Bruno Guimaraes

This seems a bit churlish, given Begiristain's highly impressive overall record. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Show me a Director of Football anywhere in the world who hasn't made a mistake.

Fair enough

But the problem is not only Philips, he is recruiting many players that Pep doesn't even trust to start in a domestic cup competitions.

There haven't been many players we've recruited that have failed to hit the mark. And when we have there are often mitigating circumstances. Sometimes we can't get our preferred target and have to take a punt to bring in alternatives. That's worked in our favour at times - Dias over Koulibaly for example. And others it hasn't Nunes when Paqueta couldn't be done.

I don't think there's a major issue. We also had to balance losing Gundogan and Mahrez and having Palmer desperate to leave. Three players Pep would have loved to have kept if he could.
