But it's a deflection. Klopp and Guardiola are better managers. It's as simple as they. A board's job is to give you players. They don't dictate tactics.
OSG is dealing with the same incompetent board as Mourinho did, yet he's getting more out of his players.
To me, it sounded like a desperate attempt to shift the narrative and explain why Klopp and Guardiola are doing better. Not because of their acumen but because of their environment.
I love this. In short, “because I didn’t do it then, I therefore couldn’t possibly have done it at another time.”That's sort of what he said. " Did I fight with Matic? Ask Matic. Mattarazi. I did not fight with materazzi. I can sit here for one hour and tell you players I do not fight with."
Then went on about how Guardiola and Klopp "they give them luxuries that I don't have. By this I don't mean a player. I don't talk about what players I have. I talk about structure of the club. They have structure. In the next club I sit down with (and I have now 3 offers already) I will not talk about which player they have. This and that . I will talk them about structure."
It was tough to listen to without cringing.
He has, which has been apparent for awhile (especially for those watching him for Spain when he was still getting regular caps), but I hadn’t realised how much he has lost, as Alonso isn’t exactly quick and Pedro was quite literally sprinting in a straight line beside him.Haven't really watched Pedro that much over the last couple of seasons but was aware he'd gone downhill, seems to have lost his pace which would explain it.
There were plenty on here that wanted him, even after the Chelsea 2 debacle...I love him mainly because he's never been anywhere near us .
Same ref, Klopp runs on to the pitch to celebrate a late winner against Everton....nothing.
Today Nuno does the same for Wolves and he sends him off.
Sounds about right.

I can still remember the debates on here where many advocated that he would be the perfect manager to replace Pellers.I love him mainly because he's never been anywhere near us .
Should be taking into account that Benfica are at their lowest point since the 1940s at the moment and are being investigated for huge levels of match fixing. No top coach would touch them. That's his level right now.Laughed at that because it probably isn't wide off the mark. Benfica are one of the 3. The other two might well be similar statured clubs.
