England call Pep arrogant: "It makes him successful, but it's his biggest flaw"

Despite the clear defeat against Liverpool, England put all their focus on the Pep Guardiola's unreasonable reaction in relation to what happened at Anfield. They didn't like the way the coach faced the controversy of the game, in a country that is so used to the coach's methods.

Although Jose Mourinho changed the trend and Jurgen Klopp is lagging behind, people in England are not used to the heated reactions during matches.

That's why, 'The Guardian' is relentless with Pep. "Arrogance makes him successful, but it is also his biggest weak point," Barney Ronay stated. The Guardian expert found it incredible that Guardiola bet on Angeliño in such an important match.

"What team goes to Anfield to play a game with a substitute goalkeeper, John Stones and a left back like Angeliño?", he deepened, as he does not think the referee was to blame: "City didn't lose because of refereeing mistakes".

In 'The Sun', the historic Alan Shearer criticised Guardiola's line-up. "If he had played Fernandinho in midfield and not as a centre-back, maybe Liverpool wouldn't have been so comfortable," he said about the coach's decision.

'The Guardian' and 'The Times', to conclude, came to compare Pep to a mythical English comedian of the 70s for his irascibility on the sidelines. A game that has left Guardiola and, above the image, his team nine points away from a leader who seems solid and untouchable.
