I think Guardiola is very hyped for what he is but.. lets be honest, he is in top 5 Managers over there.. In a good day.. his team plays the most beautiful football you can see.. Look the second half of Man City against Barcelona.. that I call world class football..
indeed.. Not winning the champions league with Bayern just proves that he is not that especial..
Bayern football was insane.. "they were very fast at passing and at the same time very tactical, when I saw that.. I thouht my players wouldn't handle that" (Simeone words after that 2nd game at Alianz)
why Bayern did score 3 or 5 in the that first 45 minutes.. proves that "If there is an amazing attacking football there may also be an amazing defensive football"
That game was summed up with this sentence.. The best attacking and the best defense
These facts show how good he is
Mourinho, Kloop, Simeone.. are up there with him.. but each one with his style of play

Will you guys stop making such a big deal of this? Will the fact that Pep managed to beat Barcelona with a team as talented as Manchester City completely make us forget that he's spent all that time in Germany without a single European trophy? And Barca is NOT the same Barca of 2009, 2010. This Barcelona team is not even a shadow of that team. If Puyol, Xavi, and Iniestas's Barca was rated a 10 out of 10. This Barcelona today is barely a 7. Their defense is laughable, the midfield is a joke that just doesn't seem to end. Without Iniesta, it's comparable to the midfield of Liverpool, and PSG's mid would be rated much higher. The partnership of Neymar, Messi, and Suarez, meaning the forwards is the only part of this team that would be reminiscent of 'THAT' Barcelona. Today's Barcelona is a mediocre midfield and an old defense being carried by the forward - where Suarez should be considered the MVP.
Beating this Barcelona team does not in any way, shape or form, mean that you have beaten the best team in Europe or the World. No, you didn't even beat the best third team. That is Atletico Madrid. The second and the first, this is arguable are Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. You look at their squad, you look at their results, you look at their game. These two are the most complete, most talented, best talent distributed teams, from veterans to youngens trying to break into the team. From the GK's, to the defenders, the midfielders, and the attackers. All with adequate backup, in both teams where each of their subs would walk into almost any starting 11 in Europe. The only team that can challenge these two is Atletico Madrid, not the current edition of Barcelona, who conceded 4 against Celta Vigo, happily settled for a point when Atletico visited Nou Camp, and lost to Alavez in that very same stadium. The stadium that Barcelona of half a decade ago made every other team shake in fear. So Manchester City beat them, along with all those other teams, big deal. There is only one unbeaten team remaining in Europe so far this season. That's Real Madrid.
Now, let's not get the over-hyping engines take this, what has already happened a few times already this season, to never ending ridiculous heights, the "Masterclass of Pep Guardiola" (Bleacher Report titlet). Why isn't the manager of Alaves getting such treatment? They beat Barcelona in Camp Nou, as did Celta Vigo. I don't want to listen to people bragging Pep is a great manager again, whom I consider to be average at best. Brings nothing to the team, the Steve Jobs of Football Managers, nothing but hipster mannerisms and clothes. When you beat the best, Pep & City, may you be showered with such recognition. You can say it as much as like Guardiola, kiss all phantom Barca rear you like, but no, your beloved Barcelona is not even part of the conversation of the best team in Europe. That title currently belongs to Real Madrid, with Bayern Munich following closely behind.
And this brings me to my next point.
Will Guardiola ever stop kissing phantom Barca rear?
When he was at Bayern, he said Barca is the best. And Bayern was at the same level as Barca. He's doing it now at City. He's so pathetic.
How can any team be happy to have him as a coach when all he does is constantly profess how Barcelona is greater than any club on the planet, including the one he manages. It is one thing to remain loyal to the club you support, grew up with.. but it is completely another to remain loyal to the club you're currently SERVING!
I don't understand how media allows him to talk this way. I don't understand the fans of the club he manages. I don't understand any of this. He's not even a good manager, the Steve Jobs of Football Managers.
I do not understand people. These people. The cultists. You guys are.. your own little universe.
Critical thinking be damned.
