Give over matey, Chelsea we are not

Overstocking a squad does not work and who in the right mind comes to sit on the bench if they are world-class

(shambolic recruitment strategy) your words, are you blind? Pep won more league titles than anybody else put together, Jose me 3 titles The rest 0 RESPECT

The stated aim by Khaldoon was to have two top quality players in each position. That worked great when we applied it and isn’t working now we let it slide.

The massive reaction is not because of the players it’s because of the shambolic recruitment strategy which we failed to show in the summer when even last season you could see players such as Rodri where fucked and running on fumes but all we where bothered about was net spending and looking good in the sales department I mean you don’t have to be ITK to know we’ve. Fucked up big style and now our aging squad has no cover .

The job is always easier when sat on your arse just watching .

But you already know that.

There were possibly good reasons for the summer recruitment was as it was, without it being clear to keyboard coaches/managers.

But of course you are entitled to your opinion :)

Have you ever got anything positive to contribute ?

Every bloody post is negative, Neil Young will be turning in his grave thanks to your miserable and negative attitude.

You can criticise, you of all people should know that as it’s all you do.
You can try and do it without your heads falling off though and proclaiming the end of days.

We’ve got nearly a full starting 11 out fucking injured.

Excuse after bloody excuse ffs :)

Some egg in a different thread wanted Pep to explain himself after losing at Spurs in midweek.

It's embarrassing how short people's memories are on here.

We're all pissed off after a defeat but some 'fans' go too far.

i thought you meant noel gallagher at first.

And yes, I agree, too many feel entitled after a few years of success. We don't want to end up like the red cartel or the likes of Chelsea fans

 

[goalmole]

We immediately played better when Gundogan went off, who could possibly have anticipated that?

Or look at it another way, we immediately played better when Doku came on.
I think the injury crisis is really beginning to bite.
We'll see a huge difference when the injured players start to come back.

It might sound like that but do you honestly think that was the team that would have been put out if all our players were fully fit and available?

Sorry mate, there’s nothing shambolic about any aspect of this club.
Apart from the injury situation…

 

[Kippax77]

Exactly was his fitness level ?

Perhaps Pep knew more about that than your face value assessment - just think aloud.

It's called an opinion.
Is OK to have one on this site or do I have to run it by you first?

I hope something good comes from yesterday’s performance. No more trying to shoehorn players into roles they are not good enough/fit enough/old enough to have an impact.

We have a brilliant group of players who will forever have my thanks so no slagging off will happen.

I would like Pep to take the blinkers off now and forget who did what and use his tactical knowledge to get the team up and running again. Over the years he used to find a nugget amongst the rubble and he needs to do so again. So far his decision to play kova/gundo in the middle to be overrun is a glaring mistake. Bernardo out wide is also another mistake.

The build up play is his bread and butter and that is non existent, barely string 3/4 passes together in any meaningful way.

Looking at his demeanour and approach this season, if anyone needs a rocket it’s him. We are all thankful to the players for what they have achieved but we need to stop using that as an excuse when they consistently underperform. Its all become too nice and nice won’t win shit. Injuries can’t be ignored and maybe once all players return the level will suddenly return.

So he either uses it as a wake up call or he won’t. Next few games will tell us more.

I think that the spending limits play their part. We all know that we need to replace key players next year and that may take over £200 million. To do it this year would mean the wage bill would increase. We pay some players 15 million a year on their contracts so may need to wait until those contracts expire.

Didn’t post after the game yesterday but it was genuinely a horrible performance for 80 days. The decision to go into the season without signing a RB and cover for Rodri and Haaland was naive or possibly even negligent. Had no complaints about the signing or Gundogan at the time but he is about 10 games in now. Not sure the improvement is coming. The biggest disappointment yesterday though was the fact that Pep made the changes far too late. Feel really sorry for McAtee. Don’t know if he is good enough but if he isn’t getting any minutes at the moment when Gundo is playing like he is then he may as well leave. Just hope it isn’t another Cole Palmer situation.

Question for those that watched online / on TV

Setting aside we had a bad performance - and I am not seeking an excuse, but anyone have a view about Oliver's performance

From the stands he seemed to go out of his way to give us fuckall

During last week I read a load of bollocks - mainly from redscouse cunts - stating he is pro City - which from the evidence of my eyes over years is utter bullshit

Might sound like a conspiracy theory - but it seemed to me like that might have got to him and he was determined to demonstrate he is not at all pro City

The foul on Haaland was an obvious example but I felt there were plenty of others

Having an opinion that's not the same as yours doesn't make me a ****.
Now go elsewhere for some conflict because I've got much better things to do with my time on a Sunday.
Thanks

Why not do something then ?

Having an opinion is one thing, your comments are far from.constructive imo

You're welcome

 

[kaz7]

What on God's green earth does what we've done during Pep's tenure have to do with my comment? As I said, a drop-off is/was inevitable. No one stays on top forever. Not even Pep.

Straight on here after the game to slag pep again , you stand out a mile

Averaging one post a month. Hmm.

There you have a wum on a plate ..

Wow - I would suggest that we all try and avoid going fully down the path towards entitlement and morph into the rags and redscouse that we have hated for so long
