Dont forget the Olympics as well, Brazil, Argentina and Nigeria all qualified, so i'd assume that Iheanacho is a definite as one of the youngsters.

Where's that picture of Kiddo sat alone on the bench at Reading, where someone had photo-shopped a box of them onto the next seat? Still cracks me up.

Indeed lol. One of the greatest ever threads was the photoshop thread :-)

This wouldn't be Pep doing this, Carles Planchart is his analyst

From what's in Pep Confidential it sounds more like Planchart would take first look, curate them a bit and then send it on to Torrent & Pep and then they'd all do their own analysis.

They make a point in the book about analysing independently before discussing what they found together.

Whereas looking at MP, you imagine the analysis consists of a Friday conversation going something like
"Who we playing at weekend?"
"Not sure but Leicester I think."
"Yep it's Leicester. What's the plan?"
"The usual?"
"Yep. Same again."

it has been patently obvious for a long while pellers has no regard for what the oppos bring only what we can do, even barca and bayern we played as if we only mattered and of course paid the price, occasionally we got away with it, like the sergio hat trick to get us out of a hole v bayern, but looking back that was more luck than judgement,
i for one will be glad for inventive structure that pep will bring

Guardiola has played the exact same type of football since he became Barca B manager.

If people think Pellers is a zealot who won't change style, they'll be rioting in the stands when Pep comes.

This is so true. Just like when they played Barcelona last season? And got beat 3-0 with the Messi chip and everything and he played exactly the same way he would against a team at the bottom of the league or at the top of the league but most of the time it works
 
I imagine he'll be salivating over Aleix Garcia, he couldn't be much more of a Pep type midfielder

This is not true.

He completely changed his tactics v Barca & went man for man marking. Bayern do not play the same was as Pep's Barca, they play with the same philosophy but not the same way.

Bayern were actually undone by the defence allowing Messi to win a flick on header from a long ball when Pep's tactics forced them to lump it. Unfortunately he then found out his defenders are total shit without the usual protection.

I read somewhere that Guardiola painstakingly looks into the opposition, and that dictates his game plan.

I suppose we'll all find out next season.
