You are making presumptions about me from your misinterpretation of what I said. Pep bought those world class players and made them the best team in the world. Plenty of managers have access to literally hundreds of millions and produce nothing special. So, Pep is head and shoulders above the rest. You’re also correct that great managers can get the best out of players, but, would Pep be happy with the levels they showed when it mattered, regardless of tactics? I don’t think so.
Regarding overrated, of course they were overrated if you look at how utterly devoid of class all of your performances were. Is that exclusively down to Southgate? I don’t think so. That’s the easy route. Blame the manager. The bottom line is, so called world class/ brilliant players took the park for half a dozen games and any fair minded football lover saw the square root of fuck all world class or brilliant, Stones apart. They were all shit. For six games. Now you can blame Southgate for that, I don’t. Players have to step up and show why the panels on tv called them brilliant players.
You make the assumption that because I question the quality, you actually think I rate Southgate and Pep on a similar level. Not at all.
Pep is by far and away the best in football right now. But here’s the thing. With all those “brilliant players”, you would expect higher levels of performance, regardless of who was in charge. Only Stones reached that. How could he play so well under Southgate, if it was all his fault?
I know what I watched. You watched it too. Your players are either overrated, or don’t have the mentality or balls to turn up when it matters. Take your pick.
