Pep’s Spurs (H) Post-Match Interview

[Bluefen]

Creativity is most certainly a problem. We used to create something like 10/15 chances per game. Desperately trying to score without a no 9. This season we only need to give Haaland 2/3 decent balls and struggle to do so. It’s a typical city problem. Stop overthinking and overplaying the ball and pass it into space for the big fella to have a shot. It’s like we got used to playing a certain way and can’t change it up.

Not utilising Haaland is a disgrace tbh.

I heard a stat on Why always me podcast that on average aguero got around 45-50 touches a game… Haaland is in the mid-20s (which is not a criticism of a Haaland - just a fact he sees comparatively less of the ball)

If you couple that with typically our wingers are high, wide and inverted - then you have three creative players seeing much less action and the reliance is on the midfield to make up that creativity

It’s no wonder we are struggling to make chances

I don't think it is ? if the officials are hell-bent on not giving us anything, then why put yourself in the firing line
I really think teams like united and the so-called elite use the advantage they have with the officials and will do anything to win against us, you see it all the time faking injury or the softest of touches next thing the card out

so you let players like rico get hacked ad infinitum, as you say we get nothing off the refs, don't think so, a few home truths to the likes of that twat hojbjerb is ok by me and i want it

on the no one stood up for Rico bit. I am 100% sure if berny or walker had been on the pitch they would have, especially Bernardo who isn't afraid to kick off

you only have to read the match day thread to see the entitled fans we have ,if i could be arsed id trawl through those half time comments and fucking shame the slapped arses , the match day thread is nothing short of embarrassing , i have never spoken to a blue face to face and heard them spout so much shite as i read on there, you call yourselves blues, your not, your glory hunters the worst sort of fan and i wish half of you would fuck off, spoilt cunts

I wasn’t on it for that game, but can imagine there was some ott stuff said. But do you ever go on Matchday threads of other clubs? Probably not, why would you, but complaining about the comments on a Matchday thread is like complaining cos the sky is blue.

I don’t know where you sit, but as a citizen card holder i get the pleasure of sitting all over the ground across any given season and comments like ‘oh fuck off Sterling, that was shite’ for one example (deliberately not naming a current player) and the rest are certainly ones I’ve heard a few times. I come out with all sorts of stuff during the match simply because I’m stressed AF and want us to win so much. The sort of stuff I would never say, and in the same way, at any other time.
If you genuinely want half of us to fuck off, that’s a bit sad to put it mildly.

 

[Silva Citizen]

If only we’d had Pep and the standing Kippax. He’d know what passion is then.

 

[Ric_010]

It stands for Fucking Old **** mate (genuinely)

There’s me thinking it was free of charge

Can't believe how many posters have jumped on the "City fans are shit" bandwagon. As though our fans are any worse than anyone else's. It's exactly what our enemies want and assists them in their bias. The critics, of course, are exemplary fans who cheer and chant all the time and have never left early. They haven't even mildly cursed when Eddie has dropped a bollock.

At the same time, they don't want drums or someone directing chants. They don't like light shows or half-time entertainment because its "cheesy". All part of modern life I suppose. I'm perfect, you all need to improve yourselves.

 

[jollylescott]

Pleasing to hear Pep put the boot into the leadership upstairs.

The Board of Directors must be quietly celebrating the ‘net spend trophy’, and half expecting an invitation for a lap of honour on the final day of the season.

It both annoys and amuses me that the Board endorsed the sale of Raz and Zinny without replacing them. I can hear them slapping one another on the back over a glass of port, and admiring one another’s business acumen and financial penny pinching.

While our Board celebrates the ‘net spend trophy’, Arsenal, Chelsea and the scum will be moving heaven and earth to overtake us.

City aspire to be the biggest club in the world. It’s time the Board actually took the gloves off financially, backed Pep to the hilt, and stop making Pep fight battles with one arm tied behind his back.

So good on you Pep!

Not really the point though is it. And he said as much later on.

The fuckers spill onto the pre-match threads and moan, whinge and whine there way through spouting negtive bollox and slagging off players before a ball has even been kicked.
