[Bigga]

Get Alvarez off for Kovacic.

They got rid of Kovacic for a younger more dynamic midfield.

Why would you want to chuck him into this game when we need to take the lead??

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Need somebody else in midfield Alvarez off maybe

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Doku appearing as the Invisible Man.

No Jack, no control. Pep's been spending too much time reading shit takes on Twitter.

Alvarez has been the invisible man.

 

[abu13]

I feel like we have been our own worst enemy in that 1st half, we caused our own problems and don't look as hungry as them.

They do look dangerous on the break against us.

 

[Blue2202]

Has to be said that he has been very ineffective

Love him as a player and technically excellent, don't think hes up to playing where he is today and in a game like this though

 

[hcblue95]

Not much control but does make for a great game. Foden has been good.

 

[colorado blue]

I honestly think that is the worse we’ve played this season

Mistakes for both goals but Chelsea playing well also. Great game for neutral but we’re to open. Need to slow it down and Haaland needs to finish chances like he had.

 

[mick10]

Mental this. It’s like my school playing the school up the road. Nuts

 

[Brewster's millions]

Sounds like the right plan. Alvarez has been invisible

I know he’s been great this season, but I don’t think you can leave him on when he’s having such little impact, and especially when you have a player like Grealish on the bench.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We will be conceding at least another if we don’t shore up the midfield.

 

[stan bowles]

Need to slow this down. Crazy game when it shouldn't be.

We're being pressured and forced into mistakes and they're coming at us from all angles when we turn the ball over in our own half. Dias and Gvardiol have been particularly sloppy with their passing and control.

 

[TheBlueCat]

I’d bring on grealish for Doku

If Doku stays on we will get beat. He can’t cope with James defensively or offensively

 

[TFC]

Would like to see us flex after the break and show these how much better we are. Need to take the emotion out of this crowd and shut the cunts up

 

[pride in battle]

Don't think I've ever seen Dias give the ball away as much in one half before. Rocket from Pep at half time and we win this with ease.

Same at Arsenal...

 

[Fordyboy46]

Foden the standout player by a mile

 

[vmsuhail]

Sterling is destroying us.

He usually has a couple of months every season when he is unplayable. On very good form now.

 

[Gigant]

Lack of the players in the midle , somebody should come from the bench. Probably Grealish and Nunes like in the same time idk , Alvarez can easily be the first sub , but the second one hard to choose , Foden having good game , Doku not so bad

 

[heslops barnet]

They look more dangerous than us in front of goal….

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Percy Jackson being a **** on their 2nd goal, no need.
Hope we fuck em.

 

[maurizio]

Foden and Bernardo playing well. Pep needs to sort out defence and cover for their runs from midfield.
