I think it's great having a keeper who's good on the ball but that should be treated as a bonus, and used when necessary, not something you build an entire method around.

ah, yes. but pep is a religious fanatic who will torture players and teams into the baroque shapes he wants or destroy them in the process.

hilarious thing ribéry said after pep left bayern--that he lacked experience ha ha ha. and that he talks too much but football is actually very simple.

i dont think it's so much lack of experience as being too immersed in his own head/thoughts/idealism. it's like... a communist leader who wants to reprogram society... and ruins it, with the best intentions

maybe i exaggerate but only to clarify my point
