I dont stick up for gabby , i find him pretty useless leading the line , it is not about money, they are humans and there are two teams involved in a game , their goalie is allowed to make saves . Blaming makeshift strikers is not fair imo , people just wait to jump on razBut when people have slagged Jesus of you have moaned about that .

Ah. The solution to the unnecessary criticism of one player is to criticise another. How constructive.And taking all of the blame , he is not a striker for one , gabby doesnt get half the grief he does
Blaming makeshift strikers is not fair imo , people just wait to jump on raz
Just like you with Jesus. Do you not see the hypocrisy here?

Gabby is brazils number nine, so i keep getting told , he is never in a goal scoring position , if the chances fall to a winger and not him then why blame the winger if he missesAh. The solution to the unnecessary criticism of one player is to criticise another. How constructive.

Your first point is bollocks , it was an example of the stupiness of blaming raz for everything

It's not necessarily his finishing he is getting grief for, but his lack of touch, ball control and decision making. Nothing to do whether he is a striker or not. Also, Jesus cops for loads of stick too.I dont stick up for gabby , i find him pretty useless leading the line , it is not about money, they are humans and there are two teams involved in a game , their goalie is allowed to make saves .

Raz is having a bad patch , reading the forum it is all his fault when it isntIt's not necessarily his finishing he is getting grief for, but his lack of touch, ball control and decision making. Nothing to do whether he is a striker or not. Also, Jesus cops for loads of stick too.
Kaz is the biggest Jesus critic on the forum and the most blind to the fact he's constantly criticised in equal measure.It's not necessarily his finishing he is getting grief for, but his lack of touch, ball control and decision making.

It is his job to score that is why , same people who it killed raz scoring 30 last season are now back, it feels personalKaz is the biggest Jesus critic on the forum and the most blind to the fact he's constantly criticised in equal measure.

Just be nice to go out there, score a couple without conceding and win comfortably.

I don't appreciate them doing it to Sterling because it feels like every time he has a less than perfect performance or run of games they're all there to pile on him. They ignore ALL the good.
And that's exactly the same with you and certain others with Jesus.

Gabby is proven not to be the answer when sergio is out , take the number nine off him and make him an attacking mid or wingerI don't appreciate them doing it to Sterling because it feels like every time he has a less than perfect performance or run of games they're all there to pile on him.

The comments from Pep are spot on.
Mentally we are not good enough.
Clear chance creation needs to improve.
The desire to win is absent.
These points are concerning but that is the current state of play.

The players are a failure. We have created the most chances and conceded the fewest.
Coach is doing his job but the players are not.

Completely agree.The players are a failure. We have created the most chances and conceded the fewest.
Coach is doing his job but the players are not.
Most clubs would have sacked the manager and stuck a plaster over the problem.
The players are not more important than the boss or the club and I am glad this is the case.
He will probably do 4231, but I'd like to see him develop our "weapons" in goal scoring/creating and think toward the future with our 433:
----------------------Bernardo/Sterling----------------------
Ferran--------Foden------------KdB-------------Mahrez
------------------------Gundogan
Ake----------Laporte------------Stones/Dias-----Walker/Cancelo
1) If Aguero is still not fit, then rest Jesus, and give Bernardo a chance as a false 9, he needs more game time. He hasn't impressed much lately, but I think theoretically, a false 9 role is something he can develop greatly into.
Bernardo, Foden, KdB, Gundogan would be a strong midfield to not lose the ball and to create.
Bernardo as a very deep false 9 (basically not even a striker at all) could allow Ferran and Mahrez in more goal scoring opportunities as well. Jesus does this too very often.
2) Ferran-Foden is a weapon to develop, and they perfectly complement each other like KdB-Mahrez do as well. Opposite foots, can swap positions comfortably, and dynamic, Pep needs to unleash it.
I know Pep doesn't like Foden playing with KdB in the midfield, because they are too similar, but this is Foden's future position, not winger, let him learn it and he still offers alot centrally.
If I was to play Sterling, I'd play him Striker and have him just run behind a defense using his speed, Foden and KdB would send him through balls centrally.
3) Gundogan over Rodri right now because he is too good to drop, and plays the 6 role better than him imo right now. Atleast against the low block I'd prefer Gundogan, maybe against faster counter attacking teams, Rodri would be better.
4) Inverted fullbacks as usual to support the DM. I really like Ake here, and I think he can develop into a very good defensive LB, wherein he can atleast get gametime so he doesn't look rusty when he has to play LCB.
Laporte should get a game here because it feels like he's been dropped for like 6 games recently, but Pep will probably go Stones/Dias.
