Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

[OntarioBlue]

Excellent article on the BBC website this morning about Pep.

Is it just me that has noticed that in recent weeks the media seems to be moving away from their anti-City bias ? Some of the stuff I have read recently has been almost gushing.

Manchester City: 'Hysterical and 'hated at times' - Pep Guardiola is the greatest

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is the greatest of all time, says Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.

He did it without Messi Xavi Iniesta

Quite sure he winked at the trophy as he walked passed it, nice touch. Like seeing an old friend.

Football will be talked about in terms of game before and after Pep.

And now the great Pep has 18 major finals in his managerial career with:

16 wins, 2 losses. (The 1 loss was in Copa Del Rey against Real Madrid where Barcelona had absolutely dominated the game, possession was something like 76% to 24%, chances were 20 to 2, yet in a counterattack we all know what happened and Barcelona lost 1-0. The other loss with Chelsea with us.)

Goals are 37 for Pep's teams and 6 against.

3 Champion Leagues, 11 Championships, 6 domestic Cups, 9 domestic 2nd tie cups and 6(not counting them as major finals and not inside the above statistics) of UEFA super cups and FIFA world cups.

Here's to you Pep.. Cheers!

BTW Inzaghi unexpectedly showed the world how to adjust against the new 3-2-2-3 formation. But it was solid defensively for the most part and got us over the line.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Pep wants new players for a new system. And so we'll evolve again under the best manager City could ever have.

The greatest and one of us.
