Yeah, esp. Grimaldo and FrimpongThanks.
Generally a pretty clean bill until now then besides a few squad players.
Unbeaten run aside, their achievement this season vs. their history is nothing short of amazing

Arthur…… that’s not the same Arthur is it?
Can someone help me earn that?
Well, you would think they would find a way to counter this right ? - ask the other 16 teams in the PL who have tried to counter it against City. The difference is I think Alonso keeps the players very close to each other - well closer than City.It’s curious that despite Alonso the player being one of the best long passers possibly in the history of the game, as a coach he really emphasizes short passing. It looks really, really lovely, I love the way his team moves to create angles and make sure the player with the ball can always play a simple pass that is progressive at the same time.
But… what will happen when opponents find a way to counteract this? I’m all in for Xabi, but at some point the time will come when his Plan A has been figured out and I’d like to see him showing the ability to adjust.
They wanted to complete their full Spursyness - Kane was not enough.Also, I completely missed it during my travels - FC Bayern signed Eric Dier after all? Why??
Doesn't that happen with every system eventually? Not worth worrying about. A top quality manager would just make tweaks to the system.It’s curious that despite Alonso the player being one of the best long passers possibly in the history of the game, as a coach he really emphasizes short and simple passing.

And in a perfect world a manager would get that experience of dealing with a set-back and overcoming it before getting a high-profile job like Liverpool.

Not when it comes to the fundamentals re: positioning for receiving short passes and runs in behind for one-twos.Guardiola tweaks his system constantly though, so it’s almost impossible to have it “figured out”.

He has already developed a few styles though. He's clearly a very intelligent manager. If something starts getting counteracted he seems like exactly the sort of manager to take on new ideas.It’s curious that despite Alonso the player being one of the best long passers possibly in the history of the game, as a coach he really emphasizes short and simple passing.

Are we going to become the cunts we accused barca of being?

I can't believe some (referring to my mates) actually think that Xabi would pick Madrid over Liverpool.
Sure the move might not be as glamorous as moving to Madrid, but I believe that he has a stronger connection to LFC than to any other club except Sociedad.
I'd argue that his most formative years were at LFC. Rafa helped him develop into an international star, which ultimately lead to Real coming after him. He would have probably stayed too if it wasn't for the rift Rafa caused between them.
Xabi won his first major trophy at LFC and it was a memorable one. He established himself in the Spanish national team and also won the EURO's. I think he was settled outside of the pitch too, having a small tight nit Spanish contingent around him like Reina, Riera, Torres, Garcia and Arbeloa. Even childhood mate Arteta was around.
I think the club has already approached him about the job and more will be revealed towards the end of the season.
Oh and regarding Arteta...
