Pep Out

[Neville Kneville]

Doesn't matter how teams are set up anywhere in the world. Barca, real and atletico will beat you

Well no they won't but as I already said, they are 3 of the best teams, around who rarely face much of a challenge from the rest, hence my original comment that their defendrrs are not used to playing on the back foot. Same with Bayern.

It would be the same anywhere, they dominate because they are 3 of the best teams in the world. Their defense wouldn't really be tested in any league going by that logic

Bit concerning that he said to the Bayern players he'd cut their balls off if they lost in extra time!
Yes you need aggression but it has to be controlled to an extent that your not upsetting the players. We don't need another Mancini hot head.

Not true imo.

Does that really concern you?

It is, if they are doing this against teams going deep in the Europa league one who has won it last two years what other leagues are good enough?

4th placed Villarreal knocked off the team challenging for serie A for example.

That is exactly what we need for a new era,the time is to push them hard and move to the next level

I am outraged and embarrassed in equal measure by that comment.

A little yes. MP is a cool character but perhaps to laid back. Pep is going to be brilliant I know but we are in an era where players get the managers sacked if it goes tipped up and they get upset. Aggression has to be controlled

It seems to have been just right last night. Players wanting to bust a gut and go the extra mile is exactly what's been missing.
I don't think we have to worry about him going all 'Mancini' on us.
