Pep fuming with Ruben at after fulltime vs Tottenham... Now on the bench... rested?

Was he "fuming" or just having his usual discussion about something.

I'll go "rested".

That 1 1 prediction did actually happen once.

It’s less the prediction, more the fact malg would be happy to take it and move on… very level-headed and commendable. Personally, I’d be inconsolable. You’d find me in a dark room listening to white noise.

Yep as they were both laughing after the initial intense tactical discussion

Although I understand that KDB is KDB, I'm a little surprised that Pep isn't staying with what has been successful, given how well the team has been playing.

When should Kev start then?

You'll catch a few with that

He does every week

You’re not a doom monger though..

Seriously. Every time the media says he was fuming or lecturing, if you happen to get a close up he looks like he always does - wildly enthusiastic. And rarely does he end the convo without a hug/pat on the head/etc.

I think he’ll understand that he isn’t better than Kevin De Bruyne and therefore doesn’t have a leg to stand on. The other midfielder has to defend next to Rodri and Phil can’t do that. So if Kevin is playing he either plays on the wing, as false 9, or not at all. Just life in a team that has the best midfielder on the planet.

Grealish isn't better than Foden, yet he maintained his starting role last year because of his form rather than his level of talent.

Quieter than usual at the ground. Got a beer with no queueing. I'm piss wet though. Traffic terrible, blue lights blocked the road and my usual route so turned round and through Woodhouses. Hope it's worth it, a good result. I'm sure it will with the team we have out (cracking bench if changes required).

After he's had a few sub appearances, oh wait......
