Phil and Jack on the lash?

Just wondering what Pep will think of them joking and grinning like school kids whilst sat on the bench yesterday ? They both looked carefree and happy as though they got away with a childish prank and it smacked of arrogance and disrespect of the club to me.

The last thing we need is a pair of jokers hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons on a regular basis. I don't dislike Grealish or want him out but if he cannot keep his nose clean and stay out of the headlines then the club will probably take a hit on his fee and offload him. I can't see him being given many more chances tbh.

The meaning is entirely in the edit here, seriously. The director will have had the cameras on them all game, and the vision mixer will have cut to them when there was something that would have continued the story. I haven't watched it back, but I imagine they cut to Pep before or after as well, cementing the The Kuleshov effect. What is more likely, that they were laughing behind Pep's back about something that happened days or weeks ago or that they were laughing about something happening in the game?

I think Pep is far too professional to play their shit down. His way or the highway.

Yeah its Peps way and Foden and Grealish have been in training for the past 7 days. No issues, no problems, both been on the bench and Foden even got on the pitch last night. Problem is resolved.

Like somebody else mentioned earlier in the thread, if they cannot be seen together in an orderly manner they need splitting up.

I'm not gonna keep replying to numpties who think their behaviour was fine, it wasn't!

*Edit. Not implying you're a numpty by the way pal

Well I've always thought players were overreacting covering their mouths when chatting to one another but clearly not! I bet they all miss having to wear masks!

Wtf are you on about? : /

If you think them larking about on the bench laughing joking is acceptable then maybe tou need to get a job at the Daily Sport or Viz.

I’m talking about you, spinning nothing into something. Ask Pep if he thinks them laughing about something on the bench while we’re winning is disrespectful and he’d stare at you with more confusion than he does Simon Stone whenever he asks his weekly shit stirring question

Nothing into something? WTF do you think they were both benched for, swapping Swizzels Love Hearts sweets or something? : /
 
To be honest, I'm not that bothered.
It's a non story really. Pep has dealt with it, so it's end of.
Posters become entrenched in their views on social media, to the point it becomes the be all and end all of winning an argument through a keyboard. I've done it myself (long time ago though) so I get that.
Can't wait for both lads to do their stuff on the pitch. And they will.

They're grown men, not little schoolkids, don't be idiotic.

Exactly, and when grown men act like little school kids then who is idiotic?

I hope both players can be in the headlines for the right reasons, and those are for being brilliant on the pitch, not an idiot off it in the magnified social media goldfish bowl.

Guardiola will only tolerate so much before he ships Grealish out of the door. I hope doesn't happen but its down to how well Jack and Phil behave in representing our club.

Said it in the Grealish thread already — the way some of you are reading into a 5 second shot of a conversation on the bench can only be compared to the weird types of over-analysis into non-events that we regularly take the piss out of the scousers and the scum for.

You want them to sit there with a face like a smacked arse after we’d just scored and were dominating a game? As if that wouldn’t lead to even more headlines about attitude problems? They saw something that made them laugh, who gives a shit, the suggestion that Pep would be annoyed at them smiling is actually absurd.

WHY IS THIS STILL A THING.

Probably due to them missing a second game due to punishment, which then leads people to wonder how bad a state did they turn up for training.

You know a fan forum for fans to discuss club matters, who would think people are still wanting to talk about it.
