Pep Guardiola is now a prisoner of his own idealism... instinctively I'm in his camp and I have loved watching his teams but what we are seeing is footballing suicide

Daily Mail  

I spent the best part of the Seventies despairing over English football. At present, Pep Guardiola looks like a prisoner of his own idealism at Manchester City At the moment City are vastly overplaying and not getting to the last third enough THREE WISHES FOR 2017 JOHN STONES to become the outstanding defender of his generation I know some people, perhaps including Pep Guardiola, were upset when I criticised Stones earlier in the season because I feared he wasn't learning and was being overindulged. But if the ball goes back to the keeper, he's also too deep and disengaged from the full backs and midfield players. City's Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has ended up having to play hurried long balls So he ends up playing a hurried long ball. Guardiola's men are shaky & once confidence haemorrhages, it's hard to stem the bleeding In the old days, if you played the ball first you pretty much had licence to go through the man and do what damage you could.
