    The reason he hasn't gone through a bad patch in his career is because he is such an excellent coach, motivator and tactician!! His tactics are so far ahead of anyone in world football at the moment its unreal.

    We already knew Mourinho's approach becomes stale after a certain number of years, he just accelerated the process in his second spell at Chelsea by alienating almost all of the players.

    Only just too good for Europe, way too good for the PL. You should be able to tell that from the way we apply ourselves :emoticon-0100-smile

    I spent my time looking through all the fixtures because I thought when Bobby asked questions like "Which defender will have scored GW5", I thought he meant on that particular game week, not in any of the weeks before as well.

    I genuinely put Scott Dann because I knew Stoke were poor at defending set pieces last season and Scott Dann was the highest scoring defender last season. I put all this thought into it and I'm still bottom #ffs

    His tactics are nothing new and are used by quite a few other managers. What he excels at is finding/coaching players to fit those tactics perfectly

    A few managers may try to imitate his tactics but none us the same as him, see how his full backs position themselves when they have the ball for one example of the difference between a Guardiola team and any other top team in Europe.

    Are you just trying to poison me off after noticing my expert level of research will ensure I win this thing by the end of the season? <whistle>

    What do you think he does that's different or new?

    By the way, the whole inside fullback thing was done by the Dutch back in the 70s, I think Ajax may have started it but others followed.

    Nothing a manager does nowadays is new, but it's about the combination of tactics they use and how they get the best out of them and the players. If they were all the same, why pay £6m per annum for the top manager?

    I'm pretty sure the Dutch national team of the 70s don't play in Europe 'at the moment', but I could be wrong.

    Either way, if a national team played a certain way would a manager using that style 40 years later be new and innovative ?

    Oh, and Leicester just won the league using 4-4-2, that's another old style but maybe that is why it worked, other teams weren't used to countering it.
