But Guardiola was not too impressed, saying: "Just to pass the ball for itself is nothing.

"The first half was quite good but in the second half we forgot to attack, we forgot to play. When we pass the ball we do it to move through the opponents to attack. The second half was really, really poor.

"It is not easy to play with a 4-0 lead. I think in the first half we showed we wanted to win the game. We created a lot of chances and we were good.

"But after 1-1 in the second half, it didn't happen. We just passed for itself and when that happens, that is not football."


Tiki Taka RIP


Pep has hated tiki taka since the term was coined

Said it way back in Pep Confedential, should read it Cripps you’ll love it

Lol.

Xavi - 84 goals and 165 assists.

Iniesta - 55 goals and 135 assists.

Time to stop watching football, fella. It's not for you.

AFC10 making a fool of himself again

Over 700 games for Iniesta, near 900 for Xavi

55 goals in 710 games for Iniesta lol. Prolific. 3 goals in last 3 seasons, in that Barca side....dear god AFC10, another name change incoming as this one has been put on suicide watch

:rolleyes:

Xavi, you can forgive the shitness cos he played deeper. Both world class at passing for passing sake.

Don't get this AFC10 thing but never mind.

Just imagine thinking two players getting 165 and 135 assists from midfield is lacking end product. Lol

Like I said, another sport fella. Football isn't for you as shown.

Leave this for the big boys.

You just have to watch either play. You clearly haven't which why is why you can be forgiven for the astounding lack of knowledge you have but that's ok. I mean Wilshere is a player you rate and he has f all end product as well so no hope for you.

Have a good night AFC10.

Tbf a lot of those "assists" were probably standard passes to Messi who then dribbled past 3 players and scored.

Xavi and Iniesta were boring af to watch at times, but damn if they weren't efficient.

Also Pep still ahead of the curve. The man is a genius manager.

Fifa has expanded its investigation into whether Manchester City broke rules on signing youth players. The club could be punished with a transfer ban if found guilty of wrongdoing. (Telegraph)


How will they survive?

Don't understand why this is only just news.

Players have been using it on the quiet for some time now.

Snus is literally smoking but just not getting caught by the press

I know pro players that have been using snus for about 5 years, there’s zero benefits and a ridiculous amount of negatives
