Pep Guardiola: "I didn't expect that comment. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. If he sees the calendar he will see it was not two weeks, it was two months

Pep Guardiola: "We had Covid, we had one week, we played with 14 players at Stamford Bridge. Maybe I'm wrong and it was two or three week. Tomorrow when I see Jurgen, I will ask him how long we had off. I'm surprised, I thought Jurgen was not that kind of manager

get in pep

PEP The reason why we won a lot of titles is because everyone is important. We cannot get big prizes with just 12/13 players. When teams win they drop, but we are still there that’s because we have many good players. But we miss Sergio and Kevin and Nathan - so come back asap.

Such a dig at Klopp treating his best players as carthorses and then acting shocked at the injuries.

Most of our visits to Anfield under Pep have seen us change our setup slightly. It’s only really worked 2 seasons ago when we were a missed penalty from a perfect result. The rest of them remind me of the Mike Tyson quote about everyone having a plan until they get punched in the face. It seems as City’s plan works until they concede an early goal.

Last season, in 2018 (twice) and in Pep’s first season we conceded early and really struggled from there on. It would be nice to go in front at Anfield as we haven’t had a lead there since the League Cup match in 2012. It would be great to get in front and see how Liverpool deal with it.

Ultimately I’m a little concerned by all the talk of us getting a win on Sunday, despite our recent excellence. Something about Anfield seems to bring the worst out of our players.

Hopefully we’ll put the hoodoo to bed on Sunday but given how desperately Liverpool need to win and the fact they should have a few players back I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat us again.

City:
December, 8 games in 26 days
January, 9 games in 29 days
Total: 17 games in 55 days
W14 D3 L0

Liverpool:
December, 8 games in 30 days
January, 7 games in 28 days
Total: 15 games 58 days
W7 D5 L3

So over December and January we have played two more games than Liverpool in a span of three fewer days.
Also it has to be mentioned that they had an FA Cup tie at home to what was essentially Aston Villa’s youth team.
This after playing almost three weeks later into the summer but only being afforded one week later to start this season.
Some two-week break, that...
