Pep: 'It is my fault we are not persistent!`

The manager Josep Guardiola took responsibility for the lack of consistency in the Manchester City team.
The Spaniard explained that he is not yet fully comfortable with his new team and therefore he is not sure how to use the football players in each match.
'Sometimes the fault was in my ideas, because I still get used to my players, their positions and their strengths. It happened to want to play with three footballers at the back or use any player in an atypical way, but it was not working out. When that happens, no one can blame the players. I see that they train well and fight in every match.`, said the manager of Manchester City.
'I have to look at myself and think about how I can help my players. That is my job and I tell them all the time that. And because in most cases we do not play well, I am guilty about it.`, he added.

Gary Neville is shocked by the referee Mike Dean

Even the former Manchester United player, now a tv analyst Gary Neville, resented the decision of referee Mike Dean to expel Sofiane Feghouli from West Ham, who has helped the Red Devils win with 2:0.
The referee disguised himself to a large extent, the outcome of the match, after he showed a red card to a player for the entry against Phil Jones of the hosts, although the ball was controversial and the legs of the footballers have been bent.
`Perhaps the reaction of the players of Manchester United, as well as that of Phil Jones made him take this decision.`, attempted to explain Neville. `Without a doubt, he was wrong and for example not out in the second half for a rude action of Kouyate against Mkhitaryan, when he could break his leg.`, he added.
`Mike Dean is totally wrong and generally had a very bad day. Add to the ambush with goals from Ibrahimovic, the arbitrators did not definitely and helped Manchester United.`, he added.
`I don`t think anybody in the stadium expecting to see a red card and all were surprised. More disappointing is that the judge is wrong and lose the peace. I think in football, there must be video technologies, but the question remains how to be used.`, said Neville.

Manchester City does not want Eliaquim Mangala back

The management of Manchester City is worried by the possibility of the Valencia defender Eliaquim Mangala to return to the Etihad in January.
The senior coach of the Bats, Cesare Prandelli is unhappy with the shape of the French footballer and does not want him on the team.
Valencia is considering seriously the possibility to return the 25-year-old player back in January.
Manchester City does not want to hear about Eliaquim Mangala because he is not included in the plans of the manager Josep Guardiola.
Manchester City paid 32 million pounds to Porto in the summer of 2014 for Eliaquim Mangala.
Valencia may redeem the rights of Eliaquim Mangala from Manchester City for the amount of 15 million pounds, but the Spanish club via soccer-tips will almost certainly not take advantage of that opportunity.

Strootman will get punishment

The midfielder of Roma Kevin Strootman almost certainly will take the punishment from the Italian Football Federation, which could cause a melee in the City derby against Lazio.
Roma prevailed with 2:0 in the derby, which was marked by a mass brawl between football players. It all started with the opening goal in the match predicted by soccer-tips in the 64 minute, after which Strootman poured some water on the reserve player of Lazio, Danilo Cataldi and that led to a conflict between them both. Cataldi got Strootman for the shirt and put him on the ground and in the next minute the officials were trying to stop the fight between the players of both teams.
On this occasion, the Federation have requested videos in order to assess whether the Dutch player of Roma deserves a penalty for his involvement in the scandal. The referee Luca Banti actually showed a yellow card to Strootman, but it was not clear whether it is because of his lush joy or because of the incident with the water.
If the ticket was for the joy after the goals, the Federation has every right to punish the referee a lot more seriously, probably for two or three games.
