Pep’s Spurs (H) Post-Match Interview

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I don’t disagree with anything you have said there.

But can we both agree we don’t want to become the rags or dippers, booing the team every time they play poorly or going through a bad patch? Or throw our toys out of the pram if we happen not to when the league once every three or four seasons?

Of course not. And I don't see it being like that.

I chose to shout crap at the half-time whistle, I don't think anyone was co-ordinating a booing-fest, minimal at best, but enough for a member of the media (Sam Matterface) to give Pep an open goal.

I'm on the same page as Pep, we have people in the team selling him and us short, I just don't think he needs to throw the fans in to the mix, it just fuels the bogus narrative about City fans in general.

Eddie has been shit for most of this season and when he does something like last night, he's always gonna get it - certainly from me.

 

[Weavers run]

Isn’t his point more simple. We can raise the roof when we choose to and he just wants that more often.

I want us to play fast attacking exciting football, I want us to play with a settled back 4. I don’t want us to be boring and slow to watch. After being dumped out of the cup, losing a derby that first half performance wasn’t good enough for this manager and these players. The roof is raised dependent on the game or what’s happening on the pitch. If what’s happening on the pitch is slow and passive who’s going to be raising the roof there. Nobody, no teams fans does. It’s no coincidence the second half was miles better because guess what; the team played miles better. Isn’t a case of just singing when we are winning, getting the fans going and excited is enough to do it on its own. Very few home atmospheres are good.

 

[city saint]

second half gealish and mahrez started taking on the full backs and we instantly looked like city of old.i dont know if pep has been telling them to play safe or not but the second half approach makes us look the dogs bollocks and i hope we continue

 

[OB1]

Doesn't mean it's ok for him to call us out,he won't be here forever,but we fucking will be

It's fine for him to call out the support if it's not playing its part as well as it could.

He get's slated enough by supporters.

 

[meeesh]

None of them “fans” were at York away for sure

Slightly off topic mate,but I just thought I’d let you know that little fucker who runs that bar in Lanzarote you told me about is a right little miserable Leeds ****

 

[OB1]

Bit of an over reaction to a few boos. We were poor that first half again and then conceding two goals like that right at the end i think just caused frustration rather than people booing the team as such. Pep is more than in his right to dig out the fans if we aren't making much noise, but at the same time don't complain if the fans dig out the players for another lack luster performance.

Did he complain about the boos?

Edit, checked the video, he's not complaining about the booing. Sky raised the booing and Pep explained it but didn't complain about it. It was the crowd being too quiet he didn't enjoy.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

City fans at each others throats is exactly what our rivals want.

No boo boys, no happy clappers. The enemy are out there.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

One for the foc's.
We need a few thousand leather lungs fans from Billy's boots or maybe it was Roy of the rovers. Got behind the team whatever the weather, performance or scoreline.

He’s the least slated City manager that’s ever lived

I was there and don’t recall much booing at HT probably because the wall of noise from the PA system that boots up when the HT whistle goes. Maybe the comfy nice people he talked about are in the vast amount of posh expensive seats that proliferate the stadium, either way i couldn’t give two fucks, we were shit in the first half, if those who dragged their arses to the stadium on a freezing cold night when they could have stayed home and watch it on the box want to let of steam then that’s up to them. I thought the atmosphere was pretty good especially second half. The season has been weird and fucked up cos of the WC bang in the middle. Either way I’m looking forward to Wolves on Sunday. Come on City!
