@@josighahplays2161 the treble winning team was at the same situation last season as they are at the moment this season.

[@josighahplays2161]

@@AshirwadSarmah it's 1 leg of the cl, Arsenal can easily turn it around against Porto, Arsenal also don't have the quality depth in all positions as city do and it's Artetas first managerial job. Man City are the favorites of every competition they are in so yes they should be top of the prem at this point, they have also looking diabolical defensively lately and the only reason they have gotten away with it is poor finishing from opposing teams. City's defense is so vulnerable whereas Arsenal have a solid back-line and are now backing it up with finishing the chances they weren't earlier this season, which was the only real problem. When u look at the goals of each team Arteta is much more on track than Pep is at this point, plus Pep against the top 6 teams this season has been absolutely shocking, they've barely won a game.

[@yeonlee5]

1. Pep - no debate about it and his system is almost like an enigma at this point. 2. Don Carlo - Eyebrow raise aside, him and real madrid just go hand in hand 3. Xabi Alonso - Maybe I'm rating him too highly, but his tactics is almost genius (overload in every position because the two wingbacks become defenders, midfielders, and attack. Can't really find a weakness here. Also brought a relegation threatened neverkusen to a neverlosing team. 4. Klopp - Prime Klopp is still a legend, but he looks like he's run out of ideas at this point. Still a formidable manager, but the team needs a rebuild. 5. Arteta - People can say he's not original, but he is to an extent. He's someone who takes attention to little bits of details and those details add up to massive things. For example, the way Saka receives the ball to open up the pitch inwards instead of traditionally on the wide. 6. Inzaghi - Never though I'd picture Inzaghi being here, but he's an extremely underrated manager. similar playing style to conte's inter, but inzaghi's inter just seems more secure. 7. Postecoglu - If it wasn't for injuries, who knows what could have been for them this season. I honestly predicted them outside top 8, but this team could go somewhere next season if they support him. wingbacks to attacking inverted midfielders is just crazy and it sounds so stupid, but when spurs play their system right, it's just so easy on the eye. Risky, but again, fun to watch 8. Emery - Let his work not be underrated. Villa were in a relegation battle before he came. Competing for UCL spot while in European competition. We know what he does on a good cup run, but his tactics tend to backfire from time to time when the 3-5-2 becomes a 5-3-2 and villa just sit back. A very tricky manager 9. Michel - Girona aren't first anymore and they probably won't win the league this season, but the goalkeeper as centerback is just crazy but also it kind of shows how one crazy idea can lead a relegation team to the top. But this story is one of what could've been an it could've been the biggest achievement since Leicester won the title. 10. Simeone - Not the best season, but for me, he's top ten. Atleti have been an on and off team this season, but counter attacking atleti is a scary one still. Poch is not even in my top 15 managers list. He barely makes top 25 for me.

I think I just favoured likes of Amorim and Bosz over Motta, Roy etc is due to competing on all front, not just in the league. Michel is there because they have likes of Blind, Gazzinaga, Juanpe, Garcia, Martin and Stuani that were all rejects elsewhere, nobody wanted them, most free or cheap transfers, most over 32 years old.

Simone Inzaghi with Inter Milan 146 matches 318 points (2.18 per game) 98 wins 24 draws 24 defeats 290 goals 120 conceded

[@DruovanniDefoe]

Klopp had a whole new midfield to bed in.. He's dealt with almost a whole starting 11 worth of injuries, and has directly instigated and changed the game multiple second halves this season with shrewd substitutions and debuting multiple academy products... ...and still has LFC at the top of the league with only 2 losses and the 2nd best goal difference all season... Nobody's better...

[@susheelchandra244]

My top 10: Xabi Alonso Inzaghi Michel Arteta Pep Klopp Ancelotti Ange Emery Luis Enrique

[@bsaragiotto]

1. Ancelloti 2. Klopp 3. Alonso 4. Arteta 5. Pep 6. Inzaghi 7. Michel 8. Emery 9. Amorim 10. Ange My list 😊

[@yudhispokemon]

Apart from Poch at 10, Serie A league leader at 6th & Pep being ahead of Arteta, this is an excellent list. (Just move Pep to 6th, Inzaghi to 5th & Arteta to 4th) No way Pep is the best manager this season while EVERY OTHER league leader this season is below him. Sam has lost it.

