Yeah decent but clearly doesn't want to be here, thing is pep seems to have a semi on for the uncommitted likes of him and Garcia so what do I knowdecent player but he’s too inconsisten,hopefully PSG come sniffing in jan or the summer wouldn’t be a miss if he went for me ..
I mean they had Messi...so different rules for them in a waybarca did for 15 years

Still pissing me off that it was a blatant handball, all this last season it would have been is bullshit, handball is handball

This draw (feels like a loss) goes completely on the team selection.
1. Torres had to start. Sterling and Mahrez were playing continuously and 1 of them (Mahrez) had to be dropped.
2. Gundogan - Rodri again? Even after seeing it doesn't work?
3. Why is Eric Garcia starting? It makes our Leroy Sane stance look very very hypocritical.
I understand there is a tight fixture congestion, players feeling worn out and no fans making it even worse but this was a good opportunity to try our academy. Why was Delap playing for the U-23s when he could've started for us? Why are Palmer, Braaf, Nmecha, Doyle never given their opportunity in the PL?
Complaints:
1. Obsession of possession but just sideways passing
2. Trying to play as slow a side as possible
3. Playing worn out players without rotating the side causing more injuries
4. Not giving enough chances to our youth and academy: We may have a Sancho 2.0 in the academy and it may go unnoticed.
5. Poor recruitement : Rodri, Gundogan, Mahrez, Mendy, Zinchenko
> We needed a LB this summer. I can understand not going for a striker, we may be holding out for someone better next season.
6. Injury FC
Positives:
1. Foden looked good. Brought on pace, creativity and a winning aggressive mindset.
2. Quotes about Mahrez saying he wants to leave.
3. It's a long season, we may turn it around BUT questions need to be asked at the right time and the time is NOW.

I actually don’t want pep to go. If he signs like a new 3 year contract it means he is committed to try and improve the team which is good. But on the other hand we cannot act like there is not a problem, performance has been inconsistent for the past 12 months and it doesn’t look like it is changing. Obviously we have to question pep on how he intends to change the inconsistent performances.Every top team has a year or two when things dip - to think we could just continue at the same level indefinitely is crazy. These are the times when we need to get behind the team. Criticising performances is one thing, but calling for the head of the coach - a coach that every top club in Europe would try and sign up in a heartbeat, makes no sense.

Can we? Based on what exactly? The amount of points dropped this season or our 1 loss every 4 games average over the last 18 monthsWe’re 2 points off 3rd place despite all the injuries & lack of preparation. Home advantage has gone for all teams without fans. We can easily make up the difference
happy to be told why this is ridiculous but why can't we keep the defence solid. keep them back. and trust our mid and attack to score goals. they will sit back and we can use them to try to score. when they counter we have a safety net.
i get that pep uses the def to create chances and break down a 10 man def but whenever they get a chance they counter us and we're fucked.
so to risk not drawing we end up losing or ....drawing.
im confident we could score without using our def as attack. but we'd at least not be so vulnerable.

Wtf
Seriously Mahrez fuck off.
So now we have both Mahrez and Garcia playing who would rather be elsewhere. Does not send out a great message.
