Both are factual.

PS: I didn't actually say he needs time (which coach doesn't need time?), more specifically he needs the players that can keep the ball like he wants.

Did he need more time when he "had never had a good start as this?" [Sep 2016]

Or does he need more time now that "he needs players that can keep the ball like he wants"? [Dec 2016]

Can you read or is it over your head? I didn't claim he needed time (but every coach needs time).

Green4Life said

I don't see City being molded into an EPL version of barca - a team that rarely adjusts it's philosophy for any opponent. Even in Germany, he made adjustments to his philosophy so, I expect him to adjust his philosophy to the English league in due time.

I replied:

Pep will build a City team that plays the way he wants to play. The problem isn't the EPL, but that he needs the type of players that can play the way he wants. He changed the way Bayern played, he will do the same with City.

So I was disagreeing with the claim that Pep would change his philosophy. I said he would get the players that fit the way he wants to play rather than change to fit with the players he has.

This has nothing to do with your song and dance.

After suggesting I was saying he needs time, time for you to shift to another idiocy.

He's a great coach, but he needs to self-censor....all this is a bit silly

Yep i also don't understand why he does this, he doesn't need to do it, we already know he can coach teams that play good football, but he must understand there are others coaches who were doing this in England before he even started his coaching career.

Sometimes it's as if Pep reads Cybereagles anti-EPL posts by Yujam and CiC

No they wont. Not with the more even financial field in the EPL and the tougher games. They will win some but a league with Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City is not a league that one walks over.
These arguments are redundant. I once had to post the record of Spanish teams against English opposition in European competitions and it didn't support your position. Head to heads b/w Real/Barca and English opposition have usually been in favour of the Spanish. The record of the Arse, Manure and City (with exception of the last game) against Barca has been embarrassingly one-sided. Only Chelski have put up a real fight.

So on the basis their European record head to head, I think Real/Barca will win most games against the teams you mentioned. I guess the tricky games are at the Britannia on a cold night.

CIC, This is the kinda logic that Pep had in his head before he came to Man City.

In the words of Albert Johnson, Thun and Kicko "And it come right back around to the ground on it. now its time to face your opponent".

The one everybody's been waiting for, Peperenpe brings his baby o, before the mighty Beloved. Needless to say, after City are smashed, the camel's back will bend to such degree od lordosis as to have the P60 begin counting the dirham.

I watched the Arse vs Everton last night - 2 foreign coaches serving up full English. In England you play like the English. Pep's trying to change that with Bravo, Stones, playing from the back, etc and he's losing what's left of his hair. He either changes the game or the game changes him.

La Révolution (0-1) Arse

direct football = 1 offside goal
tippy happy = no goal

Pedro names toughest Premier League opponent

The former Barcelona man was most surprised by Tottenham left-back Danny Rose and rates him as the hardest player he has come up against

Pedro has named Danny Rose as the toughest opponent he has faced in the Premier League.

'Alli worth more than £50m'

The former Barcelona man has rediscovered his best form after a lacklustre debut campaign in English football, becoming a key performer in Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 approach at Chelsea.

Pedro has four goals in his name this season, the pick of the bunch being a 25-yard strike against Tottenham, as Chelsea set the pace at the top of the Premier League under their new manager.

The 29-year-old spoke about his experiences in the Premier League in an in-depth interview with the Telegraph, with interviewer Matt Law revealing Pedro revealed that Spurs left-back Rose took him by surprise most in England and rates him very highly.

On Chelsea's current 12-game winning run, Pedro told the Telegraph: "It's not new for me, but it's difficult in this league. It's different here. At Barcelona, it's normal to win most of the games and sometimes it's too easy.

RUMOURS: Chelsea want £35m-rated Hernandez

"But the Premier League is very competitive and strong, and for this reason, 11 wins is a significant achievement. The record is 14, no? Only three wins more [before their win against Bournemouth], but that will be difficult. It’s a very good objective to get this record.

"It's very different in Spain. Barca have many opportunities all the time to win matches, which in England is very difficult because the challenges are greater. You can see it week after week – the top teams lose to a team near the bottom because everybody is very good and the competition is very tough.”

Already. If clean sheets are an issue, perhaps Peperenpe might want to consider a mattress protector.
