Strange times

Lol at people having a go at Gvardiol. One of our 3 best players this half, with Jack and Rodri. Walker is inivisible yet again today. It's like playing with 10 men. Who was he marking for their goal? Seemed to me Dias was marking both Luton players.

Gvardiol had to stop the cross, it’s the first job of the full back & he’s stood 2m away from him.

I'd false 9 it to change things up. Jules needs a rest big time.

Also people saying Kovacic has been shit have 0 football knowledge. The Rodri- Kova set uo from today has worked really well to break the lines. Our problem is Grealish taking 10 touches to do something, and Alvarez first touch has been poor.

The tactical set up and the manegement of the game have been superb. The fibal decisions (low level from some players) is the problem.

You have no idea what your talking about..

I think you’re 100% -wrong.

 

[Silva&Silva]

I often wonder at times like this how many forums have a bluemoon in meltdown thread:-)

We can turn this around chaps

Sure, but will we?

 

[cookster]

Tottenham equaliser, don't stop the cross, header, goal.
Luton carbon copy.

 

[zandvoort blue]

And we all laughed at the Rags yesterday. We`d better get our finger out pronto or there`ll only be 1 headline on Monday.

 

[argyle]

Jesus Christ.

Its true. At the moment Grealish does very little. Takes 3 touches when he should just shoot.

 

[Norbert D]

You could see after about half an hour all belief had gone. That goal was inevitable.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Jaded after winning the treble - no desire or fight left it seems.

There could be a hell of a lot of truth in that

 

[madloaf]

Apparently it's 2016/17. Great, I feel 7 years younger.

 

[kanovic]

I don’t even think you can blame the players at this point.

Pep and the board have gone for players who offer control above all else. Players who are good from box-to-box with little end product.

They’re an asset when you’ve got KDB creating chance after chance and Haaland bagging goal after goal.

Take them out of the side though and you’re left with a team who are all fart and no shit. Slow, sideways, ponderous and backwards with zero threat.

That the most ridiculous comment iv read here in a while.. 100% this falls on the players.. how many chances do we get in a game?? Is that pep’s and the boards fault they we miss sitters?? Give me a break. The players don’t seem interested most of the time.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Some of yhe best football we've played all season, just very little intent on scoring, so many shooting opportunities where we completely ignore the chance to shoot, can't fucking score if we don't shoot.

Grealish has been completely counter-productive to this game, every other player is moving the ball quickly 1-2 touch and we look like maybe breaking through then it comes to grealish who does the opposite and allows them back into shape and the entire build up is instantly dead.

Get Bobb on for grealish at halftime and I think we still win this.

You're talking bollocks. Grealish has created two of our openings by 'holding on to the ball' and then slipping a pass through.

 

[bitterblue78]

Pep should maybe argue with his buddy and get him to replace quality players like Gundo and Mahrez with people up to the job and not Chelsea rejects and an average Wolves player. Pathetic team this now .

Exactly. Win the treble then have a west ham type transfer window

 

[MadchesterCity]

You have no idea what your talking about..

Oh go on then, what don’t you agree with?

 

[Gazza]

I don't think we're playing too badly - just the finishing touch is missing.
The officials haven't helped as they've failed to play the advantage on several occasions and even penalised a correct throw (unless his feet were on the pitch).

 

[kashmir]

Don’t panic we have had more passes by a long way again…… unfortunately passes doesn’t win games goals do
Would like to see a few more shots when near the goal instead of endless passing

 

[Tb1981]

Pep can moan all he wants
He needs to tell the players to start fucking having some balls
Walker, grealish, Alvarez, kovacic offering fuck all
Only foden rodri gvardiol and Bernardo doing anything

 

[Goldust]

Ok why are we using our fullbacks as our attacking threat when both are not attacking full backs, i don’t get it. Jack Grealish needs to get a rocket up his back side you’re playing Luton pal, have a go. Phil lucks the only threat.
