Pep is a fraud

Outclassed tactically by Klopp.

How embarrassing.

Pep buys very good players and coaches them into even better players.

I'm yet to see what else he does and I'm yet to see a manager other than Mourinho who can't do what he does, because most don't have the budget.

He got it badly wrong tonight, embarrassed by a team assembled for a small percentage of the one that he has put together.

I don't like watching Liverpool win generally but I very much enjoyed watching City get thrashed.

Not to me though - probably because you don't like to concede to me.

You always end up making silly, off topic comments rather than just concede the point.

Although I have to say, this thread has been special even for you - you've really gone to town on behaving like a child.

.................

I can't ever remember being wrong to you. If I was I would admit it.

Your problem is, and many have told you this, is that your argue in absolutes.

I always find a flaw in this and hammer away at it.

A while back, if you remember, you said Jose doesn't have any faith in youth or play any youth or similar along those lines.

I said that isn't strictly true, which it isn't, and you went off on one by being absolutely rigid in your wrong stance.

If you were debating properly, you would have offered up a bit of give and take on that one and we would have been fine.

It so turns out Vidiclegend, Viva and my self were spot on with McTominay as Jose has played him often since. Once in a vital CL game at the expense of Pogba.

"If I was I would admit it"

No, you wouldn't. And you haven't.

I don't argue in absolutes.

Threads about refereeing decisions, for example, you will generally find me being the one to say that it is subjective you can see it both ways, before then giving my view.

You see what you want to see, but it doesn't mean you're correct.

I remember that debate.

You conceded no ground whatsoever and put forward examples that were flawed. You never once admitted that actually, you were a bit quick to put those forward and you made a mistake.

Instead, you argued for pages and pages that if a player plays for 45 mins in his entire club career then technically he has 'developed', if only a fraction.

It was petty and pathetic and sums up why our 'debates' end up as they do - so thanks for raising it.

When I raised your examples' game time, if you'd have accepted that actually, they weren't really examples of Jose being committed to youth then we could have moved on. But you couldn't do it, could you?

I repeatedly said that I hoped that McTominay would continue to get game time but didn't hold out much hope. Nothing wrong with that. No one has been proven right because he has played more this season after that debate.

You need to take a closer look at home.

I know my faults and you'll frequently see my admit them.

You seem to have no idea about yours and you'd rather behave like a child on a thread like this than even try to discuss things properly.

Seriously, it's been a car crash hasn't it?

It didn't start well and I admitted it was a bit of devils advocate. I put up a post that said that and also tried to introduce a more sensible conversation into things, but you ignored that and behaved ridiculously.

I don't hold grudges and I'm willing to draw a line under this and move on, but if you genuinely believe the blame lies entirely with me then we will get nowhere.

As ever, I wish no ill to those on this forum, so have a nice weekend anyway.

They were examples of him playing youth. There was nothing flawed about it.

You seem pretty wound up, to be honest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Pretty rich coming from someone who’s quite clearly upset that people think his article his garbage

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Clearly upset?

I'd say that about you, for sure. But me? Ha!

What is there to be upset about?

Life is great. Chill out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don’t ask me the question, you were the one accusing others of being upset.

I don’t think you quite get it, so let me explain:

You posted an article, an article which some people stated they thought were shiiiite.

You fired back by claiming people were upset, throwing tantrums etc.

People calling the article shiiite is their opinion. Nobody can prove or disprove the opinion of it.

You saying that people are upset is your opinion. You can’t prove that your opinion of other people is accurate.

In summary:

Your claims can’t be backed up or verified.

I'm well aware it's my opinion.

But thanks for yet more enlightening posts from you - pleasure to have you and your tantrums around

Here we go again.

The debate wasn't about whether he plays youth.

It was about whether he's committed to developing youth.

I'm fairly confident that playing a youth goalkeeper for 45 minutes because the first choice goalkeeper was injured does not fall under 'commitment to developing youth', but as I have outlined, it's something you'll argue and argue because you cannot admit when you've made an error.

Absolutely no chance.
............
I predicted 1-2 but it finished 2-3. I wonder if you thought no chance at half time, even I was losing hope mainly on Pogba and Smalling and they were the ones who got us the win in the end.
