Vincent Kompany: Man City quadruple a matter of time | Next year?

Not helped by Vincent himself bottling it and not wanting to come out for the second half after hoofing it out of play all of the first
did he actually make a pass in that first half? Every touch was a hoof in the stands, will go far with Pep

Had zlatan tho tbf, zlatan only came out his shell once kompany went off
 
He's going to be sold next season. Guardiola seems really pissed off with him judging from his interviews.
 
He's referring to himself playing 4 games in a row without dying, which looks a bigger impossibility than us winning 4 trophies in a season at this stage.

WTF was he thinking when he said this, might do the double, treble if they get lucky, but this idiot thought they were going to do the quadruple.
 
Yeah I think onece they get knocked out of The FA cup the quadruple is definitely on.
:lol:

When he's old and retired he can recite it back to himself, like that Day Today sketch

In 2014, there was no Quadruple
In 2015, there was no Quadruple
In 2016, there was no Quadruple
In 2017... there was no Quadruple
 
Pep Guardiola: Specialist in failure.

I guess he really is the new Wenger, huh?

he had just luck and Messi at Barca, good timing for him and club he knows through and through but he's just not very good manager, at Bayern he had another best team in a country by a mile and we can say the domestic title was expectedbut he failed miserabely in the CL,so he did now and struggling big time in the league too...

Can somebody name a manager being successful in only a one club of the Barcelona format and failing in others btw?
 
It is only a matter of time, theoretically, a bit like the monkeys and the works of Shakespeare.

He was a big success at Bayern. He won the league (three times) in a more impressive way than Heyckness did or Ancelotti is doing. And three semi finals (which is one semi final more than United under Fergie between out two triumphs in UCL) in three years in UCL is anything but a failure.

If he was a failure then literally every manager in the history of the sports bar Bob Paisley and Arrigo Sacchi has been a failure. Fraudiola, Sir Fraud, Fraudinho, Fraudcelotti etc.

Didn't they reach the semi finals all three years he was there? Now that might not have been what the club was aiming for naturally but saying that he failed miserably is just ridiculous.
People talk about this like it should be a walk in the park to win the CL if you've got a great team.. it doesn't really work like that in reality.
 
It would be a fantastic achievment for Kompany to play in four tournaments within a season never mind winning them .

No team is going to win CL without element of luck involved, so it's not about winning it. The problem with Guardiola is how it played out every time Bayern got to semi finals and faced one of the other 3 paper favorites for the CL title. His tactical approach was successfully countered by all 3 opponents.

2014. Bayern 0-5 Real Madrid
2015. Bayern 3-5 Barcelona
2016. Bayern 2-2 Atletico

When that happens 3 years in a row then it changes perspective for some people and you can't really blame them for seeing it differently and calling it a failure.

again he had the best team in the country by a mile at disposal, I remember how he got thrashed by Heynckes 4:0 when still at Barca, 5:0 by Real etc. his tactics was good for the league just not very good at the cups against top teams, he's just not very good and very overrated because of what he did at Barcelona, he will fail at Mancity as he all of a sudden doesnt have the best team in the country and he got knocked out by Monaco which is not even a top team, conceding 6 goals over two legs, he's just fecking shambles

No he didn't. Heynckes team scored 98 goals, conceded just 18 goals and won 91 points.
In 3 season highest Pep's team scored was 94, least goal conceded was 18 and highest points won was 90.

Never happened.

I hope that he fails at Man City, but that is far from certain, and would not undo his records he did at Barca and Bayern.

The first one was the big feck up, the other two weren't failures. Against Barca both Ribery and Robben were injured and if Lewandowski hadn't missed absolute sitters the scoreline would have looked much better.
We were the much better team against Atletico and should have easily won, Bayern just failed to score often enough.
I don't even like Pep and i'm happy he's gone, but calling the CL runs a failure is at least questionable. His approach for away games in the CL is horrible though. Bayern only won one out of 9 matches away from home in the CL knockout stages and we didn't only play teams like Barca.
