[lancs blue]

Pep tries this plan too often - go at them for the first 15 mins and hope we score and then slow it down and try to walk it in. Waste of fucking time if we don't score early on.

Mendy is beyond shit, gives the ball away too often and gets caught out of position. Ederson should be saving that goal too.

Grealish did well, about the only bright spot. I guess Kane's fee will be closer to £200m now.

Kane wouldn't have made a difference imo.

Defensive midfield and Left Back continue to be weak spots that the club turns a blind eye to for some reason.

We have been after a LB for a while but we can't shift Mendy.

We have some tough away games coming up : Leicester Chelsea and Dippers. Unless we sort the shit out soon, we will be left too behind and it won't be enough like last season the come back.

Today's match was not something we haven't seen. Script has been same for so many matches since 2019-20 season. Slow laboured performance get hit on counter and then chase the game like idiots and end up nowhere.

 

[give it to gordon]

Clearly not match fit.

Spurs cup final, that comes with being champions !

Deli lucky didnt make contact on Jesus with that two footed lunged at the end.

Mendy ? What can you say thought the left side of our defence looked dodge all day.

No panic yet lol

 

[kanovic]

we have developed into a walking football team .

way too slow and predictable .

what is the point playing two wingers on the same side if you have nobody in the middle

I said it before we used to have aguero , dzeko, balotelli and tevez.

now we have a couple of wingers who can play up front.

Mendy useless and sterling invisible

finally, nevermind Kane buy fucking SON!!! (As well)

All those players minus aguero were played with a different manager. Regardless what people say with the systems etc pep keeps winning trophies for us so it is what it is. Plus it’s only 1game

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Dreadful. Good start but as usual, scuffed at our chances and then fell out of the match.
Mendy and Cancelo are two appalling defenders, the former must be finished at this club and the latter is a show pony who has no heart or fight for the battle.
I still don't get all the love and stuff for Ederson, he's an average goalkeeper who never wins us any points. I'd give Steffan a run in the team, the lad makes saves at least unlike the lamp post that is Ederson
Ferny was meh...Raz was meh...got bullied by their RB all match
5 defeats in our last 7 competive matches.
Looks like Spurs have won the league today jusding by their lap of honour

How much is Levy putting up Kane’s price?…

Lack of creativity was concerning as was the predictability in the way they would score (and who).

No penetration from any of our forwards and midfielders at all...Sterling, Mahrez, Grealish, Torres all inaffective. Gundo no creative passing at all.

Mendy -how are we still relying on him after 4 years of absolute dogshit performances.....there is no defending this guy any more

Mahrez - as per always disappears when the going gets tough (at least Sterling as bad as he was keeps going)

Torres is NOT a centre forward despite Peps protestations that he is the best finisher (he may well be but he does not move like a centre forward)

Dias solid as always, Ferna good in the first half (but he is going to struggle as the season goes on as his fitness cannot carry him through the games)

Cancello - played well at times last season but he is not a team player.

Our style of play seems to have changed...we are crossing from infront of the back 4 instead of getting in behind as we use to with little passes....

 

[Semper aggressus]

Torres offers nothing at all. We needed to sign a pacy winger that can beat a man and cross accurately. Someone with a bit of confidence who causes teams trouble.

Mendy is finished, injuries have fucked him up, poor fella.

We absolutely must sign a goal scorer.

 

[city warrior]

This is a circus every time we lose... Sure, Pep doesn't know that Ake and Mendy are not made for top opposition. Sure, he doesn't know Sterling is not good in this system. Sure, he doesn't know Cancelo is not enoguh against top 6, or that KDB and Zinchenko need to be starting. Obviously he knows, it just happens that our players are not ready to play.

To be honest, I am not worried at all. We didn't play Zinchenko, Walker, Stones, KDB\, Foden and maybe even Rodri who all would be in our best 11. People who worry and think Pep doesn't know either have no logic, or overreact.
