After the game mid-week he said referring to Gundogen "I'd like to thank Txiki for buying him for me" as if he was a special birthday gift, he has total respect from top to bottom

Gunders certainly looks like a great purchase. You hardly notice him he's that fluent in the play.

Mancity put the full pc by mistake on their website, where they included the 5 minutes Q&A for dailies, after the MSM media part was done. It was in response to the first or second Q in that segment. Dunno if the website still has the full 20-odd minutes PC.

We signed Bony to appease Pellegrini.

I agree that the incoming manager influencing signings before he's arrived has helped him hit the ground running but feel it must also be acknowledged that it made it more difficult for the manager at the time to exert his authority and control and the team/club suffered as a result, this is something that's largely ignored I feel.

Absolutely bang on the button.a few of the Pellegrini haters on this site would do well to put themselves in his difficult position at the time and Imagained how they would have coped.it's good to know that some blues understood our previous managers predicament .
 
A great clip, surprised it took this long before Pep reacted to the litany of stupid questions

I suspect he'll start ignoring certain reporters if they insist on stupidity
 
2 or 3 things....

Did he say he doesnt know why Kompany is on the bench?

Liked when he told the reporter "you been saying how hard the prem is , and now you are saying thhey are all easy games - FUCKOFF" Well, he actually didnt say fuckoff but I hope Simon Stone took it that way.

He is planning ahead. Already telling the team to prepare for losing and what to do, how to react etc..... Impressed!

Pellegrini has gone way down in my estimation rather than up, since Pep got here. He was much worse than I thought, by comparison. As I thought at the time, he had the best squad by a country mile & couldn't even stop Fellaini from bossing the game at the swamp & us losing 4-2 from being a goal up. Should have gone then.

Anyhow, forgetting that, this comment re 'long balls' is actually relevant to Pep's assessment of the game rather than just a wind up imo. He was talking about the pressing not being as good because they played more football, from what I could tell. It happily creates a nice wind up, but it's a genuine football point.

Which is even funnier.

How does a manager that is clearly there just to hold the fort motivate players to perform for him? You can have all the quality in the world but without motivation you've got nothing.

Dunno, ask DiMatteo.

Got sacked after 7 months as the team were woeful, shite outside the champions league which was a complete fluke. If only Bales cross hadn't deflected in or we'd gotten an undeserved goal, we might have fluked a CL on pens too.

.I agree it was a genuine football point,and it's clear to anyone Bournemouth have indeed played more tidy passing based football than any side we have player in the league so far.and Pep could have easily added our pressing wasn't as good as we played midweek,Bournemouth didn't, but I don't think he used that excuse,compare Jose who blames everything he can.
Going back to Pellegrini..Fellini bossing the game at the swamp is a poor illustration of why u think he was a crap manager; it was Yaya who stood and let fellini do that ,I doubt Pellegrini will have told him to be so immobile in central midfield.?
If Navas had put away that chance early doors ,at the Stretford end,we would have been 2 nil up and cruising..again,not pellegrinis fault.
It is a bit silly to compare any former City manager with Pep...u could say they were all crap by comparison..the point that I and another above are saying is that u don't take into account the pressure he was under knowing he was a temp manager and would be sacked come what may and the players knew that too.motivation is everything.that's bound to be eroded when the next manager is telling the club who to buy whilst your still in the job.a crappy performance at the sty is neither here nor there on that single issue.
