Savage: Mourinho would be annihilated for Pep's tactics
Robbie Savage believes "supposed" genius and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola should have been criticised more for his tactics in Manchester City's 4-2 loss at Leicester City in a "diabolical performance".

Former Foxes midfielder Savage, 42, thinks the team struggled to work out their manager's tactics. He said: "If a guy came down from Mars and watched that game they would think the Man City manager was clueless!

"There was a point when [Yaya] Toure came on as centre forward where all the players were looking at the bench thinking, 'What on earth? Where is he going to play'."

Savage, a former trainee at Manchester United, suggested that Guardiola's reputation from previous clubs Bayern Munich and Barcelona means people are less likely to question him.

He said: "If that was Jose Mourinho at Leicester he would have got absolutely annihilated. But it's Pep Guardiola - who's supposed to be a genius."

Don't agree with Savage in many circumstances.

But here - I agree with him. How Pep is still in the title & Jose is nowhere is beyond me.

It should be other way.
 
to put it mildly - 'Not a fan of Big Sam'.
But - he has proven record of saving teams.

I can see Palace pushing for top half under Big Sam.

This season gets better & better.
 
Half of the season in the books now.

#1 Jose looks shoe in for Title - especially with the way Manu bias is back in the last 3 or 4 weeks. (2 Red cards missed for Rojo in 2 matches, Spammers red card, Offside goal) etc. The list is listless & endless <doh>

#2 Conte - Spuds cup final is a blessing in disguise. Hope Conte fixes us and gets us top 4.

#3 Klopp - Top four for Klopp looks possible. But don't overrule a screw up yet.

#4 Arsene - Another 4 spot very likely.

#5 Poch - I slighly underestimated Spuds. Spuds will finish 5th or 6th more likely. My preseason predo of 8th for Spuds looks a mistake <ok>


Top five for now. Feel free to quote your Manager & their team ratings here.

I think - in a long time we have a star ensemble of great managers in EPL.

Expendables cast has nothing on this group.

Can we predict their performance and rank them for this season?

Below, my rating of the managers. Likely that is the order in which their teams might finish.

1) Jose Mourinho - 1st for Manu with Pogba / Matic. 2nd without them will get Jose 1st ranking.

2) Tony Conte - Top 6 for Chelsea without major signings will get 2nd spot. With few additions Top 4 will get him 2nd.

3) Pep Guardiola - City's 2nd spot will get Pep 3rd spot in my manager rating.


4) Jurgen Klopp - Top 5 for Pool will be an improvement, but he can take Pool further. His rating will improve.

5) Claudio Ranieri - Top 10 for Foxes will get Claudio 6th rank.

6) Arsene Wenger - Customary 4th for Goons

7) Ronald Koeman - Top 6 with Toffees will place Koeman at 7th here.

8) Mauricio Poch - TBH, Spuds overachieved like Lester last season. Top 8 will get Poch 8th here.

9) David Moyes - Top 10 for Mackems will get Moyes 9th here.


What do you think?

Unerringly accurate...particularly number 6 <whistle>
 
so virtually 12 points separates us & Jose. Going to be a very difficult now for us to hold on to title.

Manu is used to rob players & games from other teams as explained today.

with the best manager ever with them now - it is just a formality. Tight race for the title. Please discount City, Pool & Goons from the title race - plain & simple.

it is us vs Jose all the way now.
