Pep Guardiola: โThe day he came back, he was a little bit down. We tried, everyone here, to take care of each other. When someone has problems, you have to be close to them. Yesterday was much better. His mood was better, and the best way sometimes to forget is do your job.โ

Pep Guardiola: โThe first-half, I donโt remember in nine years [a team] that played in the way Brentford played in the first 20 or 30 minutes [today], and I give credit to them... Itโs an extraordinary team. We suffered from it since they were promoted into the Premier League.โ

Pep Guardiola: โItโs so productive for us to win these type of games, in that way. The players, sometimes it can be a warning to them, โOh be carefulโ, now they felt it. They FELT it. From the first minute until the end, even the staff said, โOh my god how we suffered todayโ.โ

Pep Guardiola on Brentford: "I have a huge list to tell you...
"They are good in high-pressing. They are good in long-balls, second-balls. They defend deep so compact, allowing them to go outside and have spaces inside. The transitions with [Yoane] Wissa and [Bryan] Mbeumo - they are really, really good.
"This season even, when they make high-pressing, last season it was long balls to [Ivan] Toney, this season no. This season they play short passes, they break, they move inside, outside, and after theyโre so quick.
"Set-pieces? Every corner is a headache. Every throw-in? In the final third itโs a headache. Every free-kick? Every department and all the things they do, they have a manager behind, itโs a manager.
"Sometimes you see a team and sometimes itโs whatever happens. What they do is always sense. Thomas [Frank] is one of the best!โ

Pep Guardiola on Thomas Frank: โItโs a question of time [before he joins a big European club], he will get it. They will get a good manager, and that is going to happen. Iโm good in a few things, but reading when a manager is good, I know which one is good.โ

Edersonโs assist for Man Cityโs second goal against Brentford was the fourth goal that he has assisted in his Premier League career, with only Paul Robinson providing more among goalkeepers in the competitionโs history (five). ๐

Teams in the Premier League believe a points deduction - even one that relegated them to the Championship - would not be suitable if Man City are found guilty of most or all of the 115 charges facing them.
One alternative proposed by a senior figure in the game would be for points deductions to be applied across multiple seasons to severely impact Man Cityโs ability to challenge for honors.

Pep Guardiola on Phil Foden: โCome on... Iโm delighted that heโs back! I need him, we need him desperately. This player is so important for us.
He feels good, not too many training sessions. Step by step... Itโs important he started to train, and three, four, five sessions. The game [vs. Brentford] was tight and in situations difficult. I decided for other options.โ
