Remember when every pundit was ripping into Pep for trying to replace Hart because he cant play as a sweeper keeper. Pep must feel vindicated after last night.

I think it was more to do with not being given the chance to, Hart was pretty much chopped before Pep even set foot in the club. Looks the right call now but stil a bit unfair at the time
Class from Redmond. More players need to do this.

Of course it's the ****** S*n
Definitely classy of Redmond to clear that up - honestly watching the clip it reminded me of when Guardiola appeared to be raging at Kimmich when he was still at Bayern, that turned out to be a lesson as well, and Kimmich is doing pretty well for himself these days
Yep. I personally didn't jump to any conclusions, as I knew it would've been cleared up sooner or later, but I was 99% sure it was some weird form of encouragement by Pep.
In a way it's refreshingly cool, but I can also see another side of it, that being perhaps Pellegrino rightfully feel a little annoyed/undermined by it. At the end of the day, you're to follow your managers instructions, simple as that. I'm sure Pep wouldn't be pleased if the shoe was on the other foot, but I don't think his intent was to disrespect his opposite number. Emotions were high.

Class from both Pep and Redmond in this case.
Sorry, but this is ridiculous.... if Mourinho done what Pep did at the end of a game to one of your players... giving him passionate encouragement at the end of a game you've just lost in the last minute...... you'd be calling Mourinho class for doing it right?
It's double standards, if it was a less liked manager such as Mourinho you'd be slaughtering him. Lets admit it..... Alc.

I don't even know what's 'class' about what Pep done? Someone enlighten me.
Giving encourage to an opposition player and saying he should attack more... when you've just lost a game in the feckin last minute!
It undermines the opposition manager and honestly... why do it literally straight after the final whistle? Could of picked any other moment. In a press conference, in the tunnel or whatever.
Just unncessary for me.

lolNot at all. I don't like Pep much but you rarely see a manager praise opposition players in such a passionate way. Its almost as if Pep was disappointed that Redmond did not play better because he thinks so highly of him. Even Redmond had no qualms about it. No reason for people to start making issues out of things that aren't there.

DEFO watching MOTD for once tonight.
Probably one of the worst days in PL officiating across the board along with some absolutely cracking action.

You Philadelphia asshats need to pull your heads out and invest in this team! That NBA **** is not going to fly in the PL. Yea we got a point and are no longer at that bottom. Let's assure we stay in the PL and get a proper manager and players for the future.

Rog: I need to ask you this: did a Clattenburg refereed game have a personality, if so, what were its traits?
Clats: There's one game in particular, which was the "Battle of Stamford Bridge." It was Chelsea vs. Tottenham, if was the famous that year Leicester win the title, it was theater. I went in with a gameplan that I didn't want Tottenham Hotspur blaming Mark Clattenburg that they were gonna lose the title. It should've been 3 red cards to Tottenham; I allowed them to self-destruct so all the media, all the people in the world went, "Tottenham lost the title." If I sent 3 players off from Tottenham, what's the headlines? "Clattenburg lost Tottenham the title," and it was pure theater that Tottenham self-destructed against Chelsea and Leicester win the title.
Rog: In that game, were the Chelsea players not screaming ****** murder, they're like, "Clattenburg what are you doing we're getting massacred here!"
Clats: It was the first game where Diego Costa never got cautioned (laughs). It was so crazy when you look back at the game but, when Hazard scored to equalize to make it 2-2 I've never felt an atmosphere in a stadium before like that before, because of Chelsea had stopped one of the enemies winning the title.
Rog: In a way you scripted it.
Clats: ...I helped the game, I certainly benefited the game by my style of refereeing. Some referees would have played by the book and Tottenham would have been down to 7 or 8 players and probably lost, and Tottenham would've been looking for an excuse but I didn't give them an excuse, because me gameplan was let them lose the title.
Rog: Listening to this, I was like, "Wow, Mark Clattenburg, even crazier than Diego Costa" (Clats laughs) that is saying something, but you've said, "I want games to be a spectacle," and hearing you talk about the Battle of Stamford Bridge, is that the referee's job or is it really down to the players?
Clats: I think we're all part of theater. That's why the Premier League is the best league in the world. Its assisted by the best players, the best referees, the best coaches, and we've all got a duty to make sure the game's enhanced. The English style of refereeing is different; I had to referee differently when I went into Europe than I did in the Premier League because none of the top players in Europe would accept some of the physical contact that went on in the Premier League - but that was the theater, that's what people loved. They love a tackle, they don't want it punished.
Rog: You pride yourself on man-management, its a phrase that comes up in conversation with you over and over, talking to the players rather than cautioning them, as you've said, you occasionally famously called them "mate" on the field. How do the players react to that? Do they really want to reciprocate and get on with the referee?
Clats: Gotta know the right time, that what's experience. Some young referees will try to speak to players too much and players sometimes don't want them to speak. I remember refereeing Ashley Cole. Speaking to Ashley Cole at the wrong time when he was going through things with his head (garbled) doing some tactics. But there were good times to speak to Ashley Cole, when he was calm and he was ready to get on with. Speaking to the player at the wrong time can have a bad effect.
What a ****.

There's something seriously flawed with the EFL (Checkatrade) Trophy when Chelsea can exploit it and play a 24-year-old, £32 million Belgium. (Presumably, other PL have done similar? Just stood out seeing Batshuayi's name among the goalscorers last night at MKD.).
The knock-out cup for League One/ League Two sides, the whole idea of inviting PL U-23 teams in was to aid the development of young English talent and give them somewhat 'competitive' football.
Completely defeats the object of not only the whole lower league competition but why they invited PL U-23's in to start with. (Which is inherently wrong but that's a whole other topic.).
