That's what I did after the first episode. He can be hard to understand when he gets worked up, can Pep. Some of the subtitling is a bit odd though; "Brian Diaz"? "The King Palace stadium"?Miserable git

Nope, it was 100% targeted at Sane. Couple days back BBC interviewed Kevin about the documentary and one of the questions was regarding leadership and stuff. He said that he felt responsible for helping the young guys and then specifically talked about the Wigan match where Sane was subbed early on (because of Delph's red card) and he was pretty annoyed by that. So Kev consoled him and told him that it was nothing personal, just tactical and for the betterment of his own career, he should avoid being negative about such things in front of the manager because some managers don't like to see that. Those are his direct words from the interview. And then if you watch the episode again, you can see in the background just before Pep starts speaking, Kev is consoling Sane who seems pretty pissed. So the story aligns really neatly.
Thing is, it's all good and well being the better team but if you can't get yourself up for these games then you're fucked really. And every time we play them arseholes, they're always better at it and we seem overawed. We are obviously better prepared, as shown in the documentary, but there's something above talent and preparation that Pep needs to figure out and rectify.Carles Planchart puts it best in ep6. "If we're at our best, we're better than them".
That's why it's annoying that we lost. And the bus, and the shitty refereeing, but mainly it's because we all know we're just better than them, and losing to a worse side is fucking infuriating.
Watched the first 4 last night, hairs on arms and neck standing up, something in my eye with peps pre match speech v spuds for our dave, brilliant :)
That's the way i read it too.Interesting as I took it another way,
To me Ferran was doing his job by asking if they could stop it, as he should, but he kept pushing the fact that it might be impossible so wanted the others to confirm it and let the fans get on with it, he really didn’t seem that interested in stopping it at all imo.
