'Pep hates a tall no9'
Reality - Pep wanted to buy Adebayor at Barca, bought Ibrahimovic, loved Lewandowski.

'Pep hates crosses'
Reality - Peps Man City have the most crosses in the league this season and have KDB the player that has crossed more than anyone else.
City are 4th equal on headed goals.

'Pep doesnt allow long range attempts'
Reality - City have scored more goals from outside box than any team in EPL this season.

Kill him.

City and Barca are the only teams who can't cross properly since they mostly have short players.

A crystal ball, what do Barca and City have in common in the last 10 years since both of them started to use that nonsense?

Or better to say: who they have in common?

Have you ever watched Man City play?
I mean ever?
Pathetic

Yes, he uses some crosses.
But his target man is Jesus or Aguero.

That's a weird way to use crosses or an alibi way to use crosses.

When I say crosses, I mean: what RM used to do with Cr7.

In the last match, Rakitic crossed to Messi but that was useless.

The fact is: Pep hates tall no9.
Pep hates true crosses.
Pep hated true corners for majority of his career.
Pep doesn't allow long range attempts.

Pep is all about maths and efficiency in a one-dimensional way: keep possession and try a shot mostly when the opportunity is perfect.
Otherwise he doesn't like to lose possession to actions with lower efficiency like good old crosses and long range attempts.

Just look at Barca after Rijkaard:
We stopped using long balls
We stopped using crosses
We stopped using classical corners and invented those shit onedimensional short corners
We stopped using Deco's longshots

When Pep came, everything was reseted to=keep the ball, play one style till death.
And there is no plan B.
Yes, it worked for 3-4 years, but what now?
Players, coaches and fans are still obssessed with that style and this is why we build a team in this shitty way.

Which sane club in the world would buy a 175cm Lautaro as their target man?
No one.
Who would do something like that?
Only Pep.
And clubs who are still blindly follow all of his ideas even though they stopped working long time ago. Read: Barca.

You negelected the most important stat. Pep is very successful so he must be doing something right.

"And clubs who are still blindly follow all of his ideas even though they stopped working long time ago. Read: Barca".

Yet Barca and Peps teams keep winning trophies, funny that.

And we are still stuck with tiki-taka which lasted 4 years.

So city have wingers which dcore,assist and cross but we don't have any winger in team.

But but mighty Barca DNA,no speed,no counters ..
While other teams are evolving we are just going for shitier tactics and old players

You are confusing things. That has nothing to do with "Barca DNA", we just made incredibly stupid transfers.

De Jong is bought just because he have some tiki-taka DNA.

If he was good let's say in passing and being new Yaya Toure he would never be concidered.
