Guardiola is heavily overrated, he won the treble with Rijkaard's team. He didn't change much from that team really. But since the treble he has been exposed with poor buys like Ibra and selling of quality players like Yaya Toure and Eto. Tactically is he extremely poor and was exposed as a manager against Chelsea and Inter Milan. Especially against Chelsea, he was extremely embarrassed, humiliated and shamed that he congratulated his Chelsea counterpart – Guus Hiddink at the 88th min. Also against Inter Milan at the Nou Camp, he didn't change a single thing even when he realized things were not going to plan.

If he goes to a lesser club like Arsenal, his true flaws would be exposed.

Some people have short term memory

Remind me what trophies Barca won the season before Gaurdiola took over? Exactly, nothing. Barcelona where a shambles when Guardiola took over and changed things and has made them the best team on the planet and will go down in history as one of the best teams to ever play the game.

If you dislike the man at least come up with a good argument.

Damn typical mexican sticking up for Barca and the manager i bet Dj emz is a closet Barca fan also who :wank: over Messi

What does this have to do with him? I am talking about Guardiola's failings. He isn't tactically aware and a great team was handed by Rijkaard. All he has done was carry the great legacy left behind by Rijkaard. When push comes to shove in the UCL, he has been exposed as an incompetent gutless manager.

This habit of shortening the names of leagues and divisions into three letters is just one more reason why yanks don't understand football.

Please, the year before. Barcelona was able to make the UCL semi final and played extremely well against United. It wasn't as if they were completely struggling.

Rijkaards team was never as dominant as Barca under Guardiola. Guardiola has sold most of Rijkaards key players, Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco. And signed players like David Villa and Dani Alves. Messi, Iniesta and Xavi all become stars under Guardiola, not Rijkaard.

But yeah Guardiola sucks because Chelsea almost knocked his team out of the CL. Barca went on to win that CL too....

They were struggling in the league, and in the dressing room too. Rijkaard's team lacked discipline

Chelsea are playing awful
Wouldn't say there's much time left in the Champions League to, they way we are playing
Our only hope is that the players that have struggled to come back into the team in good form improve for next season, and that Torres starts ****ing them in
One of the only positives is that the scouting department is being reassembled, Frank Arnesen is off to Germany so hopefully we can have better luck with youngsters coming through.
