LVG is the greatest manager of all time. Well, right behind Roberto Martinez, obviously.

Lvg is disliked at every big club he's ever managed at by fans. Ask yourself why.

They hate him because they can't handle is awesomeness.

It's jealousy. Simple.

Johann Cruyff is the name you're looking for if you want to take credit away from Pep

yes Pep did win alot with Barca but who wouldnt with that team???
--------------
Tito Villanova and Gerardo Martino?

pep is not over-rated but is a manager with only a plan A

tika-taka, and nothing else.
He is not a team builder imo though and for that reason would not be suited to the utd job.

thats my point exactly

Pep's plan A was pretty much the most successful plan in history in terms of the trophies won in 3 seasons.

The times it failed get highlighted quite a lot, much like this season Mourinho's tactical 'masterclasses' get lauded.....and have earned Chelsea precisely zero silverware.

alot of people give Pep alot of credit for `inventing -keep-the-ball`

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

I don't think anyone has said this, ever.

Pep worked with the B team, he brought in the likes of Pedro and Busquets from that team. He took advantage of Messi's talents and moved him into the middle.

I don't know what your definition of 'building a team' is, but Pep certainly did just that with Barca.

im not trying to take credit from him but facts are facts, if Bayern is humiliated again next year in the champions league then Pep will be chased out of Germany all the way to Spain trust me

Barca had already won everything there is to win so how did Pep build Barca exactly? how?

they say this all the time,pundits on the telly,fans also

If Plan A works 95% of the time there is no need for Plan B

Plan B is just code for hoofball anyway. Pep has Plan A, B, C, D etc. and it involves different players, subs, changes in formation.

He just doesn't do route 1 or sideways hoofball (crossing to heads percentage hopeful football)

You need to tell me what your definition of building a team is though.

How long can there be between a team's successes in a competition for a team to be built?

The team he inherited and built was NOT the 2006 CL winning team.

Why is Mourinho failing with a Chelsea team that won the CL?

For all the perceived problems with the tiki taka style.....just look at Barca and Spain from 2008 to present and name me a more successful style of play

All achieved 'without a Plan B'

"If Plan A works 95% of the time there is no need for Plan B"

Well yeah, there actually is. Because the other 5% of the time tends to be against the top teams in key games that can and often will prove the difference between winning silverware and failing to do so. It's why his record in one off games against great teams often ended in defeat in his latter days at Barca and again why Bayern were so easily dispatched by Real. Predictable and can be countered with relative ease by the best.

"Why is Mourinho failing with a Chelsea team that won the CL?"

1. they fluked it unconvincingly so it's not as if he inherited the best side in Europe
2. He's a bus parker who doesn't like attacking and he bottled the easiest league title in ages by not scoring/winning in 4 easy matches in the last month or so.

Yet he is lauded as one of the greatest managers ever?

As an Arsenal fan, obviously Barca fluked the 2006 CL final, making Pep's achievements all the more amazing

The transfers Barca did under Pep were awful. Paid god knows how much and Eto for Ibra and then put him on the bench.

Bayern pass the ball so slowly in the final third compared to last year. That made them soo much less dangerous, I remember they used to pass the ball into space and rip teams with Robben and Ribery.

Jose is one of the best managers ever

that doesn't mean he's flawless - everyone has chinks in their armour / shortcomings

Yeah, Barca were a one man team. Their one man, however, only looked good because of the service from Xavi and Iniesta

It's not just messi he's missing. Iniesta, busquets and xavi are just as big misses. Bayern have good midfielders but none of them are on that level.
