Sporting CP (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

After an absolute shit show of misplaced passes from kdb at the final whistle he stomped straight to the coaches and a heated debate took place .for reference KDB was an absolute embarrassment tonight.
At least he was trying to make things happen, I'm sure playing more 5 yard passes backwards or sideways was just what we needed.

He's not played in fucking ages, he's the one hope for this team creatively speaking, because nobody else can see a pass or is willing to take a risk.

He played 9 minutes after a spell out injured and by all accounts isn’t fit yet either. What were you expecting him to do?
 
Solly March has the same injury and he’s not played since September 2023 and there’s no signs he’s anywhere near ready to come back yet.
Generally it’s a 9 month recovery post op so unless it’s worse than said he will be back on schedule
 
Silvinho and doku, headless chickens with no football brains between them, take three on and then crumble at the final hurdle
Doku gets what 15 mins tonite after coming on as a sub and we still see posts like this, we have bigger problems than Savinho and Doku, maybe question our midfield n defence
 
Feels like 16/17 all over again, pep has not been backed at all in the transfer window and it’s causing devastating consequences. People thought my criticism of the squad was hyperbole after the Bournemouth game, well unfortunately I’ve been proven correct.

The simple fact is despite having arguably the greatest manager of all time, our squad is so poor I do not believe we will get Top 4 this season unless we sign at least 2 players in the Jan transfer window.
Yes, we need two players. A defensive midfielder and a right back.
 
Not including shoot outs when is the last time an opponent missed a pen against us
Richarlson for Everton I think. Would love to know how many we have conceded in all competitions, just out of curiosity. I mean, no one has hit a post or bar, shot wide or a fluke save. Its quite bizzare.
 
There was a time we had a peak Gundogan on the bench. Now we’re starting a past it Gundogan in most games.

What I cannot understand is how our midfield has been so neglected. We all know that the midfield is the engine of a Pep team, yet our current midfield without Rodri is distinctly average.

De Bruyne was here before Pep, Pep’s been here 9 years, and De Bruyne remains out most creative player by some distance. Don’t get me wrong, Kev is an elite player, but he’s way beyond his peak.

We’ve also replaced efficient players like Mahrez and Sterling who would chip in with huge goals, with Doku, Grealish and Savinho who offer very little stats wise.
What did Sterling offer in his first two years at the club? He looked like a kid playing with men.
 
Embrace the adversity. Most of us have seen it, lived through it and come out the other side better for the experience.
There’s a lot of our fanbase who will never relate to that and have known only good times.
Believe me, it makes you appreciate things much better when things go pear shaped after success.
We are going through it at the moment, on and off the field. The next few months are going to be seismic and it’s probably a good time to rally round and show a bit of support for a group who have made all our dreams come true in the last few years.
When we were a yoyo team, we got to visit some of the lesser clubs in the country. I for one found it very enjoyable.
 
ALL Fans want to win every game. It'd be weird if you didn't.

But some fans don't understand football is about 2 teams and you can lose
Maybe we are just in a bad run of form, Missing key players and struggling to win go hand in hand,

Also, you start to panic and feel even more pressure from the stands, In the game tonight you could see it after we kept missing you knew its was coming,

Really is this the end of that golden era ? I don't think it is, Pep has big questions to answer about the future and whether he will be at the club for the next rebuild or is he ready to leave and let somebody else have the money

But as the song goes

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
 
That defence tonight was championship standard at best, so if Dias and Stones are just being rested it was an abysmal decision by Pep, totally backfired. Felt for Simpson-Pusey as he didn't do too badly but was totally thrown in at the deep end against strong opposition. Struggling to see where the next win is coming from tbqh, Brighton, Spurs and Liverpool is as tough as it comes, so we need to try something different quickly. Just avoid social media for the next few days and everything will be ok
 
We need to take our medicine and suck it up.

We haven't got a right to win everything, quite simple really. We're in a bad patch and we need to get through it.

Thank fuck half of you didn't support us when we was really shite, you'd be lined up like lemmings on a cliff.

Roll on Brighton.

The "we was shite once so anything that happens in the future is ok" post. Bingo. What a load of shite, when we was shite it wasn't fun but it was expected. No pot to piss in, average players and so on. It isn't the 90s anymore mate, we are a juggernaut of a football club with the best manager and players in the game. Losing games happens, losing playing like a bunch of half arsed idiots shouldn't ever happen

I have no doubts we will in the ground we're just getting it all off our chest here. If a few YouTubers and Johnny come lately glory hunters fuck off the cloud will have had a silver lining.
 
Nah don’t mind it actually, atleast someone has a bit of an ego about him and demand better.
That or there's something up - I genuinely hope he is alright mentally as he looked fed up / smacked arse face for a while now - pretty sad to see really. I don't think he thinks he's bigger than the club (but who knows?) just seems pretty much a very sad lad for whatever reason.
