It's a bloody feast I tell ya.
RDZ definitely wasn't quite feeling it as much as usual but fascinating watching him. Nice to see a big hug for Webster at the end.

I found the De Zerbi cam a little concerning. He seemed very down; certainly not his usual self.

I just wonder if a) his red nose indicates he was a little under the weather or b) the Caicedo thing had worn him out or c) he wasnt going to play up to the camera for anyone!!

Nice to see Pascal smiling at the beginning. He doesn't do smiling once game time comes

He did look less well then usual. The Caiciedo stuff can't have helped, plus we didn't play as well as usual, so he wouldn't have been that positive about the performance.
That was glorious. Did you pot the sad mascot before the game in the tunnel. As RdeZ went past, he gave him a little pat on the head. Great empathy at a time when it would have been resonable for him to be a bit distracted by the build up.

What I love about RDZ is that he hates losing, but also that he hates playing bad football. We all came away with huge smiles at the end of the cup game, he just wants more and expects it. This is what is going to elevate us to the next level, to contend for Europe or a Cup Final. Loving every minute of this.

He’s certainly a lot more animated and involved in giving out instructions on the sidelines than Potter was . Looks a harder taskmaster to me .
I particularly enjoy his little protege in the first row, around the 1:00 mark

The RdZ cam was good, but it was only 60% good
To get to nearer 100% he MUST be mic'd up too !!

The nose knows
Im not sure he looks too different to normal. It may seem worse because he didn't celebrate the goal but if you look at it when the goal goes in he does that internal 'get in' head jut that you do when your team scores but you can't go too bananas. If he's anything like me he was probably immediately waiting for VAR to ruin it.
After the game he outrightly said he didn't like the way we played. There were a lot more silly mistakes than usual and we only played our best stuff in smaller moments.
He did start two strikers up front which was a clear tactical 'thing' I wonder whether he wasn't convinced they did it effectively enough.
It reminds me how pissed off Guardiola was after they beat Spurs 4-2....a great comeback from 0-2 down, yet he was berating his players!

Yep. That was his 'release' moment. I can understand why he held back initially with VAR involved.

Right at the end in the changing room Lewis must be telling how he got the equaliser

Remember him having a spat with Frank at Brentford in his early days. "I don't like people touching my players" in the interview after the game. Can't imagine Roberto apologising to Pep for celebrating a goal that's for sure
