Interviews don't have magical poweres. Pep was frustrated last night. He'll praise the players in his next interview. People pay too much attention to words said in a non-native language.
I'm one of Pep's biggest fans on here, but, IMO, there was nothing genius in that interview. Pep himself seems to be confused about our performances and tries different things to help the players perform at their best. He congratulated them for playing with personality at United, then he blamed himself and said the problems were tactical, last night he was critical of the players. Pep has a lot more info than us and knows better. In my humble opinion, the group is not as united as last season and also some players are not in form. The latter is likely to change, and the leaders should help the squad get more united and fight for each other.
