Southampton (H) - Sat 18 Sep 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Has anyone at MCFC actually held Pep to account for his numerous ‘brain farts’ in key matches in the last few seasons. Champions League embarrassments, dreadful performances against the Rags, shocking FA Cup semifinal against Arsenal and the crap against Chelsea last season. This season we’ve already had the Community Shield defeat and that Tottenham setback.
We all know on this Forum when he reveals his team sheet when ‘he’s got this one wrong’..but do any of his coaching team ever say “WTF Pep?”.
His recent rants about players and MCFC fans were a disgrace.

Has anybody called YOUR Ole out for the young boys tactical master class yet.

Guardiola's press conference an hour earlier than usual today, it seems. Not sure why. Be interesting to see how he responds to questions about his comments on Wednesday.

 

[Ric]

Looks like he's doubling down and not going to apologise for his comments.

Ah fucking hell this isn’t going to be pretty.
Then again he shouldn’t really Feel the need to Apologize, if people took it one way or another, it’d be good if he explains it a bit better though.

won’t stop some people though I’m sur

Did he not learn from the last times he told fans what to do ffs out of touch by a mile

He’s going for Kevin Parker now, does nobody brief him?

Not happy with Mr. Parker it seems..

No he is in control of everything no one dare say a bad word to him it’s why we get press conferences like this!

Pep Guardiola: "Our fans will be there tomorrow. Hopefully Mr [Kevin] Parker will be there to watch us."

 

[Shaffer92]

Wow. Pep is fuming.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Pep is a genius . Doesn’t give a fuck. What a man.

 

[skillman]

Seems he’s going down the ‘I meant that we need our fans because it’ll be a tough game’ route rather than saying that the turnout was poor (which it wasn’t).

If that’s what he believes or that’s what he meant, why would he apologise? If he did apologise then he’d be admitting that was calling the support shite.

They’re not doing their job properly then!

Pep Guardiola: "We are who we are. We are proud of who we are. I learnt the history of #ManCity. I know going to the games in the lower divisions. I don't want to be like United, like Liverpool, like Barcelona. We are who we are. I am one of them [the fans]." [via

There we go, interpretation, all the slapped arses have taken it the wrong way.

 

[bert38]

Pep v spikey

 

[kippax123]

Let's hope all this crap can pull us all together and bring a fantastic atmosphere tomorrow .

 

[rowarta]

so it's volume of noise rather than volume of supporters......

 

[willipp]

One thing Peps comments and presser will do is rile us up a bit as a fan base and make tomorrow a decent atmosphere.
