We'll have to disagree on this. I think Mandzukic may be slightly better than Lewandowski in the air if at all, but Mandzukic is not Drogba come again. I think Dzeko is better in the air when you are putting balls into the box than him.aguero93:20 said:Crystal I know you're a big fan of lewa but the only striker I've seen a strong in the air as Mandzukic is probably Falcao. The rest of the game Lewa is the better striker, but if you're going to swing high crosses in you'd be far better off having Mandzukic in the box.

It was a real shock (although I thought Madrid might originally squeeze through) but Munich aren't looking as clinical as they were now they won the Bundesliga at a canter. He needs to make them hungry again.

I've already posted elsewhere about this, and much earlier too.. I wouldn't be surprised if he's out of the game altogether in another two years.

Could see this happening too. More so than motivating the Bayern players, Pep himself looked utterly defeated after Ramos opened the scoring yesterday.

you might be better at reading the body language and subtleties in human behaviour, but I'm going off a conversation I had in NYC over a year ago.. Pep's a spent force (I was told) and I was led to believe is probably on a very short fuse
Spot on. And too much of the same thing becomes monotonous and in the end just completely boring.<br /><br />-- Wed Apr 30, 2014 7:46 pm --<br /><br />johnson28392 said:Too many long balls is extreme, too many short balls is extreme too.
I've not read it but aren't the very first words in his book "Pep Guardiola"?CityStu said:MCFCinUSA said:CityStu said:Could see this happening too. More so than motivating the Bayern players, Pep himself looked utterly defeated after Ramos opened the scoring yesterday.

Have you read Zlatan's autobiography? Whilst obviously only telling one side of a story, it gave quite an insight into the type of manager Pep was/is.
