maybe he did, maybe he didnt know how much our team would collapse, I dont know.... I know one thing, we are better than Leicester, we need the belief we can beat them. I expect Pep to sort thatAre you suggesting he didn't fully understand how Leicester play going into the first match?

I'd barely even have one player from their team now Kante has left them so I know we should beat them 9 times out of 10. Reality is though that if Pep doesn't at least compromise by dropping the defence a bit deeper then Leicester will have every chance of getting a result. I don't want to watch Kolarov, Otamendi or Stones chasing Vardy from the half way line and another match where we have 80% possession and manage to get hammered. This is not about belief IMO, it's about not playing in just about the only way that gives them a fair chance of victory despite the difference of quality of personnel.maybe he did, maybe he didnt know how much our team would collapse, I dont know....

Yup, same here... Pep should have learnt and should either play more cautious or some other plan.I'd barely even have one player from their team now Kante has left them so I know we should beat them 9 times out of 10.

Imo this team is lacking belief, confidence in themselves, a winner attitude.. Whatever you want to call it.... The thing that makes them score instead of missing, or makes them not fear the opposition like the Monaco game, pep couldn't get our players to attack them more, they are scared imo
I havnt got anything evidence except what I see... And we get cold feet when the pressure is high, top six games for example

So long as Pep doesn't out-think himself.
So long as we pick up a point or 3 at Arse.
I think that we will beat the Chavs at theirs (Jesus to knock a couple in - sideshow bob to get a red card! ) -we will definitely be seeking revenge in that one.
Spuds have to get by without Kane for a while.
I see us finishing 2nd with a reduced points difference to the chavs.
Rags may finish 4th . (They're on the longest unbeaten run by any team ever don't ya know ?!)

That would probably work well, Messi doesn't track back and is rubbish in nets.
The next 5 PL games should be decisive for us, if we're still in or very close to top 4 after that we have a preferable run in - beating Arsenal would be a big step towards that.
United have the toughest run in, so will likely drop points there. Arsenal's is only slightly better than ours for remaining fixtures, hence a win against them should hopefully be enough to top them.
Chelsea of course will win, Spurs should be nailed on for a spot, Liverpool have the easiest run in but that seems to be a negative for them so it's hard to say - for me though those 3 are the ones who should make it in the easiest; with us Arsenal & United fighting for the final spot.

If there's one thing that was notable about the Liverpool home game it was the bottle shown by the players. I think you would have a point of you were talking about the Monaco away 1st half performance. I don't think that is typicalYup, same here...
