My own eyes tell me that he isn't using Haaland to best effect.
Haaland's body language tells me that he doesn't think that Pep is using him to best effect.
I think Pep is so committed to his system that he has become 'risk averse' to the extent that possession is now more important than goals. As a result, much of our play has become tedious and boring.
Increasing pace, using quick wingers, and really supplying Haaland would improve results and entertainment value.
Fair enough. Must just be me believing what came out of the Bayern hierarchy who appointed Pep to bring them the CL again, and Franck Ribery who basically thought Pep was all talk.
It doesn't change the fact that Pep doesn't seem to be making best use of Erling Haaland, and whose last two City teams have produced a grand total of one shot on target in 180 minutes.
yes but you were saying that he didnt use the players he had at Bayern properly , which it what I commented on.
You are trying to justify your comments by comparing the playing style of the two teams .
And your eyes and opinions don't make it fact, just uour opinions.
If Pep were to come to the same conclusion as you, I expect he will try and alter our style of play.
You're right, it's all about opinions. Mine count just as much as yours. If you think we're playing well this season, that's fine.
Whatever conclusion Pep does come to, I hope it involves more incisive football and that he does it soon.
As matters stand, in my opinion, we're boring and predictable, and wasting much of the talent available to him. Things need to improve quickly.
Yeah the last few games have been bad
He’s still the leading goalscorer in Europe by nearly 10 goals so let’s not get too carried away by how badly he’s being used.
Wasn’t really my point and he’s still 30 odd goals behind
Who?It's becomes way more impressive knowing Messi has played 100-120 fewer games lesser than Cristiano.
@Maldeika has said differently to that. She’s a Bayern from from München and I’ve seen her say that Bayern never had more dominance and quality of passing, goals scored and points won than when Pep was there.
Be interesting to hear her take on Pep and how he used and worked with Lewandowski and how Bayern played around him. Pep was the one who signed Lewandowski after his first season coaching Bayern. In his first season with him, he scored 25 then the second season he scored 42.
Bearing in mind Pep had Robben Ribery Coman and Douglas Costa as well as Müller around Lewandowski. In a game against Juventus in the Champions League Pep brought on Coman and had both Costa and Coman as two left wingers in that game all geared towards Leeandowski being the man to get the ball to late in the game and in extra time. Never seen tactics like that before or since.
We haven’t really seen that yet from our players or Pep’s tactics with Haaland.
It doesn't take much for players to get fed up if they're not involved in games because of tactics.
A disheartened Haaland won't be short of clubs prepared to make him their main man.
Fucking hell, grow up.
To behave like this after a couple of games isn't even funny, it's just pathetic.
