You can do that about any manager though. Ancelotti and Ferguson won Champions Leagues in Cristiano Ronaldo’s peak. Shock, horror the team with the best players often wins the Champions League.
He was poor as he has been since he returned from injury, I wonder if he is fully fit. The key test will be next season to his true level, whether he can recreate 2022/23 again, or this is closer to his level at the elite level.
You could argue he's one of England and Manchester City's most important players last 5 years, one of the only players in the world you can generally rely on to cancel out the likes of Mbappé and Vinicius.
It’s never easy when down to 10 men at this level but it feels like he didn’t make sufficient changes to hold on, just felt like they tried to play the same way, but with a man down and PSG picked them off.
With a two goal lead, he probably...
Terrible examples in terms of football being too tribal. Klopp wants to retire and even if he changed his mind, he would have his pick of jobs. Bayern Munich and Germany for example, maybe Real Madrid or Barcelona. Putting biases aside, United...
Yet they've only got 100 points in 1 season out of 8? And only one team in 120 years has got 100 points. Seems a completely unrealistic standard to be hitting all the time. 90-95 is more realistic for their best.
Man City average 89 points a season under Guardiola, they're on course for 87 points this season. It's about normal standard, but 100 points was probably a one-off that won't be repeated.
