Pep realised the Bravo situation wasn’t one to ignore and took action - Ederson looks fantastic, will save them a few points this year too.
Is it fair to worship Guardiola at this point? | The Ball Did It

I had it at 16 after 8 games according to Skysports and Burnley had the grand total of 0 so according to SS it's 16. Still hugely impressive, thats less than 2 shots on target per game.
That so? Then maybe Pep has found himself a new Neuer, who was perfect for his idea of football.
Hasnt won anything with city yet. Lets see if he does anything different than Mancini or Pellegrini
Plus, opponents don't have the ball against you guys for too long.
Cheers. Good to hear your perspective as well.
Shame a similar sentiment was perhaps expressed with less than ideal phrasing and ensuing knives and pitch forks:

Maybe after tonights game a little doubt start sink into their mind.
Best manager out there right now, by far.
If any other manager made that comment about the ball, they'd be smeared as an embarrassment. But because it's Saint Pep, thou shalt not criticize.
Don't think he's even the best in the league. Pochettino is.
Still a total fraud. The decision to take that job says it all
I really hope the next Liverpool - City game will be played with a lot of wind and an unserious ball.

What does it say?
He needs $$ mucho dinero $$ just like our own manager
Pochettino doesn't even have a record that holds up against the likes of Wenger, the current laughing stock, let alone Guardiola and Mourinho.
Which part of Pochettinos career as a manager puts him even remotely in the discussion for best manager in the league? Mourinho v Pep I understand, serial winners, but Poch? Madness. He’s kept Spurs a solid outfit playing nice football. His win % there still only sits around the 55% mark, alongside zero trophies. You can point to net spend but if that’s the main basis of your point then Wengers tenure at Arsenal over 20 years is most impressive.
Because obviously a guy who’s won two Champions Leagues and six league titles is going to go and manage Stoke or West Brom.
You can point to Peps success at Barcelona, but he didn't improve Bayern imo. City look better this year than last where they nearly didn't make the top 4, but spent a absolute boat load of cash so surely that's to be expected?
It's not because he took City for money. He needs to have the best players in order to do anything.
He is better then Klopp and on the same level with Mourinho. Guardiola is totally overrated. He was lucky to have Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Puyol in a squad. He has never won the CL after he retired from Barselona so he was the most succesful of his career exactly there. Though he has always built strong attacking teams. He must win the PL and the CL to prove he is a great manager who can win tropheys not only with players like Messi. Worshiping City's manager? Ridiculous. Respect him? Why not? But nothing else.
Yeah, that was a weird season. After knocking United out, they had Lyon, Deportivo and then Monaco. Looks more like a UEFA Cup run, really.
You're over-dramatizing a bit. If the ball or the pitch are shit, you're entitled to complain about it. Not a big deal. I'll still mock him for it for about 5 minutes, just because he's the City manager, and then forget about it because I don't actually care. It's the same with most people.
It's going to become trendy to blame the ball now, what have you done Guardiola!
When my workmates told me Guardiola had blamed the ball for City not scoring I thought they were having a laugh. So what happened in the penalty shoot out then? The ball suddenly became good for City? 
He's proved me wrong on my criticism of his style but, as a character, he's a bit odd.

I think the ball more stopped Wolfes. If not for it they might have won it.
If Mourinho would have said that, everyone would be raving how clever he is, for deflecting from a bad performance.
No, everyone would be abusing him for spouting bs.
Didn't realise the League Cup matchball was a Mitre Delta, nor did I realise they still made Mitre Delta. They were the best ball you could buy back in the early 90s. You were the cock of the school if you had one.
I was considered the cock of the school even though I had no balls.
Bloody hell Mitre Delta, they were the dream ball to get from the Argos catalog as a kid! How dare Pep blame the ball, 'tis spherical perfection I tells thee.
Yeah,he looks good.
I always thought Hart was decent enough but obviously not.
Absolute horseshit.
A good workman never blames his tools.
awwww, the glorious 90s
But I remember lots complaining ball used in world cup 2002. as being to light since it was i think first intro to eather addidas or Nike balls.
Mitre balls are horrible. Like kicking a bag of cement.
