Found tactics frustrating at times in first half especially with how they were going to play & spurs game still in mind but pep is brave at times & got it right in that 2nd half
 
Thank you Pep. Kept it "simple" and was rewarded. Please no experiments for the rest of the season Pep, stick to what's worked all season and we will have plenty to celebrate at the end. When he plays everyone in their best positions or as close to as possible they've not let him down.
 
Great post-match interview..

That's what I was talking about... Those stupid crosses against Spurs and high-tempo game and everything we experienced was the reason we lost.. Bernardo was talking in the interview as well, that making 1000 crosses for 1 assist - when your team looses the ball more and concedes more is stupid, because the end-result is more important than the individual statistics..

This Pep team especially thrives in low-tempo game.. Where we make a good build-up, then move the ball via small passes around the opponent's box and when the right moment arrives - make the final move AKA key pass.

When you don't do above mentioned steps and the moment you receive the ball - make a cross or something stupid / risky - that means that opponent gets the ball, makes the counter and etc. and etc.

That's why this "basics" should never be forgotten and everyone must obey the rules / style. Otherwise we will get result like we got against the Spurs..

Who else was confident as soon as they saw the team line-up?

Me...the key for me was an in-form Mahrez starting & Bernie not playing a false 9 position but close to Rodders for protection against the United counter.

The bonus was Grealish having a blinder & helping us control the game which I don’t think Raz would have on the left wing.

I knew he’d pick Grealish after his performance at Peterborough. That’s one of the many things that make him brilliant: he motivates them individually and knows when psychologically they need a start, whether it’s to play themselves into form or to capitalise on an upturn. Grealish is now feeling like ten men and will get a run in the team.

I agree but can you reduce your words down to less than 7 letters.
I'm trying to understand what you mean but the wife is checking up on my messages and thinks I'm having an affair with Prince Andrew

Having Grealish back helps Pep decision to not play Bernardo in frontline, it's not coincidence the moment grealish did not play because injury the team as whole suffered for months. Grealish is necessary sacrifice for the good of team even he didnt make goal or assist, it allows the other have space and making chances for themselves.
