Guardiola had three jobs to do after football restarted - secure 2nd position, win FA Cup and win Champions League. He could hardly have failed to come 2nd in the league. The other two we managed to beat Newcastle and Real Madrid but lost to a superior Arsenal team and a weak Lyon team when he over complicated the line up.
Where was the creativity meant to come from last night? When you go 3 centre halves then there is always doubt over who does what unless it is the only system that you use and the players know it very well. 3 at the back can be introduce in a pre-season without an international tournament but not in a week at the end of the season.
Simple questions, are our players better than theirs. Yes, play them off the park at our game. Instead we tried to play their game and we were dreadful. This is all on Guardiola. The BIG mistake was in not admitting he had made a mistake and waiting till Fernandinho was going to get sent off before changing the formation but he still left off 3 of the most creative players in Europe in Bernardo, Silva and Foden.
Still angry and at this point I'm prepared to say fuck off Pep, you've had your chance. Pochettino is available who I think may be a great choice. Improved Southampton beyond all recognition and Spurs were better under him till they got ideas above their station. If we don't get him them United will get him soon.
