Mad innit. It's full of irony and sarcasm and gallows humour. The British press think that only British people can do sarcasm so don't get it. And some City fans think he "doesn't get us"! He would have made a great blue following us in the 90s with some of his asides and jibes. His press conferences are some of the most City things I've ever seen, you could tear them out of King of the Kippax - it's just we are successful now.

And the saddest thing is that when he would be asked about football he would love to give his insight about the game in itself.
Media doesn't care because they are dying and crave for headlines.
 
I loved his “they have a better airport than us” comment. Possibly aware of them claiming they’ve got the best everything
 
Should not have tempered with Bernardo position and our recent starting best eleven against Tottenham in particular.
 
Let's play our slowest CBs and have them sit in the Spurs half vs Kane and Son, what could go wrong?

Losing the game and Gundogan is the only goal threat? Leave it as is.

Pep we have a promising young 6'2 striker on the bench who is probably better suited to getting on one of these countless crosses than Bernardo is... "we are not 3 goals up so no youth players allowed on the pitch".

Cancelo is tired and getting exploited down his side might want to look at getting Ake or Zin on as it could cost us..
 
The best of all time, but the mistake always seems to be trying to force gundogan back in the team on top of instead of in place of the other number 8's. Gundogan basically our best player today but if he wants him in bernardo or de bruyne have to drop out, our front three was muted as a result.
 
With us

Record against Conte:
P5 W2 D0 L3.

against Klopp:
P14 W5 D4 L5

against Solskjaer:
P9 W4 D1 L4

against Jose:
P9 W4 D1 L4

against Nuno:
P8 W4 D1 L3

against Tuchel:
P5 W2 D0 L3

Total: P50 W21 D7 L22.

The achilles heel that will always let us down.
 
All his fault today, and at this times we see that our squad is not that brilliant like media want to sell. We offer Torres to Barcelona, and no Jesus, no Torres, nothing...

Picked the team everyone was happy with. Not sure it’s automatically on the manager after a defeat.

No, it was on everyone. Pep could see what we could see, and didn’t change it. Whoever thought lobbing crosses to Bernie and Foden for 90 minutes was the way to go needs to have a lie down.
 
Goodness me, Pep had a stinker.

The high line to invite spurs, bravo!

Taking off Raheem was nonsense.
Leaving Cancelo and Kev on to produce mistake after mistake was brainless.

We clearly have a mental block vs spurs. Not good.
 
Had a shocker today. Set us up completely wrong, hard to blame the players for most things when they're carrying out peps instructions. Got it badly wrong and I'm not sure we really needed to have any specific pln to beat these today. His tactics hindered the team, he's cost us more than any player. Let's not make it a regular thing please Pep, we don't need a return of the overthinking just as we approach the must win every game stage of the season.

Whoa whoa whoa.

I agree that Pep messed up the line up, but how can you not blame the players too? They were shit.

It's not his fault they turned into morons.
 
His mistake today was not learning from the first goal and changing things when we went 1-1. Kane was the threat. It was clear as day and it should have been closed down. He didn’t do anything to change it.
 
Love pep but on the odd occasion he totally baffles me. We desperately needed a wise fern in the middle & Delap in their box in the 2nd half.

I hope he learns today as Liverpool & Utd will also play on the counter & we can’t leave that much space
