If we can't sit back and hit teams on the break whilst winning 2-0 well I give up.Not easy with 10 men away at a good team, 2-0 up against the run of play and we are in a great position, but Pep taking Kev off for Gundogan was an absolute shocker, from that moment on we had no midfielder willing to join Sterling up front and it became a game of attack vs defence, we aren't a team that can sit back and soak up pressure, we have to be a threat going forward, even if its on the counter, that option was removed once KDB got the hook.
No it wasn't,he was approach in march about the belgium move and he decided after the leicester gamebang on mate and im not having it VKs retirement wasnt known within the club months before, a replacement should have been identified sourced and bought,bad management imo
Good number of rags weighing in.Some of you guys have extremely short memories and are way too nostalgic.
No, me neither [emoji13]OFFS !!!
Does anyone else think Pep is looking for an excuse to walk?
Wasn't Edersons fault that the entire team in front of him went to sleepAll these players getting slagged off when the main culprit was Ederson.
And that's exactly why they didn't win the champions league in those seasonsWouldn’t they? I have seen Barcelona consecutively throw away a 4-0 and 3-0 lead. Shit like this happens to many teams. We were unlucky to be on the end of it today.
We never seem to get them tho do we mate? the useless **** still should’ve cleared it tho!!

Hes never scored a free kick in his life and hes told 2 experienced free kick takers to fuck off.
Why?
Pep signalled for the penalty taker to be changed and he took the second again (and missed again, with a terrible penalty again).
Why?
He also let Wolves back into the game with a half assed lose touch which gave them the ball in our half.
I have been defending him for the past month because I think we should be grateful hes been playing badly but still scoring, but today...he just looked more interested in his own hat trick than us equalizing
It’s easy to overreact. We got the pen - which despite Michael Owens stupid comments was a pen. The crowd were convinced there’d been a miscarriage of justice and the rest of the game was played with Wolves in full on victim mode. Diving around like tarts with Atkinson giving every bit of contact as a foul. Generally we stood up to the pressure quite well. Two of wolves goals were quite fortunate- shots through legs - and Mendy - that’s Sunday league standard. Thought Bravo did okay when he came on. Wolves were pretty shite in open play but they love a set piece and Atkinson was a ready supply... was always gonna be tough. With time added on it was a long night with 10 men. Need to dust ourselves down. Thought the Amazon presentation was far and away the worst I’ve seen. Champion was an utter disgrace.
Ederson was at fault but we had a 2 goal lead and pissed it away. 10 good ball players vs 11 is still a pretty even contest and we should have been able to see that game out and get 3 points. Pep taking off KDB was a mistake - we lost any ability to take the pressure off. Mendy was poor tonight. Never close to stopping Traore, should have cleared the ball. Walker gives needless fouls away as does Otamendi. Sorry but that was shite tonight and Pep's post match comment was shite. I'd like to know what his plan was in dealing with Traore? Didn't look to me like he had one.Ederson at fault for getting sent off stupidcoming out like he did. After that we just panicked and couldn’t keep hold of the ball. 2 awful mistakes led to 2 of their goals sadly.
A mention to people in the match day thread telling our players and manager to fuck off is not ok in my opinion.
Always going to be a tough ask with 10 men for that long.
Ederson brainless.
Otamendi and Mendy terrible
Shocking sub of KDB. Terrible decision.
Sterling’s goals mask his all round shit play
A Straight Red for his first tackle ......This is exactly what will happen !
