Does Pep watch other games in person?

[117 M34]

Every so often when watching a game on TV, the camera will show a manager of another team sat in the stands watching, usually when the manager's team is playing one of the teams playing soon.
I've never seen Pep doing it in the 10 years he has been here.
Does he do it and I've just not seen them games or does he just trust the scouts to do it for him?

Think that’s a thing of the past, barring international managers.

The scouting and analytic networks clubs have along with recorded access to every game via scouting camera means managers can do it from home/whilst travelling etc.

People are paid to analyse the last 9 games of the opposition for analysis, and it is a full time job.

Not in person, so it can be paused, replayed etc - it is more effective than in person.

Is this from January 2018 when we played Cardiff in the 4th round?

There must be occasions when he's watched Barcelona

I've seen Pep watching the opposition once or twice but that was year's ago. A complete waste of his time and energy doing that now.

I remember seeing photo of him in the stands at Camp Nou when he was in charge at Bayern.

I read the title as prison, I thought how long have I been asleep for?

Don’t blame him for picking that one particular game ;-) the Mansfield chairwoman is rather attractive to be fair

I wonder if he ties his laces in a single bow or double? I won't rest until this is resolved.

His matchday instructions to the players included wearing industrial grade shin-pads and body armour.
Bastards spent 90 minutes kicking our mob and once we'd gone two up I was hoping we wouldn't try for a third to avoid injuries.

I think he uses a false bow
