Perhaps CITY+?Not on bbc I player yet :(
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to BBC Sport and it sounds as though he is not particularly impressed with the attendance at today's game.
The official crowd at the Etihad was announced as 39,223.
"It was not full. I don't know why," said Guardiola.
Speaking about Wedesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg with Manchester United, Guardiola added: "It gives a chance to go back to Wembley. Hopefully they will support us more."
One of the times I did, perfectly happy to admit it, because it hurt so much I thought it was hanging on by a thread. I was out three months recovering.
This sort of player slagging is just beyond understanding for me. What point is there? What purpose does it serve?
I know, nevertheless.......By the laws of the game the red was the correct decision.
Here we go, fans getting their knickers in a twist about a little comment. Yeh maybe he shouldn’t have said it and backed us a little but he just reacted to the reporters question. He’s managed the biggest clubs in the world and has been accustomed to playing in front of fanatical fans. We’re a different set of fans more subdued, and when we have a poor attendance the atmosphere tends to be quieter. Still can’t work out why fans leave so early. It’s not as if they can blame traffic congestion being it’s a Sunday.Didn't hear him whinge at playing in a half full Nou Camp for most of his tenure, he's such a rag sometimes, stfu and manage the team.

Yes, you have.Completely missed the point
Therefore the other poster should have also understood.“Reporter’s trap” implied it was a shit question mate....
What?!?Love Pep for what he has done and hope it continues for many more years but i will never have the love or the connection i had with other managers like Mancini as he just doesn't get us.
He's here to do a job and to improve his CV and we benefit from that so i'm not bothered in the slightest if i don't find a connection with him.
But too many times he has sold the fans short. He could have answered that question better, instead answering honestly just gives the reporters the go ahead to spin it. Just praise the fans who did attend and supported you or ask your Spanish mates why the Etihad is a souless place nowadays.
For reference, i watched on BBC1 and glad i did.
