Luis Enrique | PSG Manager

Nah I've been saying this for a decade.

Weird thing is, united fans have been saying the same about city. So you (not you, united fans in general) see city for what it is, but their mirror image psg somehow gets a pass. It's just strange. I want all clubs led by criminals to lose, always, and their achievements are hollow and can't be compared to the work of regular managers.

But this broad generalization ignores the fact that PSG have lowered their wage bill significantly and spent well less than yous since Enrique took over.

PSG have had oil money for years now. He has transformed them into what looks like a pretty unbeatable team

To think they got Joao Neves for not much more than we paid them for Ugarte. Absolute madness

Helps when you can rest your big players for half the league games.

I think he has pride to not just follow in Peps footsteps again.

He didn't follow them in Barcelona.

Enrique arrived after Tata Martino in 2014.

And his success at Barcelona was a different blueprint than Pep's.

As with City, United fans don’t look favourably upon the PSG ownership. But when it comes to Europe, most United fans want any English club fecked off out of the CL as early as possible and if it means getting behind the team most likely to rod Arsenal in the final, then so be it.

In the highly unlikely event it’s a United v PSG final next year you’d support us would you?

It was very similar just a bit more direct.

I'd support spurs against any oil club.

Many of us despise what the oil clubs represent and their successes*.

I'd fully support you in the final, but almost all your social media fans are arrogant, insufferable bellends.
Claiming your current side were better than our 08 side before our 26 side outplayed you.

It's only gonna get worse if you win it.

Social media highlights dickheads, that's all that is. Fans all come from the same place, so the idea one club or another would concentrate a higher percentage of dickheads is silly.

That’s just weird. Also a bit rich coming from someone who supports a club that has “Emirates” plastered all over everything from your shirt to the name of the stadium.

It's not weird for me at all. I love seeing spurs lose but I respect them as a club. I despise psg and city.

And yeah, I'm not 100% pure, I also have a chinese phone and sometimes I don't recycle btw. I can tell you though, if a criminal and terrorist sponsor bought arsenal, I would move on from the club in a heartbeat.

I used to find Robbie and Claude likeable.
I guess it's probably your time to win it and PSG will be facing a better defence than they're used to.
You're gonna have to hope your attack can raise their game.

The composition of the team was different

Their greatest strength under Enrique didn't lie in midfield. It was MSN.

Yes, they were still dominant in possession but it's not the same team at all. He didn't come in after Pep.

Aye... it was also a deliberate decision by Enrique and the team to play more vertical.

They still had Biscuits and Iniesta in midfield (and Rakitic), but Xavi had dropped off a tad bit. Plus I think by this time teams were better equipped to play against pure tiki taka.
 
We should keep open communication and set up a long term courtship for him the way City did with Pep. His eventual choice of club should he come over to the EPL will have a major impact on the landscape of the league.
 
If we could add anyone player or manager to the club this summer it would be him.

I still have yet to see anyone say this. Just people twisting what Theo Walcott said.
 
Fantastic manager, such a likable person (was like that as a player as well).. Hopefully he can get another CL to his name.
 
I do wonder if he came to the PL, how many seasons a team of his would be able to play with that pressing intensity before injuries and fatigue set in.

As Oliver Kahn moaned before yesterday game. PSG can rest their star players for domestic games, as the level of competition in their domestic league is quite poor. Therefore ensure their players are at their best and well rested for CL games.

My presumption would be in PL, he'd have his team start at a blistering rate, go a goal up or two and then take foot off the pedal and coast through rest of the game.

If Utd want to have any chance of landing Enrique in the best few seasons, they need to put together a squad that he thinks he can coach and win with.

That’s a bit rich don’t you think.
 
Apart from the fact that Bayern wrapped it up far earlier this season than PSG, and the fact they in general win more often than PSG win in France, that argument is also ridiculous because every time PSG/Bayern get knocked out of Champions League early, it is because they are not tested properly in league, but every time they win, it is because they have an easy league. Can't be both ways, can it?

Exactly.

the major change was moving Messi from false 9 to RW role, which basically birthed the legendary MSN frontline, obvoiuosly it was not a rigid LW-ST-RW front 3 and they moved around alot but Enrique made it clear that it was not gonna be Messi at false 9, which caused friction becasue Messi wanted to have his free role
 
Has he signed a new contract yet? I'm still holding out for the faintest chance he fancies a new challenge after back to back CLs
 
maniak said:
OK then, oil money has nothing to do with instant success, got it.
Click to expand...
How is this instant success though? They've been trying to crack the CL for years and only managed it under Enrique.
 
It gets overlooked because of the shitshow many of the subsequent moves have been, but it can't be overstated how catastrophically stupid Chelsea's new owners are for turning down Luis Enrique in favour of Pochettino

Haven’t Bayern won it way before PSG? Sounds salty.

Give Enrique his dues that his star players press like mad rather than having egos in this day and age.
 
I'd hope they sound him out now and even tell him they'd want him next summer and will prepare the club for his arrival, isn't that what City did with Pep?

We absolutely should sound him out and prepare the club for his arrival if he wanted to come in 2-3 years.

But I highly doubt we do that.

Yeah by all accounts he was keen on the Chelsea job but the owners were afraid that he didn't have PL experience and was coming off of managing an international side. Absolute idiocy
Click to expand...
That Spain side did seem to lack some verve going forward under Enrique, but they also lacked quality.

He's definitely a better coach now than he was while managing Barcelona too.

The PL experience tag putting clubs off players or managers will never stop being funny to me.
