Pep calling out the home fans
Away fans are great
Good on you Pep,
Spoilt for years, back the lads at home for fucks sake

Agree.

It’s now got to change at home.

We have to be the 12th man. We have got to used to winning. It’s against us right now & the team deserve a noisy city stadium

We needed this to get the slump out our system. Cmon boys a win Sunday puts a lot of pressure on arsenal before their game (regardless of the games in hand )

He’s right atmosphere shocking this season

Anyone offended by Pep from these words needs to have a serious look at our support. Last season he praised us many times for the atmosphere, this season it’s been dead. Hopefully that win gives us all a spark.

Pretty damning of the fans by pep

He’s spot on Fordy mate.

The Matchday thread is a mirror of our fan base and it was fucking shambolic. We have so many slapped arse wet fannies in our ranks it’s unbelievable.

I’d bloody love a go on Izzy

Steady on

 

[KingGeorge]

I guess but this isn't the way to go about it imo

He is coaching the fanbase like he coaches the players. He thinks we are capable of more, and he is challenging us to be at our best as a fanbase. I actually like it, but I respect your opinion.

City are back

I'm simply amazed at some of the rugby tackles they were allowed to get away with

Most of them on a teenager.

 

[meltonblue]

Hard to clap paint drying. Acknowledge that we've been fucking boring to watch. That 2nd half is what we've all been begging for. Aggressive attacking football, mix it up ffs

He’s not asking for a clap though, to be fair. He came across as just as annoyed as anyone with the players in the first half, I think he’s asking for more reaction in general, not solely praise.

Goal drought of Haaland ended (130 minutes)

 

[daveiw01]

Apparently, the waistcoat has already had a shufti with a view to England selection. No doubt, he'll play him as a centre forward though.

No, I think we're short on fullbacks..... :P

 

[jollylescott]

Well well well.

I'll have my humble pie warmed with a splash of custard please.

I hope there's enough to go around! It's going to have to be a pretty big pie lol

 

[Stoned Rose]

Great post though I had to look up the word 'bumbaclart'. Jamaican slang for 'arse cloth' apparently. Who knew?

Rudeboys everywhere like this post.

He was the same when he reffed us before at home, don’t think he’d know what a foul was if it bit him on the arse, just another in a long line of whistling wankers!

A better atmosphere can drive the team on at times when things may not be going are way,wolves on Sunday we need to be at it ..

Pep saying the players lacking passion.

 

[Bluearmy]

What was Pep trying to achieve with that interview? His players come back from 2 unlucky goals down to win and he says they lack passion. The fans give a little boo at half time when 2 down and they lack passion too. I suppose it is an example of his high standards and expectations.

Looked put out at half time….. and not happy in this interview. Lack of passion/desire

I think it is very clever from Pep, personally.

He is choosing a moment where it seems like we have got the passion back (team and supporters) to call out the fact that we haven’t actually. That more work needs to be done. He didn’t just call out the home fans, either—he took responsibility for needing to reignite the fire in the team and the supporters.

Personally, I think this is the exact right time to say these things. Because he wants everyone, especially the players, to know this can’t be the normal performance, because it isn’t sustainable.

WTF was that interview about.

"The players have no passion or Guts and the fans are shit" .

Fuck me i was feeling happy :-(

 

[cleavers]

I thought (the crazy shit 2 minutes apart) that we played pretty well tonight, not at our best first half, but superb second half.
