That's absolute false. Lillo spoke fluent English before he even joined City.

It's so fucking weird how social media rats targeted Lillo, one the the greatest football thinkers in the history of the game within the actual industry, and saw he had grey hair so decided he was useless.

I have so little respect for these "casual tacticos". They don't know how Lillo is so just randomly make up shit about him. Same as everyone else. Pep L is a "Klopp disciple" despite the fact he's absolutely not. We won a header at a corner so the new set piece coach is wonderful.

I'm getting pretty fucking irritated with opinions of idiot football fans. Might just leave the online space altogether idk.

Just wanted a translator explaining each question and replying for him for fun here?

Good rant, but I must admit to being happy that we won a header at a corner ;-)

It wasn't targeted at you, more a general frustration at how Lillo is treated by people who don't know who he is. Jack is wrong that Lillo doesn't speak English, I've watched him on a panel where he spoke it perfectly well enough by football standards, in fact it was a YouTube video I think so it might still be out there.

And its just classic press nonsense mate. Everything new is fantastic and revolutionary and positive. Everything from last season was terrible. But its all fixed now. We beat an Egyptian team and the worst team in the competition outside literal farmers, and only nearly got countered about 6 times so everything is great and positive and it was all their fault you see. Because they "didnt communicate the managers thoughts enough". Imagine getting slagged off for not telling other people what someone else thought who literally speaks to people themselves. Maybe Pep should have communicated Pep's thoughts?

And if we dont beat Juventus then we get knocked out by Madrid, what does he write then? How its all falling apart and Pep needs a calming influence.

Bringing in a set piece coach a few weeks ago has not changed our set pieces at all. I'd be shocked if he's been able to run 3 sessions between the necessary pre-season fitness and tactical work. He hasn't even had time to do anything. But we win a header so now he's a genius. I saw someone praising Pep L the other day because a City player was pressing. Because hes a Klopp guy right and someone pressed so its his influence right? The fact that Pep Guardiola basically invented modern pressing and City have been the best pressers in world football for almost a decade doesn't matter now. Its all him. And Kolo. Apparently we've brought in Kolo Toure because he was at Liverpool. The fact that he's been working for us for ages as Oliver Reis assistant is purely a coincidence, it was the 20 minutes he spent as a player, not even a staff member, under Klopp apparently.

Its just lazy. None of City problems from mid season have gone away. They might go away, given time on the training pitch and if Pep doesn't go through another divorce, but people are getting ridiculously carried away in terms of how everything is fixed now based on two new staff members in a staff team that has about 30 people in it. Jack Gaughan and the like love to write these stories because they excite people and their sources get to air their gripes. But the reality is that no one person changes anything. If we score a corner it doesn't mean James French is a genius and if we concede one it doesn't mean he's a fraud. People need to be patient and stop falling for these obvious "need some daily content" non-articles.

Most of you must have had training sessions as a kid right? You understand how this works. You don't just magically become amazing at something because a coach changes just like you don't magically become Albert Einstein if your math teacher changed in school. You may well do better over time. How many sessions did it take to get a single new idea communicated to you? 10? They'll pick something up quicker because they're professionals but you don't hand down an entirely new pressing system or set piece routine in one session.

Spoken like a person who only speaks one language.

Yes, with the entire world's media upon you while you're in a temporary position and your manager is in hospital and your only remit is "don't fuck anything up" then you speak your first language. Pep Guardiola has done about 18,000 of these now and he still gets articles written because he used slightly the wrong word.

You didn't say he knows a bit of English, you stated he was fluent. Why would he fuck anything up if he's fluent?

French got a lot of love from Pep for the Haaland goal and I can only assume it’s because of Nunes.

Although, watching it back there were a lot of moving parts (Savinho, Nunes and Reijnders movement was all intentional and brilliant).

Either way, I think he offers more than just set piece work based on the celebration!
