Well said. Manager and team in having off day shock. It happens. I'm struggling to get too down about it.That result tonight has been coming. Not because RDZ is suddenly a bad coach or the players are not good enough, out of the blue shock results and performances like that happen every now and again when you are such a system based team.
Anyone who has read a lot about Guardiola and other similar system reliant managers knows these results happen now and again, you have to accept it and know they are worth the greater good.
The writer and journalist, Jonathan Wilson, who has studied Pep extensively explains it better than I but when you have a team who are totally reliant and bought into such a strong tactic coached by their manager, every now and again they have a day when things don’t go right or the other team surprises them. Their plan A doesn’t work at all, their shellshocked and they don’t know how to deal with it as well as a team who are more reliant on individual players and personality rather than a team system. Guardiola has had many games like this in his long career.
As I say, it’s frustrating but today shouldn’t come as a surprise and we’ve got a brilliant manager and group of players who I’m sure will bounce back playing the great football we’re used to.