[@samadeyemi2113]

Give a lot of respect to Simone Inzaghi and what a very good manager he is. Coaches with most victories in their first 300 Serie A games: 179 - Simone Inzaghi🥇 172 - Carlo Ancelotti 171 - Massimiliano Allegri 165 - Maurizio Sarri 164 - Helenio Herrera 160 - Giovanni Trapattoni 158 - Roberto Mancini 158 - Fabio Capello 142 - William Garbutt 138 - Antonio Conte

[@alphazero5421]

Jurgen Klopp for me has to be first, the way his managed Liverpool this season is insane and the amount of injuries he has to deal with is more then any club in Europe. (12 players out) On top of that he is bringing in youngsters and still winning games still on top of the table, certainly in the most competitive title race we've seen in years. Also in a running for a quadruple. Jurgen Klopp has shown true genius level football this season, I think Pep would struggle with the amount of injuries Liverpool have.

[@mmalivetv3]

Give over, it's clear Alonso has had the best season so far. 33 games unbeaten, new Bundesliga record set beating bayerns run of 32.

[@mr.taranex6009]

At least two from Thaigo Motta, Sebastian Hoeneß, Ruben Amurim or Peter Bozs deserved to be in the Top 10!!! All four are doing outstanding work at their clubs this season!

[@matejturk]

Sky sports: Who is the vest this season? Sam: Here are 10 managers I know by name and the are well known over the past 10 years. Lawrence: *an actual list for this season* Other: *shocked and raging*

[@stevenpapieconteh7054]

really u are 90% correct the only argument I have is between Pep and Mikel Mikel should be up and Pep down because of the resource and material they have Poch 10?

[@tibinification]

For me it’s 1. Alonso 2. Klopp 3. Ancelotti 4. Inzaghi 5. Arteta 6. Pep 7. Emery 8. Michel 9. Ange 10. Enrique

[@JustAddChemicalX]

I am shocked the discounting of Artetas achievement. If you are talking about pressure theres no bigger than what he picked up when he arrived at one of the biggest clubs in the world. He then is competing in the PL at the very highest level. Lets not forget against managers at their very best probably the best two in the world in Klopp and Pep. How on earth does that not atleast put him in the top 3 managers.

[@lennertverschueren7951]

poch at 10 is mental and that's coming from a chelsea fan

[@kaskovic1993]

Top 10 1.Pep 2.Carlo 3.Klopp 4.Enrique 5.Flick 6.Alonso 7.Arteta 8.Ange 9.Inzaghi 10. De Zerbi

[@isaacwanmamaikarfi1688]

just Laurence said is like there is a bias on Arsenal in that room,Mikel arteta has done way higher above Pep, and Mikel should be somewhere around 2nd or 3rd on the list, Sam messed up in this show

[@TheKingSkillsBW67]

Pochetino in top 10 is excellent! I’m an Arsenal fan and I know what it means to rebuild a team and Pochetino has done amazingly well. Chelsea underlying numbers are very very impressive. Definitely one of the well coached teams in Europe right now. They’re not yet a top 4 team but he’s doing everything so well. They’re gonna be a very dangerous team after the upcoming preseason. Most people don’t want football with the right understanding of numbers. Chelsea underlying numbers compare so closest to Arsenal and City, a lot!✍️ If you doubt what I’m saying, go research.

[@lloydtopher1505]

Sam literally said these are the dudes who did best previous seasons.

[@lloydtopher1505]

I commented this half way through, but the minute he said klopp is 5th really made it show he didn’t understand the assignment

[@goldytwatus1674]

Lawrence is right about Pep, except when he says Inzaghi should be higher because he's got his team to 1st, being 1st in Serie A is not equivalent to being 1st in the EPL. The standards are worlds apart

[@giovanniebrady966]

If Sam could chose his top 10 would be Poch, Frank Lampard, Tuchel, Mou, the Chelsea under 21 manger, the under 19-manager, The u15 manager …… etc.

[@lijah_3008]

Sam made no sense talking about the injuries City have had like Arsenal haven’t got Partey out and Timber injured his ACL and he looked quality😂

[@Amaviller]

How's Klopp above Arteta? Arteta is above both Klopp and Pep. He beat them both this season and Arsenal has so many injuries too. The city has almost two equally strong teams.

