He did lose his mother to corona Virus just a couple of months ago maybe he just doesn’t give a feck..

There’s a joke about Pepto-Bismol and Pep-abysmal somewhere.....

That doesn’t have anything to do with erections though...
Depends what you're in to tbf...

I'm all for laughing at the lord Pepus and his bunch of shitty men, but this is in extremely poor taste, ffs!

You should be ashamed to bring this up in a piss take thread.
I was being serious if I lost my mother I wouldn’t give a feck about football for a long time.

Jokes aside I do have some sympathy for him right now. He just lost his mother to covid and even though he's always been abit weird in interviews and such he does seem abit extra "off" lately.
Maybe I'm looking into it too much but the grieving process is different for everyone and that last video where he was saying everybody should apologise to him and City was actually just quite difficult to watch imo.

As much as I despise our rivalry with City I do hope he is okay and in a good frame of mind.

No, what he means is that he doesn't want to have to think about the wider context, he wants to talk shit about people indiscriminately.
I don’t think that’s any reason for me to be ashamed, merely sticking up for a guy going through a hard time be kind and all that.
As @Ole'sattheWheel put it better than me it could be the grieving process, or I might be looking into it too much.

In all serious, I think it’s just far too easy to penetrate there back end.

Maybe it's the skinny jeans cutting off circulation? You can't expect to distribute balls as effectively with such restrictive attire.

Because his entire time at City has been based on having a great attack and an average defence. Over the course of 6-7 games against the best teams in Europe this will get exposed.

Mental factors. I think he wants it and push his side too hard for it. They are not calm and relaxed in these games unlike normal league games. Pep shows it on the sideline and he do not inspire anything that helps his players mentally.

Might have to trade the wife in for a younger model.

the wife being City, you know, to go along with the semi pun :)

I don’t like explaining jokes but I felt it necessary.

Because he is done at this level unless he adjusts his tactics.
Teams now know how to play him. They let City have the ball in certain areas and block off passing lanes down the sides.
Teams dont come out looking for the ball out if frustration anymore, they protect against the overloads.

He's a Barcelona fan and season ticket holder. Doesn't want anyone to win it but them, sub consciously sabotages his teams with crazy tactics so they go out ?

Without Aguero they are half the team. I thought the game would go exactly as it went. Lyon sit deep, and City run out of ideas. City are average defensively, so I think in their own box they can give you a chance, and going forward, they are one-trick and pass, pass, pass with few ideas. Aguero is the difference, and they are easier to play against than people think for good teams.

Losing to Comeback Winning!
:D Glad they're out again.

Pep is not good at motivating his players I guess so as others have said, mental factors. They're good in a shit cup competition and in league, where their quality of players and system helps a lot, but not mentally. I'm not sure if they have this winning mentality as a team.

It is like he is always trying to proof his genius in these big stage games and goes for a more experimental tactical approach and line up instead of his league proven successfull style
