Pep blamed the poo poo Mitre ball for City's inability to score.

I don't think he's wrong.

Mitre makes a poo poo ball compared to the Nike or Adidas offerings.

He said it was too light, which is a weird thing for them to get wrong.

It probably performed like the Teamgeist from WC2006 which was a beach ball that cost $150. If you hit it square it would knuckle and/or balloon all over the place.

Yeah, practice playing on soggy pitches and in flip flops, too.

No excuse for a bad ball at the professional level.

Not when the vast majority of matches are played on functionally identical artificial surfaces with undersoil heating, space-age drainage, and are watered just the right amount right up to kick off.

Everton are wastemen and should probably be level.

Edit: I am amending this to say that Everton should be level and leading at this point. Big Willy is having a hell of a game.

City are playing the kids and more kids are on the bench, that said, there's a mix of more experienced players so it should be interesting.
