Former Manchester City defender and English Premier League champion Joleon Lescott says his 2012 team would lose to the 2023 Manchester City team due to Pep Guardiola being the best manager ever. Lescott says Mancini was not bad but rather Guardiola too good and says the players on both teams were equal. #shorts #football #soccer #sports #premierleague #epl #manchestercity #guardiola

More goals in the Mancini team, better defense in the current team
KDB and foden cant lace prime yaya and silva boots
He's on crack. Where does Pep go that doesn't already have the best players?
I agree
23 wins.
Lescott is nowhere near the level.
If 2012 players were so good why did they win the title by getting lucky against QPR?
The disrespect on Mancini is crazy, yes he is not on Guardiola level but, he had the record for most points in a Serie A season ever, Premier league title and Euro title, and he has a lot of wins in tournaments compared to league titles, so in a one off game, i don't think Pep is that much better.
Now, Pep is probably better at buidling a team that can win for an entire season (even tho mancini is great at that as well) but a one off game? i am not sure, on the contrary…i think, with all due respect, that no, the 2012 team in terms of player…is not that close, he was a great team for sure, but still not hat close to the quality of players that this squad has.
What a great question and a great take from lescott. It’s an interesting point he raises
2012 win even with Mancini. Aguero, Kompany, Yaya, Silva were all some of the best players the PL has ever seen
Aguerooooo
