Not surprised... it's what Pep and Arteta's brand of mindless control does to the sport.Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...

Because City are renowned for winning games 1-0 rather than Blitzing teams and scoring record amounts of goals.Not surprised... it's what Pep and Arteta's brand of mindless control does to the sport.

Just like Barcelona and Bayern were under Guardiola. I don’t like Guardiola, can’t stand him in fact but pretending that his teams played tedious football is to be generous heavily revisionist
The two teams you mentioned weren't built in his image, as they already had a history and culture, plus he wasn't even there for that long.
Few managers in the EPL have stayed long enough to build teams in their image... in the past we'd say SAF, AW, Moyes and thats pretty much it off the top of my head.
Maybe Klopp too, but at points Liverpool had different owners that behaved differently and probably had different motivations, which may have affected his ability to do so.
Anyway currently, Simeone, Pep and Arteta are the only managers left in world football managing top clubs that are enjoying this privilege... I don't think you need to be Einstein to understand their true footballing philosophies.
That'll be just the 9 goals for Haaland in 7 games.
What a bum
