Spike 5,085 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 BBC just published an argument starting kit. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56644914 I was picking players based on their form for Guardiola, not a wholistic sense of their career. So that means even though I think Ibrahimovic is amazing, he wasn't as much so under Guardiola so I couldn't pick him. Though Aguero was the iffiest player, I was tempted to shift Messi centrally and just throw David Silva on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,085 Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Then I thought of Lewandowski, well he was better after Guardiola left so I can't choose him right? Not so easy afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Mine is somewhat similar. Just Kompany for Pique and rotate Iniesta and KDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany peaked under Mancini and Pelegrini though. I couldn't include a player that was on the downwind like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,265 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Alves is a shoe in as he is arguably Peps greatest ever signing. You could make a point that Messi was utilised best as a false 9 under Pep and that Silva was City's most influential player bar KDB during 2017-2020. Don't think anyone will be able to get the ball off of them Neuer Alves Pique Puyol Lahm Busquets KDB Xavi Messi Silva Iniesta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Piqué was a beast under Pep and when partnered with Puyol. Eto'o might have only played under him one season but was brilliant that season. Selling him for Ibra was the biggest mistake in Pep's managerial career also.

Happy Blue 1,896 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ederson Alves - Kompany - Dias - Lahm Silva - De Bruyne - Iniesta Messi - Aguero - Foden You cant argue against that, would be the best team to ever play football if Kinkladze was in it too!

Can't argue with that but try getting the ball off that midfield when they were in their prime and Neuer isn't really required as much anymore imo.

Neuer's the best keeper since Buffon... but I'm not going to make a team that wasn't already assembled. I'm just picking Pep's best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to make a "best of pep" it'd be the same team but with Neuer and Lahm in the starting XI instead, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
