You can see some of Pep's philosophy already.

Delph says he has learnt more in 3 weeks with pep than his entire career and he might play CB.

Would really have wished to see Pep managing Arsenal and what he will do to some of our players.

Looking forward to this.

Pep is a revolutionary manager. The same way Wenger was we signed him all those years back.

I fear City will dominate English football under his guidance.

I hope at one point someone breaks the tiki-taka code on a consistent basis. Amazing how Pep transformed the fluid artistic style of total football into a mechanical modular machine. It works and it's often beautiful but it can also be very grating.

Couple rule changes for next season:

The ball can be passed backwards when kicking off.

Players may only receive a yellow card if they concede a penalty. Previously it was an automatic red card if someone denies a goals scoring opportunity, even if it's accidental. That was deemed too harsh, so they made a slight tweak.

Players will be able to receive treatment quickly on the pitch if they are injured in a challenge that results in a yellow or red card, no longer have to leave the field.

Penalty change - Feinting once the run-up is complete will result in a yellow card for the taker.

If play is stopped due to interference from a team official or substitute (Diego Simeone's backroom staff throwing a ball onto the pitch) Instead of an indirect free-kick or drop ball, the referee will now award a penalty kick to the opposition.

So if you're on the goal line you may as well save it with your hands (ala Suarez in the World Cup). Good rule change but there should be exceptions to minimise abuse.

Savz

Are you serious? FFS mate. Previously it was an automatic red card if someone denies a goals scoring opportunity, even if it's accidental. That was deemed too harsh, so they made a slight tweak.

If a player dives like a prime Buffon and saves it with both hands, they won't just get a yellow card, lmfao.

goon

Why not? According to your post the new rule is supposedly penalty = no red card.

Oh, and I've warned you before, stop acting like a superior dick towards your fellow forum posters or you won't be around here much longer. There wouldn't be many tears if I banned you right now.

Savz

Did you really think the new rule was a penalty is now only a yellow card and nothing more? - Serious question.

I ask as I placed the word MAY in my sentence. Had it been: "Players will now only receive a yellow card if they concede a penalty"... Then that would have been badly written.

goon

Right, well right after the word "may" you placed the word "only", which suggests that they can "only" get a yellow if they concede a penalty, i.e. no red. Can be taken both ways especially when you didn't add anything about denying goal-scoring opportunities.

Anyway, moving on. The rule is pretty much as I stated.

Rex

The same changes that were applied at the Euros, no?

Clrnc

Yeah it is, nothing new.

Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity and causing a penalty are two different things.

If you remove the highlighted parts of your post it becomes a normal post by a normal person. Please try to remain normal in future Savz.

Apparently Schweinsteiger has been told, on his birthday, to clear out his lockers because he will now be training with the reserves.

Mou gonna Mou despite what Savz thinks.

Claudius

Hahahahaha. What a heartless cunt. I respect his accomplishments, but he really has no humanity. At least Schweinsteiger gets to go home to Ana. That should soften the blow

I've always said he will change his foolish, outlandish, and generally embarrassing behaviour as he'll have more respect at Old Trafford than anywhere before.

Sending a player to the reserves isn't bad, he doesn't want him then so be it.

Has he said anything publicly which damages his reputation or makes Bastian out to be a bad seed or maybe like.. a bad characters etc? I haven't seen anything yet. Only Bastian's brother coming out and tweeting "no respect".

Januzaj is set to be sold this summer, is that Mourinho being a dick for not letting him had at least a season under his guidance? Is it fuck. Jose is there to forge the best, most competitive side possible and that's what he'll do. Bastian has been a good experienced head, but his legs went a long time ago.

Sour grapes, that's all.

Mirth

This is why Mourinho never lasts more than 3 years. At some point every one realises he's a massive twat to work with.

Savz

That wasn't the case at Uniao de Leiria, Porto and Inter.

Mirth

But it was the case at Chelsea x 2 and Madrid. He didn't stay as long at Inter or Porto.

We could dissect his time at each club in detail but the overall trend is that he does fall out with his players more than most managers and that causes friction over the course of a few seasons.

Edit: He was at Uniao de Leiria for 6 months. It's almost irrelevant.
