Pep’s Spurs (H) Post-Match Interview

[chris85mcfc]

I thought it was interesting that he said that some of the players are lacking fire in their bellies, after leaving Bernardo, Kev and Foden on the bench

It feels to me as though these are largely the 3 that he needs more from, who's standards and performances have dropped off this season, and who we need to get firing in order to get serious in this title race

Only one of those 3 came on tonight, and I'm sure it was only because Gundogan was absolutely cooked, and we had little else on the bench

When you consider it, we've just played Spurs at home without starting these 3. Probably not something you'd have saw coming this time last year.

Loved the mind games with Arsenal, at the end.

 

[Gumzy97]

Left back situation in the summer must've pissed him off as well

Embarrassing supporters. That home crowd are passionless. Soulless stadium and has been for a long time. United fans created an amazing atmosphere at Old Trafford last week and they’ve had not a lot to shout about in recent years. I think we have the quietest Fanbase in the Premier League. Away fans brilliant. Home fans disgraceful. Always leaving early. Never create an atmosphere. Liverpool at Wembley outsung us for the best part of the day… booing A pep Guardiola team.. you are embarrassing and brought shame on my club. I actually have started hating our fan base. Sort yourselves out and get behind The greatest Manchester City team and management I’ve ever seen.

They were dreadful in the first half man. Those fans had every right to boo.
Hindsight is 20/20 now, but things looked increadly bleak before that 2nd half turnaround.

That was pretty strong.
I interpreted that as the home crowd have become entitled and this fucking league is not easy to win. So get off your arses and give us the support to go and win another title.

As much as I agree with you , what’s really changed from this season to last? WC aside , what’s different?

Also liked the dig at Liverpool. “We aren’t 20 points behind

Did they f*ck create an an amazing atmosphere at Old Trafford last week, bar the last 10 minutes after United scored twice. I stopped reading your post after that.

Can't knock anyone who puts their hands n their very deep pockets to go.. needs vocal 'fans' from here to go / beg borrow or steal a ticket ..then get behind the team when we get there. We have a very loyal and tbf quite old fan base. think Everton were the only club wth a longer standing ST base. We just need more effort from us key board fans n all honesty

Pep has an entire trophy case filled with trophies and yet he still has this type of passion. It is impressive to see, he is a special individual.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

If we lose the best manager I’ve ever seen at this club because of mardarse entitled fuckers booing our own team I’ll be ashamed of what we’ve become. Back pep all they way and he’s 100% right to call that out

Well said lad.. I feel the same. I am ashamed of our shit support. I can see him thinking. What have I got to do to get this lot going. Great team and manager. Very very embarrassing shit support that leave early always and never get behind this wonderful team.wake up boys and girls and stop Whingeing

 

[City Raider]

Pep is obviously angry about the booing. He thinks there should be enough trust in the bank after the last few seasons. It’s hard to say he’s wrong.

They weren't dreadful. Slow, lethargic and as Pep says without fire but still the better side. Went behind because of an individual error nobody could account for. The half time score was not reflective of the game even if the team weren't at their best. Booing was completely uncalled for.

 

[Decepticon]

Fuck me he's angry!!!

Quite a worrying comment imo , why now ? We had a harder season last season ? With getting knocked out in an undeserved fashion v Madrid , then busted our guts to win the league ? I’d say it’s odd tbph with you.

A sense of entitlement seems to be working its way into the fanbase. People need to refocus and back our team.

Honestly he’s got to think he’s a victim of his own success.. if we’re not winning 9 out of 10 games he’s shite in the eyes of some. Joke

 

[Tolmie scores]

The majority of the fans who sit near me never open their mouths until we are three or four up. They’ve been going for years and us winning trophies doesn’t seem to change them.

I sit in SS3 and pay less than £20 per game.

Our home support is shocking.

ts an old fan base though, we can't have loyal fans through thick and thin then moan that they are all nearly 60 ffs

 

[WNRH]

Had a go at everyone except his paymasters who are the reason why the atmosphere at home is declining with their sanitised tourist centric shite they are serving up on a week by week basis.

Understand what he is doing but he’s gone about it the wrong way again with regards to the fanbase. We continue to turn up in our numbers home and away and we are rewarded with £68 tickets and a fucking shit light show.

The support can be better at home but then so can the other 19 premier league clubs but the other 19 premier league managers aren’t attacking their own fans to get a reaction.

Words create headlines and perceptions that stick regardless of how exaggerated they are and we are attacked enough as a fan base from all angles without our manager joining in for a reaction.
