I'm sure they won't win the league now, nine points behind Chelsea who have got all the momentum. Only Liverpool can feasibly stop Chelsea winning this league now.

That's a pity.
The opposite of Mourinho. One inherited a club that needed work and although it took time to implement changes things are now starting to improve. The other went into essentially a ready-made set up and it started well but now the influence is being felt results are turning sour.
What they need is a massive overhaul. This City side are still basically Pellegrini's.
Pep has spent over a hundred million so far.
It's closer to 200 million I believe
Not saying that City weren't overall in better shape before the transfer window, but they finished level on points with us last year. They also needed a lot of work- not 'the opposite'.
They are threatening in the attacking areas, but average in midfield and defence.
What happened to their inverted fullbacks, 5 attacking 5 defending?
They were never good in the first place and as soon as the form of de bruyne silva and fernandinho began to dip, they started losing games, lost confidence and reverted to being the very limited players they've always been

We'll be above them by the time Fernandinho returns
wtf, is he that pissed off because of the sending off? I didn't see the game so no idea what went on.
This body language...
Wouldn't surprise me if he's just frustrated at Fernandinho. Idiot challenge in absolutely no danger.
He's so fecking weird
He looks like he thoroughly hates it here in England.
I got nauseous from the camera panning left and right following Pep.
I'm happy. Happy new year
Of course he does. Doesn't get to be a flat track bully and spew BS about style and how football should be played.
I'm happy. Happy new year
Is he okay? They need a helpline for some of these Premier League managers. They don't look or sound very comfortable under the pressure of the media, who, let's be fair, are a load of cnuts.
Weird.
He's getting in my tits with the passive aggressive strategy in addition to thinking that he's a genius and everyone else is an idiot.
And yep Pep, you have to understand the rules in England, not the other way around.
I think that's a good interview personally. Don't get me wrong, the process is odd and there's language issues in there but the point is made and he sticks it straight back to the press. It reminds me of early Jose.
He is weird...
Yep, I feel the same. I've felt disconnected from City for quite a while but interviews like that will bring me back onside.
As for you lot celebrating us missing Fernandinho, he'll obviously be a big miss but we're actually a better side with Fernando in it. He sits in front of the defence and protects it, and in big games we'll need just that.
I like the obvious frustration he's shown there in that interview too. We battled with 10 men to win a game, showing good character in the process. Yet, he's unhappy because we aren't playing the way he wants. That attitude will drive us forward in the long run.
Fernandinho needs to get his head together. That's his third red card this season, completely unacceptable.
Off to China he goes. Can't blame him to be fair. You can see how much he has aged in the last few years.
Someone's gotten Media training with Mou
That was awkward, wouldn't be surprised if he quits before his contract is up.
HAPPY NEW YEAR BERTIES! Your manager cant stand you and is quitting football
His itw.... What a joke
I could actually see it that he will take over Spain for one or two more turnaments after he has done his time at City and retires after that.
Change of subject but how confident are people that we can catch City? There's no reason why we can't but I just think they have that extra bit of quality in their squad. It's a tough ask but there's obviously a chance, it would be absolutely fecking brilliant to steal their CL spot.
On the topic of Pep, this Mourinho quote seems to be relevant right now:
'When you enjoy what you do, you don't lose your hair, and Guardiola is bald. He doesn't enjoy football.'

Is Pep finding the Premier League a little too intense or something?
