Me too, he looked very good to me and I'm surprised he didn't get more game time with Dave occasionally playing on the right side. He had a couple of wobbly games early on, then looked right at home. Strange one. Oh and add Anton Griezmann, Andrea Pirlo !!!! and John Stones to the "Chelsea chasing" list !
Yeah very good player. A little bit like Fabregas, not as technical but more tenacious and good work rate. Would be an ideal partner next to Matic with Fabregas pushed further forward.
Add Robert Kenedy ?? to the list of players we are chasing, and pencil in Raheem Sterling as well apparently. We will definitely need bigger dressing rooms to fit them all in, and the season hasn't ended yet !!
Sorry guys, we are signing Koke and Klopp, cos you know, there are not enough Ks associated with LFC already
Apparently there not enough 'L's associated with you recently. LaLLana, Lambert, BaLoTeLLi, Lucas Leiva, aLLen. Last but not least Losers!!
We should sign Thomas mueller. Forget greizman and the rest. Meuller and pedro, schniederlin too thats all we need would cost 70 mill tops in total.
All good players. Though still think Khedira is a no brainer if he is on a free. Would we get Mueller or Pedro though?
i think pedro would be easier, as je's just not getting enough games at barca...mueller would be a challenge, but he's woneverything at bayern, and i dont think he's a pep player, there's talk of reconstruction at bayern id think he'd be one of the 1st out.
It's interesting that Bayern seem to have dipped in their CL performances, while Barca, playing less "tippy tappy" and far more direct football, look even more potent. Is Pep the manager we all think, and/or is his style now getting outdated?
Pep has never had to build a team before, the next couple of years will be interesting (unless he needs a rest again).
I think he's a good manager, but yes he's being exposed. Obviously, it isn't hard to manage that barca team he had. Most of those players were in their prime and the system was pretty much already set by Rijkaard-who despite being a mediocre manager, got a cl and la liga under his belt. He's gone to bayern and dominated a 1 team league, but he's been found a little bit wanting in Europe. For a club like bayern, the ONLY test is europe. But they aren't getting better there. He won't get an extension, and he'll fade into obscurity after bayern as he knows that he'd get torn a new one in England. My biggest criticism of him is that he's a coward. He knows that man city or United would be too much for him and took the easy way out at bayern.
Have to agree George. Unfortunate thing is he is compared too often with Jose. Pep is not even at Alex or Carlo's level. And people insult Jose by comparing Pep with him...
