Pep has a problem with black players all the time
No matter what Mourinho said when he was on PL, he was always slamed, but for Pepe where cames the excuses…
But it is true, Phillips were overweight and the standard at City is pretty high, let this be a lesson learned, don't arrive overweight again. It is what it is and it is not like Pep did what Mourinho does, throwing the player under the bus every time something goes wrong. Big big difference.
If it was Mourinho they would go in on him, Pep gets away with murder
Cause its true?
Don hutchison has been spot all,,why can't we have a manager who says truth openly.He has nothing to manipulate or hide.Grow some spine english media.
Because he was!
Shaka is always the smartest of these guys
Agüero said it loud he was benched because he was overweight , there is nothing wrong with this
"why do we have to protect the player all the time" is the richest thing I've heard from anyone from this panel. Lol. Trent has been way off form and they've coddled his image 😅😅😅
Dan is really trying to push whatever his narrative is on the other pundits. stop that Dan. you have been doing this lately. becoming very irritable.
Pep didn’t need to call him out like that In public, He could’ve just said he’s not ready to come back
There’s no way Phillips gained 8 or 9 lbs . Maybe 2 or 3 lbs, really shouldn’t be a big deal, probably hasn’t trained properly with the National team since he wasn’t gonna play
shaka's loud mic is driving me crazy
Dans right xD no Matter what he does, even if he scores 300 goals in one Game. He Will always be remembered as the fat one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 school yard rules!
Pep should actually play him …he's hardly going to be lean sat on the bench …sell him or play him
Dan sometimes forgets that English is not Pep’s native language. Just like Zabaletta can’t articulate nuances in his ‘punditry’, Pep isn’t the best to come up with English euphemisms that’d rub people like Dan the right way. Would Dan have been pacified if Pep had said ‘off target’ instead of ‘overweight’? Well, Pep wouldn’t be proficient in English well enough to do that.
He's half cast their lazy accept it
If it was Mourinho then things would have been quite different
