The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said that Kyle Walker ‘deserves’ his suspension after the defender kicked RB Leipzig’s André Silva in a Champions League match in December.

‘He deserved the three-game ban,’ Guardiola said. ‘When a player does a stupid thing, he deserves [punishment].’ The club appealed against the decision to give Walker a red card but Guardiola said that he disagreed with the decision: ‘I said right after the game he deserved it.’

Can't understand why some people don't respect Pep. Other managers would defend their player to the death instead of saying they deserve the suspension.
The whole club should be currently serving a ban ffs
Yea hes Still hungry with HIM
If pep was a united manager there would be an uproar in the dressing over this issue 😂😂😂
Reporter: Does he deserve it?
Pep: More than you believe
Roy Keane was right about Kyle Walker
This is why Pep so highly rated as a Football Manager. One of the best.
Great stuff Pep. Can't imagine a Man Utd manager being able to speak about a Utd palyer in such a way – and still keep Kyle desperate to play and impress. really hope they can get the UCL this time, but yeah, Kyle will be a big miss
People thinking he's criticizing his player, absolutely firing him up. Just saying he's angry because he's so important to the squad.
Pep can go to any club an transform the club in no time because unlike most coaches like Pochetihno he doesn’t compromise his principles for anyone
Yeeeh
What has walker done?
He is so sham, it is easy if you have others 15 players paid bilions of dollar to replace him
Arteta would sell him
Now that he has some time off maybe he could throw a well deserved escort party
This is not psg, pep Guardiola say 😂
Pep is plastic to a degree that it's loathsome. Gives the press conferences to generate clickbait videos.
Pep is quality
Brutal honest
Love this about Pep. Love it… I'm not a big Pep fan. But he's right here
I thought it was 3 months ago??
"I still am so angry with him! more than you believe… more than you believe"
im so hungry
I got distracted by the Walkers crisps while he was talking bout Kyle Walker haha
Don't trust this couches, You asked him to do that but you still telling TV he deserve it. Next day you play him and we keep seeing the same exact thing. People we are not foolish. Walker was sent to deliver that job. It's part of the tactical plan.
Fair point 👉
