Our style of play is so stagnant at the minute and I don’t know why Pep doesn’t change some things. When he first arrived he realised it wasn’t working and set out to change some things and he did well but since then its same old same old and we’re too predictable
The FOCs in CBL3 would have folded their tartan throws, thrown their Bovril down their necks and thrown a few right hooks, I'm sure!Would've been some proper old fashioned blue on blue action in the stands today.
Did yer see the women's game beforehand? I should have known that it was a precursor for the 4pm ko. We have a style of football in the club, kids included, that fits the above exactlyThis is why I’m so angry because people are blaming the loss on not having a right sided centreback or players being injured but it’s the same shit thats been happening for the past year. The passing is slow and directionless and we do fuck all with it. So we’re left with 70%+ possession but whenever we lose it if’s almost guaranteed to be a goal
I just don’t understand how Pep cannot see something is up, well I’m sure he can but why isn’t he doing anything about it. It isn’t like we have some really good and expensive players...Did yer see the women's game beforehand? I should have known that it was a precursor for the 4pm ko.

I often strolled up to the Etihad pre-Mancini and uttered a short silent prayer - "Please God, keep it to five!"Honestly was dreaming last night about the game and in my dream we were beaten 7-2, Woke up and was thinking thank fuck it was just the 5!
Spanked by Leicester fucking City, And a pissy wet Monday morning going to work...Life is good folks!
Have a good day blues!
Football evolves quickly, the better sides who have good counter attacking players are becoming more resistant to Peps football. The method of strangling a team to death through possession is becoming less effective in its consistency.
Until Pep devises a new strategy against the better teams at home where we concede the ball to lure them out we are going to see the same
type of defeats over and over this season.

If there’s a defence, as a fan I’m not up for it, it’s not even close to the football game we all know, empty stadiums, Covid 19 sweeping the nation again. Players testing positive, pep losing his mum, injuries ripping us apart, playing Garcia who has no interest in us, no pre season, the ridiculous internationals we’ve just had.
nothing is right for us at the moment and I personally knew yesterday was a tough game at the wrong stage.
it’ll improve for sure, Laporte, Dias, Ake, will sort out the back, Sergio and Jesus will sort out the front, but frankly there’s a massive negative around football and some might say, there’s more to worry about.
Can someone please explain to me, why the game changed as it did after around 30 minutes. Up until then we were fully dominant and in control, had a one goal lead. Leicester were defending with the entire team deep in their own half, Vardy was positioned like pretty much as a midfielder, and they looked like they were out classed... but then it changed.
Was it Brenda who made some tactical changes, which,if so?
And had Pep no counter change to make?
Was it our squad who got tired after only half an hour?
It amazes me how a game can change so drastically. Sure, it's a huge part of what makes it such a great sport to watch, but this is a bit too much. With their first goal we looked defeated, almost like we gave up.
Not pretty to watch.
9 points behind Everton most likely going into the Leeds game gives you some perspective on where we are at.
He was badly at fault for three of the Spurs goals over two legs in the champions keague. too. Iffy against the rags. That's just off the top of my head.
Cheers.
So did Brenda made the tactical decision to sit back during the start of the game, only to slowly love the team up the pitch and exploit our weak(er) players?
I'm asking cause I'm really interested and curious about how we somehow sometimes manage to switch from formidable to lost in just a few minutes. I don't really see such collapses from other top teams.
