No - I think you're off base. Other home sides have been far more vocal.

The Loudest Fans in the Premier League | Visual.ly

The Premier League season is about to get underway, but the bragging rights start here. Where did your team’s fans rank when it came to passion and

That’s just a decibel count. Doesn’t show what games they were recorded in, where in each stadium they were recorded from, what moment in each game the readings were taken and has sod all to do with anyone being ‘far more vocal’.

I think it is very clever from Pep, personally.

He is choosing a moment where it seems like we have got the passion back (team and supporters) to call out the fact that we haven’t actually. That more work needs to be done. He didn’t just call out the home fans, either—he took responsibility for needing to reignite the fire in the team and the supporters.

Personally, I think this is the exact right time to say these things. Because he wants everyone, especially the players, to know this can’t be the normal performance, because it isn’t sustainable.

Never. Doubt. Pep.

We’ve lost one game since he gave that infamous interview (to Spurs, who used up so much of their energy to win the “We Beat City This Season” Cup, they’ve only won 3 of the following 10 matches).

He knew what he was doing (along with sending Cancelo off to Bayern).

Getting rid of that mard arse was a master stroke

I genuinely think cutting out the negative influence of Cancelo and giving KDB a very public dig of needing to be simpler in his play have been the turning points.

Cancelo going has given Grealish room to breathe as well as bringing Ake in making us more stable at the back and allowing Jonny Stones to perfect the inverted full back role without any real pressure because there’s 3 CBs to fall back on if it goes wrong.

While getting KDB back to his best has meant having 4 CBs at the back as well as a 6 hasn’t been too much of an issue because it means the front 5 can be trusted with attacking and being effective. Haaland, Foden, Grealish, Mahrez, Gundo, KDB, Bernardo and Alvarez are all contributing whenever they play whereas it was only really Haaland and Mahrez (Alvarez at a push) who were beforehand.

Brilliant management from Pep again, shows it’s not just about decision making on the pitch where a manager can make a massive difference.

Anyone still think Pep’s interview after the comeback win against Spurs was a bad idea?
