We have to move the ball quicker

 

[Haaland94]

Pusey looking very nervy. Feel bad for him.

Shouldn't be playing in a tough CL fixture. Should be getting some minutes here and there in games we have already won. I suspect we had no choice in terms of healthy/fit CBs for tonight.

 

[Kamaro011]

Rodri shaped hole in the team.

Get a decent replacement in Jan.

There is no decent replacement and getting hit on the ground immediately in middle of season.

That kind of player didn't exist in the market.

 

[chris85mcfc]

So fucking slow playing the forward passes

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Bernardo and Kova have both been very poor. We should be up. Overall played decent. JSP should have done better for the goal. Needs to settle a bit.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Akanji needs to stay on their Main man , delegating him to the Simpson-Pusay won’t end well

 

[hogismuir]

I'm loving this game - it makes the misery of this thread all the more entertaining

Agree completely. We've been enjoying such success but it's meaningless without some jeopardy and challenge. We're a top team and it's tough at the top. Even the dominant Rag teams lost games and struggled at times.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Pusey’s inexperience getting exposed here.

Needs to tighten up.

I’ll give the lad a break there.

 

[dadnlad]

Half time no need show replays because that's all they done all fist half

 

[Phoenix900000]

Unlucky lads

Played some good stuff there ngl

 

[WestGorton]

A breakaway. Not seen that before.

 

[vanchi]

Silly yellow

he stopped the counter

 

[bluemoon32]

Poor defensively & wasteful, business as usual ha

 

[madloaf]

Pusey looking very nervy. Feel bad for him.

He's been fine. The goal again is a collective fuck up.

 

[RayCTID]

Need to regroup. We aren't doing too badly despite the scoreline.

I think he's been excellent

 

[Stoned Rose]

Best we’ve played for ages but we have got to stop fucking about with the chances.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Pusey’s inexperience getting exposed here.

Needs to tighten up.

You know what you're doing with these posts. Childish but funny

 

[skillman]

Because we play slower, end up with 10 players in the last 40 yards of the pitch...and so if we give it away we are immediately turned around. It's not complicated. It is frustrating.

The worrying thing is, teams were happy enough to sit deep anyway for damage limitation but now they do it just so they can turn us around quickly. And it’s working.

Pep either figures out how to deal with that or avoid compressing the pitch so much.

Was having a decent game up until the equaliser.

Yeah, thought he was doing fine. The goal has obviously unsettled him. Needs a word at half time.
