on the face of it, it will surely be actionable.

The things that someone like Herbert has said have little or nothing to do with the case.

Unfortunately we've got as little ambition and bite off the field as we have on it.

Swap the teams positions and it’s all about a Liverpool win to give us a title race, today was all about 11points ahead, done and dusted etc. Arsenal very much the media bridesmaids with Liverpool being the bride of Frankenstein

I said at the time it was a disadvantage for us. At first I thought it allows you to swap half the team on a yellow or tired….. obviously no fucker gets yellows against us now.
