Pep will be livid with this.

Should be livid with his own game management..... or lack of

 

[I'm Blue]

He was alright till he saw the ball going out

 

[LongsightM13]

Walker actually looks slow and old. If he isn’t injured, how can his body fail him almost overnight? You’d think it would be more gradual.

Noticed some Bournemouth jobber outpacing him last week as well. Worrying

 

[yeseye]

Fuck off Hinchcliffe you ****!

 

[jollylescott]

We can’t play inverted fullbacks in games like this

 

[come-on-barney]

Stop f**** around with the tactics

 

[stan bowles]

Walker needs to stop thinking he's Philip Lahm in possession.

 

[vicblueman]

Can we have co commentator who can be impartial & not rub us up the wrong way, Hinchcliffe your a sh1t stirring disgrace !

 

[Keeper!]

Walker is playing the way he’s been asked to. Suicide tactics.

where has his pace gone?

scary how slow he looks today

 

[Cricket Blue]

Fuck off HINCHCLIFFE

 

[MCFC1993]

Switched off after going 1-0 up, still goals in this for us though. Haaland is in every time the ball goes forward.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Normally our defence are protected by our overwhelming possession . Today they are exposed as very ordinary.

 

[Blu1]

We look lazy, disorganised. Zero plan & we are being bullied all over the pitch

 

[big gaz]

FFS 100 pages prior to halftime ;-)

 

[bitterblue78]

Go in behind at half time ant thats it.

 

[moomba]

Hinchcliffe stfu.

 

[Ducado]

Time for a Pep rocket at halftime

 

[sh249]

Walker is playing the way he’s been asked to. Suicide tactics.

Positionally, maybe. But he sure as shit hasn’t been instructed to fuck up every touch of the ball.

 

[Josh_D]

we have to speed up the ball to Haaland, he makes so many good runs

Just been watching him. So many times he could be played in but then the lads cut back. Believe in Haaland’s pace ffs. Dortmund aren’t great but they did that in bucket loads. The pass to Haaland or potential pass also causes them to move to mark him thus making space for other runners

 

[geek24601]

I think we need to sign another full-back…

Or 2
