5. The biggest improver under Pep so far IMO

is Jerome Boateng. He is looking very composed so far this year, minus that last gasp straight red he took against Manchester City.

Still, Pep was gift-wrapped an astoundingly good team. If I was in charge of filling out a lineup card that included the likes of Ribery, Schweinsteiger, and Neuer and I was free to leave players like Mario Goetze on the bench, people would probably think I was a hell of a manager too!

I still don't like tiki taka, either.
