Re: Guardiola has failed Bayern Munich
The fact that Pep is considered a "failure" because he didn't win the CL is in itself a testament to how good he is

Exactly.
It was a pleasure having him. Still a double to play for.
Let's also take a moment to realize that Tuchel's BVB, as 2nd, is on course to collect more league points than Klopp in his best, record breaking league winning season.
But yeah, winning Bundesliga is of course just the minimum requirement

I think his detractors are pointing out that if he was any good, he would have won it with this 'stacked' team. He is being considered a failure because, apparently, he had a stacked team and couldn't deliver.
Not that I agree (far from it), but just clarifying.

Re: Guardiola has failed Bayern Munich
How is his team stacked? He by no means has a better squad than any other top 5 team (with the exception of Atleti, but they make up for this in discipline).

True. Adding to that, stacked teams do not necessarily convert to silverware, especially in KO tournaments.
Also, he has always been in the CL SF, which in itself is remarkable (look at Barca even with MSN).

Re: Guardiola has failed Bayern Munich
How is Simeone multi dimensional and Guardiola not?
Guardiola is the most multi dimensional coach in the world and nobody comes even close.
To those claiming otherwise, I would just like a couple of questions answered.
If he wanted to, can Pep play the way a Simeone or a Mourinho plays? He could do so in his sleep. Any idiot worth his salt can park the bus and counter, which is why you see even the likes of Allardyce, Pulis, random EPL scrub manager pull it off. It is not rocket science. Two banks of 4, one of the forwards covers the side the ball is on. The lone forward works the channel or waits for the long ball. You can have minor variations here and there but that is it. And you see it every weekend in a dozen games. Only difference is Simeone has much better players( also doped to the brim) to pull it off.
Nothing tactically revolutionary about it. And there is absolutely nothing multi dimensional about it. Thats a load of complete and utter nonsense. Please explain what is so multi dimensional about the way Simeone ways. There is zilch. It is the same every single game of every single season barring minor varioations
Can Simeone get his teams to play the way Guardiola gets his teams to play the game? Before the player argument begins, lets assume he has the personnel Guardiola has. Even now, Atletico have a lot of talented players who can certainly play the Guardiola way.
Not in a million years can Simeone get his teams to play the Pep way. No one can. It takes a special kind of genius to play the way Pep plays and that is why Pep is unique. Guardiola's philosophy is the living embodiment of Cruyff's philosophy. He plays the game the Cruyff way, the only way it should be played. Up in heaven, the Dutchman himself must be proud of his disciple.
I admire Simeone but he can never get his teams to play the Pep way while Pep can do the opposite. Parking the bus and countering doesnt make someone multidimensional. Over the course of the two legs Bayern were the better team. They completely outplayed Atletico yesterday and should have gone through. They didnt but that happens. Fair play to Atletico and Simeone for hanging in. But to go from that to calling Guardiola a failure is a stretch.
I dont think he has been a failure at Bayern. He has reached the semis thrice in a row. The CL is the toughest competition in the world. Come the knockouts, it depends on a lot of factors. Luck, injuries, form, referee decisions all play a role. End of the day, semis is all one can realistically expect even from a team like Bayern. He has achieved that. He will have won the league thrice in a row. Is also in the Cup final. I fail to understand how anyone can deem that a failure.
Above everything else, Pep has brought Bayern a lot of attention( and I suspect the Bayern brass had that in mind when they signed him). Bundesliga and even Bayern were not taken seriously even after the treble. Pep brought a lot of mainstream attention to Bayern. During his tenure, they have made significant progress towards being counted along with the big three of Barca, Real and Manu. Ofcourse it is not all Guardiola but it is undeniable that he has brought Bayern a lot of mainstream attention.
This aspect shouldnt be ignored when discussing Pep's tenure and I suspect it is one big reason the Bayern brass were so desperate to resign him.

For three years straight. With a massive squad + many more signings at his disposal. Only two more teams in the world offer such accomodations for a manager. Winning Bundesliga with that squad is as much of an achievement as Celtic winning the Scottish league by being the richest club in the league by far.
Bayern didn't sign him to be dominant in the league, Bayern already were that before Pep. They signed him to make Bayern dominant in Europe, they gave him every accomodation and defended him at every turn. He failed them.
Now that Carlo gets the team I expect him to make Bayern great again.

Re: Guardiola has failed Bayern Munich
I don't share the impulse to rush to extremes in fan commentary & punditry. We can point out that he fell just short of the biggest goal, three seasons in a row (losing to some pretty stellar teams, mind you), and that's certainly a disappointment. But he also, overall, brought a lot of benefits in his time at Bayern and he's leaving behind a very promising squad, too ... plenty of good players left, with years ahead of them, and a lot of experience being coached by one of the game's top, universally respected coaches.
Honigstein has some decent balance in his remarks here: http://www.espnfc.us/club/bayern-munich/132/blog/post/2864695/bayern-will-benefit-from-guardiolas-triumphs-and-faillures-for-years-to-come
I'm not a Guardiola stan, and suspect a number of his innovations in tactics & personnel were a matter of gilding the lily, but I do have a lot of respect and admiration for his work.
At Man City, he'll once again have vast resources (as with Barca & Bayern), but he'll also be in a league where he has 3-5 title contenders at the outset of the season, versus just one or two in Spain/Germany. I'm interested to see how he does.

Re: Guardiola has failed Bayern Munich
Pep was average for Bayern standards as results.
They had 4 big games in Europe during Pep's years: Real, Barca, Juventus, Atletico. They got destroyed in 2 of them by Real and Barca, won a close game against Juve and lost a close game to Atletico. That's a pretty bad record imo, considering the years before Pep.
During Pep's years, 3 teams were better in Europe than Bayern:
-Atletico: 2 Finals (at least), 1 QF
-Real, 1 Cl won, 1 semi-final, and remains to be seen this year
-Barca 1 CL won, 2 QFs

This imho. Not the fact that he lost in the semis 3 times is bad, but how he did it is, and that he never eliminated a top team on the way there.

Juve is a top team, and we eliminated them. They're better than City, Real, and Atletico in my humble opinion.

I agree with Ion's analysis tbh, but to call it a failure is too harsh. I'd say winning 3 league titles and reaching the CL semis every year is meeting expectations. More than that would've been a bonus. Average is a good word, not great but not a failure.
And calling him a fraud is just idiotic

He did descent in Bayern. Reaching in last 4 in CL itself shows the consistence and confident they had in themselves.
Looking forward to see his fight in PL.

Not Atletico IMO. They are the best team in the world along with Bayern and will comfortably win the CL. Juve are just behind though.

Juve were done in by the ref, and had half their squad injured. Agreed on the rating on prime Juve with a fit squad though.

Alex I don't know if we can write off Simeone like that. He plays the way he plays because it's the most effective for the players he has. Could he try to play possession with his current squad? Perhaps, but why would he if this way works for him? That being said he seems like an extreme pragmatist and if given Barca's squad I very much doubt he would try to play 442 counter football.

Some groundbreaking stuff here, and clearly something we never saw in this section from Barça fans .

Exactly .
And inversely , Does anyone actually believe that Guardiola would do more with that Atletico Squad ?
Simeone is literally getting the best possible results out of them .
