I don't see anyone making outrageous claims about Pep. Right now he has MC playing really well. Of course injuries to key players would have an impact and of course no success is indefinite. And we know that sometimes his eccentricities can back-fire. I disagree about there being some kind of pattern to him being found out, though, or any kind of inevitability to it. It's not like his ideas are a secret. His overall record, though, shows that knowing what he does and stopping it are usually two different things. Sure, weaker teams can park the proverbial bus and hope for the best, and sometimes it'll work, or they might simply face a better team, with better individual players. But isn't that just how the game works? Right now he probably has the best crop of players in the Prem but maybe not when you look at the top end of Europe, where they may still come unstuck. We'll have to see. In the meantime, just enjoy them for what they're doing.
