Match Thread | Sporting CP vs. Man City (05/11/24)

[Bluewars II]

It’s tough… this is all txiki left us with

Very tough, some very peculiar business from him, Lavia 'out" Phillips 'in' no cover for Rodri since last season. The formation Peps playing doesn't offer much protection either.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Ffs, so many injuries and people on here acting like its the end of the world. We'll qualify. We've lost one game on the league
Chill the fuck out. The season's a marathon not a sprint.

 

[MMA]

Here’s a thought adapt the system to the players you have available, like Peps first season he doesn’t have the players available to play his system at the moment. Also more players need to add goals to their games we can’t just rely on Erling

Don't talk sense on here mate..

 

[wolviedinho]

Counter attack teams killing us.

Come on pep you need to fix the Rodri problem. So far any attempts have failed.

No one is to blame, we need to find solutions and I believe the club will but right now damage limitations.

 

[Blue Bogey]

All that decent play in the first half undone within 5 mins.

If the players can keep their heads unlike some of our fan base and get back to how we played the first half hour plus finish off the shots this time we can get back in the game. Over to the players to show us they have got the balls to get back in this.

 

[DATOIA]

No I am calm enough, but I can't see where he benefits to the club..

Defensively ? no
In midfield ? no.. just when I was posting made another stupid mistake in the centre and lost the ball..
Attacking wise ? no

Or we are having some kind of quota for dumb fucks ? if that's the case then OK.
Otherwise he won't even be playing first team for the championship teams and you all know that's true..
Not even talking about PL...

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We won’t score 7

Haaland will serve a couple of aces ;)

 

[skillman]

We’re doing something amazing here where we somehow look light in attack, light in midfield and light in defence.

 

[Gabriel]

It was interesting that they were all out sprinting before the second-half started, while we were our usual selves, ambling around, chatting, and pointing at things.

Eight minutes in and I’m still not sure we’re up to speed.

 

[wattle]

I am telling you, Rico is fucking clown..

Get rid of him ASAP..

Useless peace of shit..

Fuckin ridiculous comment

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Teams have absolutely rumbled us.

No pace in the team, no legs in midfield and no organisation at the back. This is going to be happening a lot more often to us I’m afraid.

It will until we respond tactically

 

[simonr555]

Rico Lewis is not good enough. Never will be.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Our passing is borderline non league standard

 

[Metal Biker]

Suppose you are happy with this shit week in week out.

Has it been shit week in week out the last 5 years?

Or the last 2 years? Seriously what time frame are you going off? We've got half the squad out injured, others exhausted, some out of form, none of this is normal for us. Young heads thrown into the mix and it's showing.

 

[No.8]

Rico is fucking shite simple as that

Ffs that is just embarrassing

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Ok mate we are getting hammered have you noticed lol

We used to get hammered every week if you're old enough to remember.

Wouldn't say this is a hammering though.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Pretty simple this, we’re playing with two defenders - Lewis and Gvardiol in midfield, leaving Akanji and a kid trying to hold off their attackers - nuts

It’s mental.

 

[heslops barnet]

Pep’s given up on us…….

 

[TShed]

Given the state of the squad surely we need to set up not to concede as the first priority especially away in Europe

 

[idahoblues]

Kamala better win after this
