This is why Pep is the greatest manager of all time! Look at the Pep effect not only in England but around the world! Now Liverpool is trying to put trent in midfield and Arteta is speaking like pep in interviews. Look at what he turned John Stones into. The manager debate BEEN over. Pep > Mourinho and Ferguson
Remember when Kop was against playing trent in midfield . He said why would you play the best RB in the world out of position. And now he’s doing the same.
Pep stood behind John Stones and defended him in front of the media back in 2016 at a time when the clueless media and some fans were criticizing Stones saying he was not good enough. Now, under Pep's coaching, both Pep and Stones have made the media eat their own words and not only that but Pep has made Stones extremely versatile. Stones under Pep has played as CB, RB, LB, and now in a hybrid role as the second cdm alongside Rodri. Pep is the GOAT of managers.
And to put it into context, Stones was on the bench for a long time and the 2019/20 season even when he returned he was not been played. It took stones 4 seasons ....4SEASONS To Become the beast that he is now and that was after the arrival of Ruben Dias . That partnership from november 2020 to the end of the 2020/21 season was maybe the best defensive display man city has had until this day. They went on a run of 25/26 games and had only conceeded 5 goals. Stones was a beast from that season Onward but the new hybrid role took his game to unprecedeted height.
A Pep's masterpiece for sure. John is a great and intelligent player: he trusted his coach and is now an almost unsurpassed player in his "hybrid" role. If Busquets is mentioned, it is not by chance. I hope to see him play many games: it's a feast for the eyes.
John Stones is the perfect example of what patience and listening to your manager can result to. At some point, he received so much hate and wasn't being played as often. But not once did he complain. 😢 Kept his head down, listened to Pep and worked on improving himself. And look at him now, literally undroppable. You don’t find many players with that kind of mentality. And credit to Pep for standing up for him even when the media and some fans criticised him every waking moment. The GOAT of managers indeed. 💪🙌
The biggest signings and most important ones are Tixi and Soriano. It was Tixi who helped to bring pep to man city and also tixi who convinced Laporta to hire Pep as coach of barca in 2008. Without Tixi , Pep guardiola at barca doesn't happen and Khaldoon Al Mubarak wouldn't have wanted that barca blueprint and maybe would not have recruited Tixi to convince and sell the project to pep.
As a United fan I’m just amazed with how this team pays so much attention to the finer details off the pitch as well, they are miles apart from everyone else
Amazing to see the growth from Everton! Wow!! The way John embraced the challenge that Pep asked, is what makes it even more mind blowing, especially at this level. You can’t deny the intelligence involved in such a change💫🔥. Johnny boy, you’re a legend!!! I’m a man Utd supported by the way…

Stones is the best cb in the world and it’s not even close. He’s even one of the best midfielders in the world now which is crazy and it’s not even an exaggeration
Jonny Jonny, Johnny stones. He has been remarkable for us. We love you pep. The B R O K E R💙 Thank you City media for covering all this memories, you guys are awesome. The feeling of Rodgri hitting the ball, still feels the same😭💙
A CB/DM/CM. Comfortable on all three. Love him and appreciate him. He knows how much he's loved at City. And shoutout to The greatest coach/manager of all time. Pep Guardiola. All this is him.
Well what a player John Stones is. In truth he's grown and grown while at City. I'm always so pleased for any player that keeps on learning and growing. For me that shows the quality of a person and player of the game of football. Beating negativity is one of the mountains to climb in any walk of life. John for me has his flag up there on the summit yet he is still climbing. As our a lot of our players under the systems our Club as a whole and Pep have introduced. And Pep what can a mere mortal say about our Pep. Such a humble guy, always full of passion for the game and willing to make people and things better. Yes, he clearly pursues perfection and he has to be called relentless in his pursuit of his goal. And then he has a sense of humour, and Manc humour come to that. For me Pep has been one of the finest educators of the game. I'm just a simple fan, but he has taught me so so much with his pictures and patterns and designs on the pitch, and they have to be called designs, original designs really. It's football under constant evolution, constantly morphing into something slightly different and impossible to pin down for opponents. Genius I don't know, I'll never be one, but the cap fit on Pep for me. I think this is why we are seeing the changes squad staff this season. Yes, players move because that's important to them, but at City the design is to adapt, try new more advanced ways and method. The design is always trying to grow and move forward. The genius of the club is that it is constantly trying to evolve. And finally lets not forget that without our wonderful owner's none of this would have manifest. Thank you to them for where we are today as a club. As a fan I really do feel that here on earth our club is as close as it can be to football heaven. Thanks guys.
After the successful transformation of John Stones from CB to inverted CB, while he's out, Pep is doing the same on Akanji. Looks like it's working pretty well.
Pep is just the best manager and u can’t say anything about it. Best manger in Manchester,best manager in Europe and most of all best manger in the world.
Stones into midfield truly pep guardiola is revolutionising football....now trent is moving into midfield , fullbacks go forwards nowadays , arteta plays like city nowadays too
Indeed Pep is an Artist. Produced finest football players carrying different skills as a team. What a great Manager that allowed each players to demonstrate their best skills 👏
I am at loss of words to describe what this team has achieved under Pep. This team is going down as One of the Greatest teams of the footballing world.
Manchester City.......the greatest club, manager, squad, team, youth academy and backroom staff in world football and what about the media department that creates such great content. We have to do it ourselves for now as the broken bias british media can't get over thd fact it's not one of the american owned red tops doing it. All I can say is "times they are a changin" Manchester City is the fatest growing sports club. Don't be sleeping on this juggernaut, your gonna miss an amazing journey. What a time and age to be blue 😀😃😄😁💙 CTID.
John Stones has been my favorite player for a long time. His versatility has been a killer. When they put him at right back a few years ago he was amazing. I saw this coming as a natural consequence of that. Pep likes to clog the middle of the field defensively and he likes to bring a back into the midfield. He is an amazing example of resilience, stubbornness, growth and adaptability. Pep deserves a lot of respect but his players are the key. He would say that too.
There's something that other team supporters don't give us. They either say, "All City supporters are young lads." "City supporters don't know football." "You don't know the history of football." Honestly, I think that is where their problem lies. Like a company, we grow. Like team, we play. Like a family, we grow! That really is what I've received from City, honestly. I love this club. And if I could meet or be there or 90 minutes in Manchester for a home game, at the Etihad, I would. Without a doubt. Let's get more W's
The Stones seem perfect without frequent injuries that come to the cyclicals. Injuries are always a drag. His ability and presence in City football can shine.Please take care of your injuries 🙏
