harvey54 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Gives Grealish half an hour yesterday then rips him a new one on the pitch after the game and in front of all and sundry. I suppose it comes with thinking your untouchable as a manager but I thought it was wrong. Fergie would never have done it. And I thought Doku was even worse than Grealish. Couldn't shoot to save his life and didn't create anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shauntaylor85 Posted April 1 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1 That Man C team is finished. Been saying it for a while, thrilled that Keane referred to Haaland as a league two player, reminds me of the ex Luton striker Steve Howard! Touch and overall play is dire to watch, massively overrated, KDB also looks past his sell-by date. Think they need some new creative players. Arsenal are the future and can see them dominating for years. 2 16 1 1 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch and overall play is dire to watch, massively overrated, Don’t follow this stuff closely but that is a truly embarrassing thing to say. Just like Gary Neville moaning about Arsenal celebrating too much, the ex Man U players jealousy that their team are now miles adrift of the best 3 sides is genuinely pathetic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey54 Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 They were well off the pace yesterday. KdB has looked half fit for a while Haaland was out for a long time and not been firing on all cylinders. I think Peps loyalty to certain players might cost him this season. As for Arsenal, I've a massive soft spot for Spurs so I might not comment but I think Liverpool have the easiest run in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kid in the Riot Posted April 1 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1 Man City's demise can't come quick enough. Assuming they're guilty of even a fraction of the financial doping charges they're accused of, then when the verdict eventually comes, it will be one of the biggest scandals in European football for many years. And they'll be a big fat asterisk next to Pep and their achievements over the past 10 years. 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite clearly not ‘ripping him a new one’. You missed out referencing Grealish’s reaction. He was listening intently to what Pep was saying and nodding in agreement! Pep has these kind of conversations at the end of every game, with his own players and sometimes with the opposition as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 All three of those teams at the top have some pretty unlikeable characteristics really. I guess if one has to pick them it's anyone but Man City...buy in my ideal world I'd have none of them win it. 10 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said: Man City's demise can't come quick enough.

I suppose it comes with thinking you’re untouchable as a manager but I thought it was wrong. Fergie would never have done it. Pep is untouchable. He’s the best manager in Europe, pretty much every top European club would want him. He’s a serial winner and that showed when he roasted Grealish in public. He was clearly pissed off with JG. I’m not a fan of either Manchester club and really wanted the Gunners to nick a 1-0 win but earning a point is second prize I guess.

In terms of where the money came from, yes. And to be fair Chelsea were (eventually) sanctioned for that.

I'm just saying I think he was out of order singling out Jack in public. There were just as many players who underperformed yesterday than played well. On a personal aside I can't stand Arteta.

Fergie would have put his arm around him on the pitch and painted the dressing room walls with him when they got inside.

Arsenal are the future and can see them dominating for years. Haaland is a strange one for that Man City team. Unless he scores he hinders the team. They were a lot more fluid before and could change things if it wasn't working. Haaland is rarely subbed isn't he? So it's usually just a change to the wide players, Doku doesn't really do much and Grealish doesn't have a great impact sometimes. They miss Mearez I think. Even Cole Palmer would've given them something different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire Pep's Man City because they play highly controlled and effective football, but enjoy watching Klopp's Liverpool because they play exciting football. If I had to choose between a season ticket at The Etihad or Anfield, it would be Anfield. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern were good though Each to their own but their taking apart in 2010-11 of Real Madrid 5-0 in Nou Camp and the CL final were matches for the ages. They could be a bit sterile at times I agree but they were incredibly dominant at others and sterile games in part and we can say the same about Man City under Pep are due to the opposition playing in the best possible way to try to get something.
