Man United fans all say the same thing about Pep Guardiola’s post-match outburst
Show/hide article…
Pep Guardiola had an eventful evening on Wednesday.
The Manchester City boss must have thought that his side were going to fail to record a victory for the first time in 19 matches as the clock ticked over the 96th minute against Southampton with the scoreline at1-1,
But then Raheem Sterling intervened with a brilliant late winner .
The Englishman’s second late winner in a week secured a dramatic victory for City and furthered pretty much everyone’s belief that they will run away with the Premier League title this season, only for Guardiola’s behaviour to then steal the show.
The City boss was seen entering the field of play after the match had finished and seemingly engaging in an angry confrontation with Saints winger Nathan Redmond, although he later explained that away as simply telling Redmond “how good he is.”
And the fact that the incident happened after the match and not during it hasn’t stopped some Manchester United fans from making a very salient point on social media.
Because if this had been Jose Mourinho - who has been banned by the FA on numerous occasions for his behaviour, including once for kicking a water bottle - then what would his punishment be?
Well, what do you think?

Pep Guardiola must be punished for Nathan Redmond rant - anything else sends out a terrible message
Show/hide article…
Here’s a question: if I was managing a group of eight year olds and my team scored a dramatic late winner, would it be acceptable for me as the manager to go haranguing a player from the other side in the same sort of manic, aggressive way as Pep Guardiola did Southampton’s Nathan Redmond on Wednesday night?
No, of course not, even if I was trying to compliment the player, if not his team, as the Manchester City manager claimed he was trying to do with Redmond.
So why should such behaviour be acceptable at the top end of the game watched by millions? If the Football Association fail to take any action against Guardiola over the incident at the Etihad Stadium, it will not only tell other Premier League managers that it is acceptable to behave in such a manner, it will also give managers at all levels of the sport the belief that they, too, are okay to act in a similar way.
This is not about wanting to see Guardiola banned from the touchline. He is a marvellous coach and, like his team, an entertaining watch. Rather, it is about drawing a clear line about what is and isn’t acceptable. The behaviour of some coaches at grassroots level is bad enough without them being given cause to think they are fine to carry on as they please.

Are Manchester City kings of the last-minute goal? Top 10 scorers in final five minutes revealed
Show/hide article…
Raheem Sterling has turned himself into Manchester City’s saviour this season.
Sterling, the England international, had failed to show his true worth at the Etihad prior to this season, but the 22-year-old has exploded into life throughout 2017-18.
And in recent weeks, when Pep Guardiola’s side have been struggling to perform at their best, Sterling has popped up with some incredibly vital goals.
He scored the winning goal against Feyenoord in the Champions League, then achieved the same feat in consecutive Premier League matches against Huddersfield and Southampton.
What is incredible about these winning goals is that they have all come in the final minutes of the matches in which they were scored in.
Sterling’s winner over Feyenoord was netted after 88 minutes, the strike against Huddersfield came five minutes from time, while his wonder goal versus Southampton came SIX minutes into time added on!
Man City have proven they have that desire and ability to fight until the final whistle that all champions possess, but have they scored the most last-minute goals in 2017-18?
You can see the 10 teams who have scored the most goals in the final five minutes of Premier League matches this season by clicking the right arrow, above…
*All data correct as of 30/11/2017. Only goals scored from 85 minutes onwards in Premier League fixtures counted towards total.

Nathan Redmond should be honoured for not clocking Pep Guardiola
Show/hide article…
Let’s face it, Pep Guardiola is lucky he did not cop a right-hander from Nathan Redmond.
Whatever he said, however complimentary, Guardiola was literally spitting mad. Just look at the pictures.
What right did Guardiola have to be in an opposition player’s face like that?
What right did he have to yell demonically at a footballer who has absolutely nothing to do with him?
What right did he have to lay a hand on someone making his calm way from the field of play?
He had no right at all.
Don’t come out with the passion tosh, don’t buy the ludicrous line that Pep cares so much, he even wants to bless guys from rival teams with his advice.
Redmond, according to some, should be honoured by Guardiola’s foam-flecked feting of his talent.
Redmond should be honoured for not clocking him.
Playing football from another planet cuts you an awful lot of slack, it seems.
That the incident might have been viewed differently had it been Jose Mourinho instead of Guardiola goes without saying.
When Pep behaves like this, it is eccentric. If it was Jose, it would have been malicious.
Let’s just imagine, in the Manchester derby, Mourinho gets Raheem Sterling by the collar immediately after the match and gives him the bulging-eyed, both-barrelled verbal treatment.
You suspect Guardiola would have something to say about it.
Mauricio Pellegrino should have told Guardiola, in no uncertain terms, to keep the heck away from his players.
Redmond, apart from looking a little freaked-out, did not seem to take offence so that’s OK then.
No, it is not.
If the Football Association takes no action, it is giving carte blanche for pumped-up managers to go ranting and raving at opposition players after the final whistle.
Yes, emotions were running high after a dramatic finale to the game but that is no excuse for a coach to tell someone else’s responsibility where he is going right and where he is going wrong.
Managers on the pitch after a bog-standard game has gone too far, anyway.
Remember the times when it was a rarity? A firm handshake, a polite wave to the crowd and take your leave.
After all, the players are the stars of the show.
Maybe we are all to blame for creating the cult of the manager.
Maybe we are all to blame for revelling in the technical area Punch and Judy show.
These managers can’t keep off the stage nowadays. Jurgen Klopp’s post-match heat map, for example, is frightening.
At least Arsene Wenger, grumpy or not, can be relied upon to disappear pretty quickly. Old school, you see.
That is why he will probably go unpunished by the Football Association for this preposterous piece of arrogance.
That, in the immediate agony of a last-minute defeat, he thought Redmond might like the benefit of his crazily-animated advice is nothing less than exactly that.
He is a brilliant coach, producing brilliant stuff, inspiring match winners such as Sterling to be more brilliant by the day.
But in this instance, he overstepped the mark, and if Guardiola is let off and Mourinho - once banned for kicking a water bottle - cares to point out the FA’s inconsistencies, he will be quite within his rights.
Playing football from another planet cuts you an awful lot of slack, it seems, but it should not make it one rule for Pep and one rule for the rest.

