Wednesday's thrashing highlights Pep Guardiola's biggest weakness
Wednesday's thrashing highlights Pep Guardiola's biggest weaknessWhich is... his record in big games. Has Pep Guardiola, in his managerial career, actually won a game where his team were not heavy favourites? If there is one, I cannot seem to remember it.When the odds are stacked against him, he has repeatedly faltered.
At Barcelona, everything seemed to be going fine with him managing a team that is considered by many to be the best club team in history.
That is, until he was shamed into resignation by a 2-3 defeat by 10-man Chelsea at Barcelona.
Then he went to another strong side, Bayern Munich, where he endured repeated humiliations in the Champions League semis.
Bad start
He is now off to a bad start at Man City after losing against every team as strong or nearly as strong as them.
Surely, 4-0 at Barcelona, a team that never changes how it plays, and Pep, being the former manager, should have had enough to nullify their threat.
Let us not forget that all this is in spite of him being the highest spending manager in recent times.This has to call into question the man's ability to manage his way out of a mess when faced with stronger opposition.
Some have even gone as far as to call him a fraud, with the website titled Has Pep Guardiola Been Exposed As A Fraud Yet? being formed to answer this question.
So far, the website says the answer is 'NO!' however, I have my doubts.
I would like to know your opinion on this. Leave your view in the comment section below and let's talk.
