4 wins,10 draws 9 losses in 23 away games in the CL.

Tactically in Europe he is found wanting and in big games against big opponents he tries to be to clever with odd formation changes and tactics.

His CL success was managing a Messi (at the peak of his powers) led Barca team with a insane Iniesta Xavi Busquets midfield trio.

2014 with Bayern at home to Real he changed from a 4-3-3 formation they played all season and switched to a 4-2-4 formation and got countered constantly by a Prime Ronaldo and Bale on the flanks and got beat 4 -0

2015 at home to Barcelona he changed formation again to a 4-2-4 formation,pushed his fullbacks right up the field to pin Barcelona in their own half trying controlling the pitch and trying circulate the ball and pin barca in their own half,it was simply a stupid decision by Guardiola which in turn and isolated Benatia and Boateng in a suicidal highline,Enrique saw that adjusted his team and barca just bypassed the Bayern congested midfield with long balls down the flanks giving neymar and messi loads of space and destroyed bayern going 3-0 up in no time,MSN that night just made Guardiola look stupid.

I didn't see the game last night but i read that he played a 6.2 CB in Laporte at LB against a pacy twisting player like Salah which is odd.

And that he also played Gundogan In RW,a player who isn't mobile or fast and is a deep lying playmaker changed to a role where you have to be mobile up and down and he has to track the movement of a pacy Mane and Robertson.
 
Found out how good a manager he is for certain. Wonder if Arteta will employ all he's learnt in his first job.