Pep Guardiola slammed for Nathan Redmond rant: ‘If Mourinho did it, there’d be uproar’
Show/hide article…
The Man City coach was involved in an animated discussion with the Southampton winger after his side beat the Saints 2-1 with a last-gasp Raheem Sterling goal.
The video went viral on social media, and it showed Guardiola shoving the Englishman and shouting whilst Redmond remained calm as he trudged off the pitch.
And former Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has berated the Catalan coach for being too exuberant.
He told talkSPORT: “That was over the top, for me.
“A manager going to another player, who is not your own player and putting your arms on him and pulling him around – we all love Guardiola’s passion and I’m not saying I don’t like it, but to do that at the end of the game.

Pep Guardiola reveals what he was saying to Nathan Redmond
Show/hide article…
Pep Guardiola DID give Nathan Redmond an amazing pep talk following Manchester City’s win over Southampton.
City boss Guardiola looked highly animated after the final whistle as he had words with the Southampton winger on the pitch at the end of the game.
It looked an aggressive exchange but a Saints source confirmed that Guardiola was paying him a warm compliment and also offered some encouragement about how he could get even better.
Redmond replied while covering his mouth, but it was only to thank the City boss.
Guardiola said afterwards: “(I told Redmond)) how good a player he is. Last season he destroyed us here. I didn’t know him last season, I realised how good he is.
“He could not attack because they defend all the time, but that is what it is. I spoke with Oriol Romeu as well, with (Virgil) van Dijk and with my players as well.”

Redmond reveals the details of Guardiola’s ‘passionate and intense’ chat
Show/hide article…
Nathan Redmond has revealed the details of his “passionate” and “intense” chat with Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City boss Guardiola was caught on camera appearing to berate the Southampton winger following the full-time whistle on Wednesday night.
Raheem Sterling curled home a sensational winner for City just seconds before time.
And as soon as the match was over, Guardiola ran over to Redmond to have a word with him.
One media report claimed that Guardiola called Redmond a “w *” as part of a foul-mouthed rant, but Guardiola claimed that he was nothing but complimentary to the England youth international.
“Yes he was very passionate, intense and aggressive but he was only very complimentary and positive to me,” Redmond revealed on social media.
"He commented on my qualities as a young English player and how he wanted me to attack his team more during the game in a similar way to last season.
"I told him I was doing what my manager had asked me to do in the game. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.
“Nothing negative or offensive was said towards me from Pep and that’s what makes him one of the best manager’s in world football.”
Redmond added: “Losing the game the way we did in the last kick of the game after working so hard for 90+ minutes I was very disappointment (sic) but when one of the world’s best managers compliments you or gives advice in any way, you listen.”
Redmond replied to Guardiola’s comments while covering his mouth, but it was only to thank the City boss.
Following the game, Catalan boss Guardiola attempted to clear up the discussion in his press conference.
He said: “(I told Redmond) how good a player he is. Last season he destroyed us here. I didn’t know him last season, I realised how good he is.
“He could not attack because they defend all the time, but that is what it is. I spoke with Oriol Romeu as well, with (Virgil) van Dijk and with my players as well.”

Redmond reveals what went on between him and City boss Guardiola
Show/hide article…
Nathan Redmond has revealed that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was ‘only very complimentary and positive to me’ after the two came face-to-face at full time on Wednesday night.
Guardiola approached Redmond seconds after Raheem Sterling’s injury-time strike had given City a 2-1 lead against Southampton at the Etihad.
The City boss grabbed the winger around the neck and pushed him in the chest before shouting at him.
Guardiola was alleged by one media report to have called Redmond a ‘w_*_*r’, but the England international has since said that was not the case.
‘I’ve just seen this story and felt I had to say something and clear a few things that are floating around right now,’ he wrote on Instagram.
'I want to make it absolutely clear that the Man City Manager, Pep Guardiola did not say what The Sun is falsely claiming in this story.
‘Yes he was very passionate, intense and aggressive but he was only very complimentary and positive to me.’
Redmond added that Guardiola had revealed to him that he was an admirer of his and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t attacking as much as possible.
He wrote: 'He commented on my qualities as a young English player and how he wanted me to attack his team more during the game in a similar way to last season.
'I told him I was doing what my Manager had asked me to do in the game. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.
