More I think about yesterday’s game the more I realise just how shit we were, How can someone like Bernardo play like he did last season to play like he did yesterday, he wouldn’t get a game for the ladies team never mind our first 11
I hope talk of increasing his wages and contract are put on hold.
His form at present does not justify any increase in his terms.
Personally think he will be gone at the end of the season.Apart from last season we always endure a hangover from a title winning season and come no where near the season after. What’s Pep’s thinking does he stay another 3 years and build another team or is he getting off at the end of his contract? Has a feeling of the end of Pelegrini with players downing tools and not putting a shift in, if he is staying get the ones that are regressing gone.
Agreed on the 7-8 players not performing, and that's a major worry.
Why? Is it the hangover from last season's run in or they are no longer thriving off Pep?
You can add KDB to that for me, a shadow of the world class player he can be.Stones, Otamendi, Angelino & Mendy not good enough.
David Silva is coming to the end.
Bernardo not in form this season.
Laporte, Aguero & Sane injured.
Rodri needs a year to adapt.
It’s just not there this season.
Forget him, he's gone and would have already left if he had not damaged his knee.How I wish Leroy was back
More worried how he gets a shot away without a challengeNo, not a chance, totally unlighted.
Maybe should have used the word predictable rather than bizarre.How was otto sub bizarre he scored and showed more passion in 10 mins than the rest of his team did the whole game
The reasons are as numerous as the number of balls with which you can cover a football pitch and heap into a pyramid! Pick one reason and you could be way off beam. I noticed that at HT Raheem was particularly annoyed after speaking to the Alty Tit and threw his arm up in a gesture of what I gather for the rest of us would be despair or disbelief at the decision re the penalty on 45mins. We get that goal and it changes the complexion of the game - don't get it and we have a wee mountain to overcome in just 45 mins. It must affect the players week in, week out, when you see some teams getting the most obvious leg-ups when needed and others, including MCFC, being denied legitimate claims.
VAR has done us badly but not yesterday.I think Pep sees it, I think the players see it, imo the negativity surrounding the club and the above is affecting the players more than people may realise.
This is not a team who wants to win a league title, been apparent from very early on. How it's been let to get to this, bar a few injuries, is alarming. Half of that team needs a serious rocket, regardless of past achievements. It's actually unbelievable how easily we've been beat this season, in fact at times it's been pathetic.
The worst part was Angelino standing 5 yards away from Daniel James as he was so shit scared of being taken on. Pathetic.More worried how he gets a shot away without a challenge
It's interesting that he still seems to perform on the international stage, though. I wonder if it's because he knows that the PL, PiGMOL, FArce Sunday Night at the London Palladium VAR Show won't be making an appearance and he feels free to express himself as we know he can. You train all week, prepare thoroughly, field a team full of top class players and VAR pisses all over it!You can add KDB to that for me, a shadow of the world class player he can be.
Spot on mate.apart from last Wednesday and nearly every game for the past two seasons I'm struggling to think of the last really convincing performance we've seen from this side.This is not a team who wants to win a league title, been apparent from very early on. How it's been let to get to this, bar a few injuries, is alarming. Half of that team needs a serious rocket, regardless of past achievements.
