I was being sarcastic mate

What do you think of Hoddle's comments?

He obviously hasn't watched Bayern much and doesn't think Pep has a plan. When Bayern lost the ball and got counter attacked quickly down the wings, the center backs came out and did the job of the full backs. Since the full backs were more central they'd fall back into a center back position. I'm sure Pep is drilling the team, but it will take time. As for the keeper situation it's laughable that he knows for sure Willy is only marginally better with his feet. He's been to all our training sessions has he?

Silva was good. I thought at 1-1 we might struggle to open them up without him. Is he 100% now? Thought he was Spain's best player at the Euros.

I asked his agent yesterday about his ankle.. "it's 99% good now" I'm happy with that.

Glad you agree. Some idiots on here had written him off. First name on Pep's teamsheet trust me. Captain and then protected/saved for a key game Tuesday. Can Pep make it any clearer who he rates?

never in any danger even when they equalized, thought we pretty much controlled the game from start to finish.
very intrigued with how the "nominal" full backs operated, quite sure its to help us dominate possession. once we get to grips with this system chances created should flow
sterling and stones excellent which is great to see

Hoddle talks through his fucking arse, the whole bundesliga play counter attack football.

He's just another washed up unwanted spiv who likes belittling City, he should concentrate on his shitty Spurs who he's convinced are some sort of footballing goliath in the football word.

He's up there with David Icke and he would have been burned at the stake 300 years ago.

The problems posed by a defensive Sunderland at home might not be typical. I think other visitors will try to counter-attack. Sunderland just sat deep. Nothing to say we can't handle that. The blanket possession helps to dominate opponents. I think it will get there. The commitment was total from every player which was good to see. The defence did really well with a change in keeper, new player and Kolarov at centre-back. I did think our forward play could have been better.

Hugely enjoyable game yesterday on so many levels.

Not on here mate. Clueless.

It made me feel all warm and gooey inside to see him wearing the armband. Especially when you consider the absolute dross that was being written about him on here back in February.

Absolute legend with potential to improve even more.

You felt warm and gooey how do you think I felt?... like a proud parent that's how.. I could just about pass for as I'm 46!

I did speak to his real Dad yesterday and he was genuinely chuffed to mint balls.

Everyone is so excited about the coming couple of seasons under Pep but it will take time.
