No I don't think so. If I read that right, Phil is pissed and showing it. Pep wants happy faces, in training and especially when not selected - he has been clear about that from day 1. If thats true its up to Phil to knuckle down, work hard and get over his disappointment.Pep clearly just making stuff up to justify poor team selection. Picking happy players over better options. Oh dear.....

Not really sure what that has to do with the post you replied to which was about controlling the chances we give up when different combinations of players are used. We weren’t rubbish either, just not quite good enough to overcome Evertons spoiling game, it happens to us most seasons in some games and the same people over react ever season and then go quiet when we win the league usually.Brentford was just two PL games ago hardly an impressive stat saying we haven't dropped points since then up until yesterday.
We were rubbish yesterday with that team selection and no amount of spin will change that.
The point isn't that we're on a huge winning run - it's that we weren't rubbish against Everton.Brentford was just two PL games ago hardly an impressive stat saying we haven't dropped points since then up until yesterday.

Haaland and KDB possibly as he can play without either if he wants to Rodri not so much.The happy thing with pep has worked but if Haaland Kdb and Rodri had a slapped arse all week do we think they would be sitting on the bench come the weekend game?
More evidence (if any was needed) that Pep is off his nut. He really is an odd character.
Genius and madness frequently go hand in hand.
And KDB plays well when unhappy. I guess Phil is unhappy because a player with less ability is getting starts ahead of him. Who wouldn't be.No I don't think so.

Jeeze I can't beleive you thought we were not poor vs Everton. We created so little with that team and formation. But each to his own.The point isn't that we're on a huge winning run - it's that we weren't rubbish against Everton.
We stopped them almost completely, and were unlucky only to score once. Sometimes these games happen, but it wasn't a poor performance.
I pointed out Brentford because we were genuinely poor that day, that was the last time Phil started, and Pep specifically referred to the last three games, and we've played three since the Brentford.
Phil consistently creates more chances than either Mahrez or Grealish. But by your judgement we won't see him start the next two games because Grealish and Mahrez played well against Everton is that what you are saying?The point isn't that we're on a huge winning run - it's that we weren't rubbish against Everton.

Nobody that wants to succeed in Peps squad.And KDB plays well when unhappy. I guess Phil is unhappy because a player with less ability is getting starts ahead of him. Who wouldn't be.
