It remains my contention that a sort of neo-liberal great man / Walter Isaacson biography vibe movement in how we want to see people (Jobs, Gates, Musk - although less now maybe) means that Pep falls into that category even though he wouldn’t see himself this way

It remains wild to me how Pep is credited with so many tactical innovations that he simply wasn’t the first person to do. Or second or third. I get that Richards is a City stan and not the greatest football brain but it’s really revisionist nonsense

I mean, minus drugs this is how certain football people get to run clubs when the people they worked with were actually the smart ones, not thinking of anyone in particular I promise

these have been fascinating games in the past, and i know i'm guaranteeing an incredible comeback by saying this, but this season it just feels like real madrid are straightforwardly a better football team than man city.

GK stats vary a lot based on what they are asked to do and what the opposition allows them to do. That said, it has been CRYSTAL that Sanchez kills Chelsea buildup all season. It's just taken a crisis to make it enough of an issue Maresca might finally do something.
