Managerial Quotes
Luis Miguel (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
“It is impossible to know for sure, but it is difficult to shake the feeling that the nerves and apprehension that brought about Pereira’s banishment also contributed to Wolves’ second late giveaway in as many games” — TheAthletic
Analytical note: After Vitor Pereira was given a red card for technical misconduct , the assistant head coach Luis Miguel stepped in for the post-match media conference and deputized Pereira for the way he reacted after the match justifying frustration for Vitor. He further added
“I want to apologise for what happened…I didn’t see that, but they told me that he kicked the ball. He was frustrated with something that happened with our team, not with the referee, and not with the opponent’s team.”
Fabian Hürzeler (Brighton and Hove Albion)
“We conceded a goal out of nowhere, we have to defend that better.“ — York Press
Analytical note: Fabian admitted his frustration on the goal that they conceded and highlighted how the team lacked defensive strategy that needs to be addressed.

Managerial Quotes
Keith Andrews (Brentford)
“In the second half, we made a couple of little tweaks at the top end of the pitch to get us a bit more pressure on the ball, and I thought we were the better team in the second half” — Brentford FC
Analytical note: Andrews explained how minor attacking adjustments after the break helped the team to press the opponents more effectively, which shifted the momentum of the game and made them the stronger side in the second half.
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
“It has been a good month since the Manchester United game. Many things I like. I know there are things we can do better but they made a fantastic first half, one of the best in many months. The problem is in the Premier League if you don’t score a second and a third they can push more. In the second half they pushed more and they are the team that runs in behind and throw-ins and stuff so it is not easy. “We are there. Our game is better and better.” — BBC
Analytical note: Guardiola reflected positively on the team’s progress over the past month. He praised the team for their excellent first-half performance as one of their best performances in a while. However, he also acknowledged the threats of not scoring early in the game as that can give room to dominate the game later. Overall, he felt the team’s performances were steadily improving.
