00:09Good evening everyone, hope you're well. We'll take a show of hands for questions please
00:13and we'll set them by towards the end for 10.30pm on Sunday evening.
00:19You must be thrilled with having to play Newcastle five times this season and beating them four times.
00:25Yeah, and the first one we could not win for the quality of Newcastle and for other reasons that is
00:31better than remember.
00:33And today was on the pitch as well, so except the first 15-20 minutes has always happened.
00:40We talk about that, the first 15-20 minutes in Newcastle, we could not control.
00:44And after when we dropped in one or two in Savinho especially, we started to make the one-against-one
00:48of our line,
00:48and we're married in Krabel. It's the best game we have played against Newcastle here in our period together in
00:53ten years.
00:54And FA Cup, a difficult one, so really, really pleased how we behaved, how we played defensively, offensively,
01:02in the concentration and top. So eight times in a row in quarterfinals, FA Cup, that means how good this
01:09organisation is.
01:10You must be aware of your brilliant record in the FA Cup, I think that's 19 wins out of 21
01:16games,
01:17and those two defeats have come in the finals.
01:19Yeah, I will remember the finals as well, how it happened in the finals as well.
01:24Sometimes it's difficult when competing in the finals where you cannot control many things.
01:29And I say now that is a long time ago. After the final, I congratulate United in Crystal Palace.
01:34But many things, but you are right. So, it's many, many years we are there, and that is so good.
01:41So, really, really pleased because the game against Nottingham was disappointing,
01:45but the team is alive and really, really pleased for the game, and we'll be in the draw on Monday.
01:53Pep Omar Mahmoush has scored seven goals in five games against Newcastle.
01:58That's half of his goal for Manchester City. What is it about you?
02:00He's right, he's right, he's right. I don't remember the stats, but I had the feeling that he scored a
02:05lot of times against them
02:07as a top striker and finishing, and especially his second goal, our third, is his biggest quality.
02:15He had a little bit of time, had to improve a little bit in the smaller spaces and a little
02:20bit of first control,
02:21but, yeah, he made a fantastic game. He deserved it. I'm so happy and thrilled for him.
02:27You made 10 changes for the Leverkusen game before Christmas. You said that you felt that you might have got
02:31that wrong that night.
02:32Obviously, you made 10 tonight and it's paid off. Did you think it was a risk, or were you not
02:36worried about that at all?
02:38Yeah, the risk if you didn't win. I know what happened happened, the same the Leverkusen even happened.
02:43But when you play, from my experience, and we have quite a lot when we play in all competitions,
02:50and you have three, four days, three days, four days, and you have the squad, the joy of players that
02:54I have,
02:55so we have to do it. The risk we lose, we lose. Go home, Newcastle next round, we can't do
03:01it,
03:01but everybody has to play because the fatigue last game, and after we go to Madrid,
03:06and after we go to West Ham, and everybody has to be involved, and hopefully we can continue to behave
03:13in that way.
03:15What does it do when you've been able to pick players who haven't played as much,
03:19and have come here and played so well and won? What does that do for the spirit of the entire
03:23team?
03:24It's one of the best feelings, you know, because you always have the, really, all the managers,
03:29I think they had that feeling when, look at the performance from Nathan, you know, how reliable he is.
03:36I would talk all of them, all of them. There is not one single one that today didn't behave in
03:40his best.
03:42And sometimes you don't allow them to play much minutes, no? And always you have that feeling.
03:49And that's why it's nice to be in the competition, because they can be involved,
03:52Tijani could have scored three goals, and the chances that we have.
03:56I think all the regret I have today that happened a little bit that season.
04:00So we missed too many clear, easy, easy chances. That is the only thing we have to really, really improve,
04:06because it's one against one against the keeper side of the box. We have to try to finish better.
04:14Hi Pep, he seemed really annoyed during the second half. How can you talk about it?
04:17Listen, when Jeremy Doku dribbled Trippier and go along to the box and he's been pulled from behind,
04:25I'm not asking a yellow card, but please, it's fault. Or maybe except in this country, it's fault.
04:31And I will defend my team. And I'll tell you something, we have all the records in this country.
04:37All of them. Despite everything, we have all the records.
04:41And we have the record, the manager, more yellow cards.
04:44So always I wanted the record and now I have it.
04:47Two games banned now, because it's the second incident, and now we go on holidays the next two days.
04:55Well, certainly Mogola have to tend to be up to Sunday evening.
04:57Oh my God. Oh my God. There are things that are still after ten years I cannot understand.
05:04Review, review the action. Review the action. Of course I'm going to defend Doku and all my teams.
05:10They continue to do it. They can.
