Pep Guardiola: "I think the guys who are injured are still injured, the guys who are fit are fit."

And we take the piss out of the “expert” injury analysis on here. ;-)

Loved his no nonsense response to the question about playing local kids. People might not like it but he’s spot on. At the top there’s no room for sentiment, you get nothing special or extra for having a team of local players so there’s no reason to do it if they’re not the best available to him. he’s a natural winner, winning is always the goal and nothing will become more important than that.

He’s right in backing klopps comments too (he’s said the same thing before numerous times in the past but it hasn’t gained as much attention)

Haven't seen the video yet, but Im genuinely amazed he's said that given how he's made such a big deal of winning the CL with 9 academy players being his proudest achievement in the past because it's so special.

Pep was talking about local players not academy.

Is that when he's picking it out of the net?

According to the BBC, Peps only comment was supporting Klopp about the number of games played. Evidently he said fuck all about the squad and forth coming match against Southampton.