[@abhiramkoushik2173]

My List of managers for this season would be: 1.Alonso - Leverkusen 2.Klopp - LFC 3.Guardiola - Man City 4.Ancelotti - RM 5.Inzaghi - Inter 6.Arteta - Arsenal 7.Michel - Girona 8.Enrique - PSG 9.Emery - Villa 10.Postecoglu - Spurs PS......Having Poch and not Enrique in the list based on this season is INSANE

[@aloysiusmaina2625]

Compelling argument against Pep. Inzaghi is having an impresive season. The only ones likely above him are Klopp and Arteta. Michel is an easy 4th!

[@adriunt6988]

Alonso plays golf?

[@user-yr2gt3lt1w]

Omg how would poch be in the top 10. Pep-klopp-arteta-Gary o Neil-de zerbi there’s 5 and Aston Villa’s Emry The girona manager Alonso Ancholotti The inter manager as they are way out in front. That’s 10 already 😂

[@marzipanmonkey]

The reason Arsenal haven't been as exciting as they were last season is because Arteta has clearly been managing the players better with the intent of having more in the tank for the 2nd half of the season which we've seen over the last few weeks. There's no point going gung-ho for the 1st half if you have nothing left to work with for the 2nd. Has nothing to do with a lack of ideas - if anything bringing in Havertz and changing things up has made the road to here a little bumpy but we're starting to see some positives from it.

[@theafricanlife1385]

Saying arteta has everyone is crazy.Half is squad had been injured this season,he lost key members too

[@kentyapp4870]

simone inzaghi has to be on top of the list for how his team achieved this season,,, best attacking team and best defending team now,,, also they play a beautiful football

[@batomycolourconcept]

Totally disagree with the Poch name on the list; even Ten Hag is currently better than Pochettino this season. My list would have had Klopp, Arteta, Xhabi, Pep, Emery, Ancelloti, Girona coach Mitchell, big Ange, Tuchel, Luis Enrique

[@saeedabdulrahem1832]

Inzaghi Ancilotti Xabi Klopp Arteta Pep Motta Michel Unai Xavi

[@joekelly4635]

Arsenal have not had everyone available with continuous injuries to Jesus,partey,timber,smith-rowe

[@hammedalli5547]

The argument that Pep has enormous resources implies that he has more players on the field than everyone else. Don't forget that his is known for keeping a small squad, with some academy players in the team this season. He has coped well with injuries unlike those other managers that are given a pass for their injuries list. Peps level of pressure is higher than most coming from winning treble. Every team is motivated to raise its performance against Man City. In all the games this season, his team has outplayed the opponents apart from Villa game The same thing cannot be said of any manager on that list. Pep is a victim of his own success.

[@pranitshrestha3981]

2 people were ranking these 10 managers here but in reality, only one of them has a sense of what actually the list is judged on. In my perception, Tuchel and Poch right now are out of the 20 best managers giving Poch a little bit edge than Tuchel. Out of all these managers, my rankings are as follows: 1. Xabi Alonso (Leverkusen) 2. Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) 3. Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid) 4. Simon Inzaghi (Inter) 5. Miguel Angel (Girona) 6. Pep Guardiola (City) 7. Luis Enrique (PSG) 8. Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) 9. Unai Emery (Aston Villa) 10. Ange Postecoglou (Spurs) (I prefer to give a shoutout to Stuttgart Manager on this one)

[@dalewilsonii1945]

Have to give Peter Bosz at PSV a shout here boys!! Unbeaten in the Eredivisie and in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. Drew 1-1 in first leg against Dortmund

[@prince.5921]

Pochetino being there and not Thiago Motta is crazyyyy

[@adriunt6988]

You could argue Sebastian Hoeneß or every second Bundesliga, Serie A or LaLiga manager. Basically people who don't have a billion pound squad and are still better than 10th in the league. Yeah he reached a cup final and lost it wow that doesn't really matter. It's like those guys only know the Prem.

[@Dyn__]

Would love to see loz back on a football podcast, I enjoy hearing his insight

[@Lemon_hellyeah]

Pep being outside top the three is criminal. And so even thougb Sam was being bias, his argument to back up Pep amd stuff was pretty spot on. Thats exactly ahat it feels like.

[@jackblake1217]

Loz makes some great arguments in this video but getting cute with Pep isn’t one of them. His best player his missed almost the entire season, the best striker in the world missed 6 weeks, and they are still competing on the three fonts of the treble. He may not be 1, but he putting him outside the top 3 is madness.
