Yeah its concern. To play with no pace basically means you have to be absolutely flawless on the ball but thats impossible. Funnily enough, we started building technical, fast paced squad but now have moved to slow technical players. its weird.What is worrying is how we seem to put no importance on pace when we recruit. It is essential in the modern game, particularly in the premier league. Rumours are peps after another slow player to replace sane with.
He should refund the away fans or explain why they should turn up if he's not arsed.Embarrassing today. He doesn't get the derby and its clear to see.
But take today and last week,Foden gets a start in Cup Final,ok to be fair he's played in all the rounds (like Bravo),he has a great game and us fans see once again what he can do,so he chucks him in a derby,but can't give him 20 or 30 mins when we are 3-0 up like against a Watford or a Brighton ? I don't get it
Keeping everyone happy could be done in other instances,but no he tries to be too smart with experimenting new formations all the time,not only is he confusing the opposition manager,the tv pundits and ourselves,but it's probably even confusing himself,it's fucking daft at times
I disagree. We can't play our best XI every 3-4 days. Foden was MotM against Villa and deserved to start given Kevin wasn't available. It's important that the whole squad is happy and also that most players are in good form as injuries happen all the time and the players who are waiting for their chance should be ready. Pep can't know in advance Eddie is going to have an absolute stinker. That was a shockingly bad performance from him.

So what part do you disagree with ? I used one example and what I've said is fact.
If I had mentioned him playing Cancealo =Zinchenko-Otamendi again then you could disagree all you like,but what I've said about Foden is correct.
Dave is our captain and that's his last season here. That's the reason we haven't seen more often Foden.
This keeping the squad happy is bollocks
Oh right I see,well let me let you into another secret here,Dave's legs are going quicker than you think
We aren’t a charity ffs. The only people that should be kept happy are the fans. I couldn’t give a shit if Joao Cancelo and Zinchenko are not happy to play often, they should perform better when they get a chance if that’s the case.
This keeping the squad happy is bollocks, this was a derby against a team that has already had two lots of bragging rights this season. If you want your piss poor excuse of keeping players happy then play them against Arsenal and Burnley at home, not United away.
You don’t get it, Pep doesn’t get it which is no surprise considering you are in the same circle.
We’re a charity though, his legs have gone but he’s been brilliant for 9 years so let’s just give him a testimonial season instead of a game.

Of course, it isn't. A squad wins multiple trophies, not a team of 11 or 13 or 15 players.
Like Liverpool’s “squad”? Lallana, Milner, Origi and Lovren were the key were they?
Sadly, Dave isn't the player he was. I also wanted to see more of Foden this season. Both Dave and Sergio are legends and Pep treats them as legends. Maybe neither will start against Madrid though.
