Over a 38 game season he's got basically not matches that deal with this kind of pressure
That's ultimately the difference I think. The pressure gets to him, and as such rational thought just goes straight out the window every time
Think you are right.
He is not going to win the Champions League with us.
Not a chance, he can not help himself.
He fucked us last season against Lyon, he fucked us tonight against Chelsea. Going back even further he fucked us playing Monaco away when we went out, we had a healthy first leg leea, and went there and conceded for fun. There was that shit show at Anfield when the tie was all but over in the first 30 minutes of the first Leg. And after a valiant effort in the second leg, we never recovered. Then Spurs away where we needed an away goal and finished with KDB on the Bench, cost us in the second leg.
He just doesn't look like ever succeeding in the competition.
I thought he had come of age this season. Found a formula that was successful in Europe. We even broke a record onthe way to the final.
And right at the final hurdle he can not help himself again, and becomes his own worst enemy changing a proven winning formula to an experimental unproven formula.
We will never, ever, get a better chance than this.
And we blew it, because he bottled it "again"
I think it was why Bayern were glad to see him go
The domestic success he delivered, was marred by his abject tactical failure in Europe.
It is where we are at now. We have a manager who will win us Titles. That is enough for some fans
But he will never deliver in Europe no matter what side he has.
Very telling his only success in Europe came with the best team to ever grace a Football field in the last 100 years. Nothing would have stopped that Barcelona side becoming European Champions.
If it is European Success our owners want. Then they might need to rethink.
