Hear me out.

Has Pep ruined football? Is there a better system and style of play implemented by a manager ever? It feels like he has perfected the strategy. Is there a system out there than can go head to head with Pep? And I’m not talking about a one-of game against a Madrid or a Tuchel or a Ancelloti. If 10 games were played, how many would pep lose against the same team. And I get it - in a football match anything can happen.

However, all fans want to see their team play beautiful football and see them win (aka how man city plays). At Barca, one could point to the genius of Messi, Iniesta, Xavi & co. But I would argue this Man City is Peps greatest success. There is no team nor has there ever been a team, as it is presently constructed, than can beat city (my opinion)

I dont know what strategy or system is robust enough to beat Man City regularly. The Era of man-management which was at its peak with Jose is over. Now the game is about tactics, way of playing and strategy. Has Pep figured it out? Is it a forgone conclusion that there would never exist a system superior to that of Pep? In other words should we just wait for Pep to retire for any other team to have a chance?

    Lol no on everything.

    He hasn’t ruined anything, and he certainly hasn’t perfected anything
