Anyone know who the guy is in episode 8 in the changing toom that has his face censored. He's also on stage at the parade and again has his face censored

Bobby Madleys dog handler?

Episode 6 - When Pep meets the Sheikh note what's on the Coffee table. Press cuttings of every single Manchester City season . I so want that maasive book. The page it was open at was Manchester City's 1936-37 season title win.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, he's an asian-looking fella, fairly sure he's the owner, or high up in the ELS limo company that do a lot of the transport for City. His face was unblurred and visible in the paintballing segment in an earlier episode,



EDIT: His face clearly visible in that same shot on Victoria's instagram, so not sure what the deal is.

Watched it all today. Apart from the 7th episode; yes, I know I should have watched it but I couldn't. I'm not a masochist.
Loved it, great viewing.

Absolutely loved it. The biggest thing I'll get from this is how much grassroots is still in football. Sounds a daft thing to say but we've all been sanitised in a way to think it's all run differently if that makes any sense.

"Massive"?

Hmm.

In the first episode showing the depth of the squad, there were 2 names on their list of CB targets that were censored. I can see that the first one is Laporte, but can anyone else see who the other one is?

Van Dijk

I would too, my point being to say it refectled on him poorly is a bit ott wouldn’t you say? His job isn’t tactics and analysis. As a player involved in watching team mates not follow runs and concede goals you can see his frustrations in saying “we stopped running” he may be right, he may be wrong, reflected poorly? Do me a favour

IMO it reflects poorly because Pep is telling him his ideas about why we lost a match are bullshit. How thinking winning individual battles is the problem is completely and utterly wrong.

To be the one player shouting about us losing because we lost individual battles and have the manager to say pretty much "no, that's bullshit, your idea of keeping it simple is wrong" in front of everyone isn't a great moment for him, and then Pep has to tell the squad not to focus on the bullshit idea of football being simple, but to keep doing the complicated stuff they've been doing all season.

Delph is basically falling back on the old dinosaur english 'stick it up em' approach when we lose, and after 2 years you'd hope that he'd be thinking more like Pep.

Hopefully he'll have learned from it. Overall I think he comes across really well in the series.

After watching most of the episodes I now fear that Peps time with us and our success is fleeting. The intensity is so high that it surely will burn out soon. IMO we have this season and next season at most before it’ll change significantly.

I hope we are planning ahead.

And there’s me thinking Pep’s intensity was already legendary. That’s why he took a year off after Barca.

He was never likely to stay at City for a long time and Ferran and Txiki know that.

I would not be surprised if he takes an international job next, possibly after a break, and then quits management.

Hmm.

Give over.
It really is a huge book. Leather bound 4 inches thick with the height and width 2" bigger than a broadshhet paper.
