Pep's Reaction After Bernardo Scored

[Grassland Blue]

Notice the difference between a coach who is rightfully acclaimed as the best in the world, to that of a Norwegian who sits for nearly 90 minutes in his seat offering no guidance nor encouragement to his sides dismal players.

A man in control vs a controlled man?!

I thought it was mostly on Shaw, who could have smashed it clear quite easily. De Gea's problem was that he should have been a yard forward so he was in front of the post - the ricochet would have then gone out.

I think Bernardo was probably hoping for a corner off the keeper.

Until the ball bounced gently towards the back of the net...

What a manager we've got..

He's the best in the business by fkin miles..!

Ollie can't be far off, surely! All those pilchards he ate as a kid?

Until the ball bounced gently towards the back of the net...

yes, and when he stopped being upside down and saw what happened.

I've said earlier that I wonder if he heard de Gea swearing!

That is a very good synopsis GB.

One specky twat doing the wanker sign, the rest of the crowd apoplectic, err, apathetic I mean. What a shower of not rights.

I think it’s shock. If he has slotted it top bins from outside of the box then he would have had a very different reaction in that part of the ground

I thought they were all about the roll mop in Scandinavia. Not pilchards

roll mops and dime bars

It was a weird goal. The delayed reaction from everyone, even Bernie. Pretty sure the City fans didn't go mental until Bernie ran off celebrating.

As someone who was in the away end, you're spot on. I think we all assumed that De Gea had tipped it round for a corner. Being where we were, and with the delayed reaction of the players, it was impossible to know that it had gone in. We weren't the only ones though. My boss - a United fan - was down near that corner where Bernardo celebrated and he didn't think it had gone in at first either. A City fan I work with was watching at home and he didn't know. Bernie's delayed reaction seems to be because after getting the touch he slid off the pitch and as he's sliding he's facing the opposite way so would've practically needed eyes in the back of his head to know straight away! Of course, I've watched it back since and a couple of players do have their arms in the air as soon as we scored but then don't start running to celebrate with him until a couple of moments later.
