Today must be our worst pass completion under pep

 

[TFC]

I wonder if we just sat in silence at the half.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I don’t think it’s us playing shite, they’re pressing us at just the right times and we don’t have a clue what to do.

 

[youngbob]

This is just like that 3-2 Norwich game in 2019. Players being asked to play a system they don't understand that Pep won't change even when it's blindingly obvious it's not working.

 

[handsofstone]

Peps is 100% at fault here

Hes clearly asking walker to sit in CM and its not helping anyone, just getting on Rodri way and making Bernardo uncomfortable

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Hopefully into the transfer market to beef up this squad

 

[urban genie]

When rodders is off form our defensive set up falls to shit.

 

[brummie blue]

I think we need to sign another full-back…

or at least play the one's we've got as full backs not advanced midfielders

 

[dronefromsector7G]

They look pissed

 

[727djc]

We are being outmuscled here, they are playing with more passion. We will still find a way to win

 

[01cravend]

Ooof unlucky

 

[argyle]

Don't think I've see Rodri play this badly for a while

When he is pressed he cant play in midfield by himself.

He needs a player alongside him and not Gundogan.

 

[kanovic]

It got interesting the moment we sold Jesus, Sterling and Zinchenko.

Bruv they are gone ffs move on.

 

[PaulPowerScreamer]

Saved?

 

[abu13]

sloppy as fuck.

 

[SidJames]

Unlucky Haaland

 

[Bigga]

Have we got Bots on this thread?

I've seen 'get Rodri/ Walker/ Cancelo/ Bernardo off'.

Madness.

 

[paulchapo]

Fuck unlucky!

 

[ScottSinclair]

Fantastic from Erling

 

[I'm Blue]

So unlucky, great save
