What I saw today was a group of players who aren’t one bit arsed about winning another title.
The lack of work rate, desire, hunger and drive was fucking stark.
The eye of the tiger of previous seasons has turned into a glass eye.
There was only Grealish and Walker who actually put a shift in, the rest were idle bastards.
Very unpleasant watching.
Wrong.It was his loose pass to Rico Lewis that led to their goal
Spot on. I'd love to know who the 'Pep out but I'm too afraid to say it' brigade would like to see take over. Enrique, who got knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco? Pochettino who finished 3rd in a 2 horse race? Simeone and his squalid brand of football?The matchday thread and this is akin to a boxers corner throwing the fucking towel in after 10 seconds and one punch!
Get a fucking grip ffs.
No divine right to win every game or every PL. This manager and squad has broken records, left, right and centre and will do so again over the next few years as he rebuilds.
Meanwhile we are 2nd in the fucking PL and still in the FA cup and CL.
He gave the kind of effort you would expect by a player benched by his manager to make a point.The biggest worry for me was the lack of effort. Even Kevin, having been on 15 mins didn't chase back. I fear the effort levels have gone
Spot on ‘ego’, ridiculous that Laporte and Dias are not starting.This is Pep's doing.
Egotistical to just pick players who smile and are happy in training.
Is it so hard to just pick the best players and put them in their best position?
Dias and Laporte should be starting.
Rodri always needs a player alongside him as he can't play like prime Fernandinho as he's too slow.
Push KDB up further forward as Haaland is far too isolated.
Tell the players to fucking play the ball through to Haaland and not take 5 touches before playing it sidways.
Fucking melt. Being shit 25 years ago is not an excuse to ignore the problems in the squad right now.View attachment 68159
For those old enough… never forget. Some right dick heads on here. You’ve no idea what supporting a football club is meant to be about. We’re going to go through a massive change in the next 12 months. I hope you Lot have fucked off when we’re brilliant again - with Pep. Spoilt brats
Arsenal are setting a pace that would have won them a title in almost any season apart from when City and Liverpool reached late 90s/100.It's a poor league thank god. Not even arsenal who are top would have won a title in any other year.
So many on here won’t realise you’re jokingit's over for everything, lost the dressing room only means one thing, the manager leaves,
now It's up to the club to address what they want from this season, just let it just wind down and rebuild in the summer or let the manger leave with grace on his own terms and bring in somebody short term,
Pep knows, We know, Everybody else knows, time is up Pep can do no more for our club
Spot on apart from Rodri who has been our heartbeat now for a long time any today granted had a bad game. There are players in our team who constantly have bad gamesThis is Pep's doing.

what a great point and so true.more willing to take risks in our own third than our attacking third says everything.
If we lose to the Tarquins at least possibly stops scum winning premiershipIf Rodri hadn’t made that fuck up that score wouldn’t have happened. We looked miles more up for it before that. It deflated us as it would any team. It’s just football. We’re not right atm but we’re no worse off than we were 3 weeks ago and have had our hard run. We’ve got to beat arsenal and they’re on their arse too atm. It’s the rags I’m a bit worried about
Doesn't happen that way if the numbers are large. Its all gossip anyhow.Then Foden and everyone else has to go, Pep stays.
Something strange going on definitelyThe foden business is bizarre, he traveled with the squad but is still unwell ? I don’t call in work sick and sit in the car park for 8 hrs . Clearly he’s stepped out of peps line and serving his penance. Something very odd.
Odd side selection from the off . Odd tatics followed.
Strange times .Anyway as always up the blues.
All the top teams have 40/50m defenders not 15m from Dortmund, as a 4th choice he is perfect. Not the bedrock our defense is built on by an increasingly strange PepLet’s get this right Dortmund fans were glad to see the back of him. Ake has served us well but but not in the same class as Laporte or Dias.
Crikeyit's over for everything, lost the dressing room only means one thing, the manager leaves,
