Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[RayCTID]

Anybody notice Peps head in the interview ?? He had really ripped into his skull and left really bad scratch marks . That is a worrying look , clearly massively stressed by that result .

A really passionate bloke, and although it is near enough possible at the minute could do with being more calm

 

[Cuban heels]

Talk shite reporting Pep arrived at post match interview with scratches across his face ?

On the crown of his head , I noticed that .

 

[Gordyola]

That's just in hindsight.

There were plenty of people in the match thread that wanted Gundogan off and people questioning all week why McAtee doesn't start.

It was 3 mistakes and they capitalised on all of them.

It happens. But we didn't lose.

Not hindsight for me said at the time 3 subs all at once I hope this doesn’t upset the rhythm also took the wrong players off Bernie and Josko were poor even when we started playing well

 

[eyalluvitt]

I have the same feeling. The team structure has gone for good, much more detrimental than Rodri, injuries, aged players, etc,

Pep looks cooked, something’s got to give

 

[Blue2202]

As usual some weird shit written on here, like we are all supposed to get home form the game and say “shit happens”.

I’ve just sat in the ground and watched us implode yet again, worst of the lot, had to sit whilst Feyenoord fans are celebrating in our end taking selfies because the club has sold them tickets, but not allowed on here to vent!?

Have a laugh, we are a fucking joke, and the manager has to accept a big fucking chunk of the blame.

Pep and only pep is the one who can sort this out but we arguably look even worse since this run began.

People like to credit him for all the success but fail to realise he's responsible for the bad results too. Hes far from blameless and if he doesn't change its going to just get worse and worse.

 

[swinton blue]

I'm all for giving the kids some game time and normally 3-0 up with 15 to go is about right.
But on the back of 5 defeats that time wasn't tonight
Most of the season we have been keeping the ball on the edge of the opponents box when we are not winning and passing from side to side
3-0 up tonight and we didn't do it
I would even but 10 men behind the ball just to get that win. Fuck all this pep doesn't want to change his style. Tonight was all about getting a win and that last 15 was shambolic. Same mistakes, too high of a line. Just defend 10 yards further back.
I'm so frustrated. That's worse than the spurs result that for me

 

[borassic]

least we got a point

 

[Middedon]

Ake was our best player on the night for me. A commanding performance

And I think Joško always looks better playing next to him - probably needs the stability. They seem to have complimentary playing styles.

 

[RayCTID]

least we got a point

Not a very useful one but yep

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Agree bud but still frustrated :)

I can understand your frustration, I'm not frustrated because we're going through a bad run of injured players causing every starting line up to be different. We have no stability and low on confidence but things will change for the berter so chin up and think about the good times rather than dwellling on our current situation.

 

[stan bowles]

Not a good look for the fans, players and global TV audience to see.

Exactly my point. He must have known those images would be splashed around the world.

 

[justsaying]

At least walker got rest today of criticism, I can't see us winning for a while but we have done amazing things before, support the team and you never know we may be playing conference next season.

 

[city2]

Typical City, not said that for years.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Indeed. Very few players are actually fit enough to play a game of football.

Biggest thing that’s stood out for me last few weeks.

We look not just not “match fit” but just generally not fit.

It’s like me if I miss 6 a side for a couple of weeks I’m absolutely nowhere near it for the first 2 games back. That’s how most of them look at the minute.

 

[Fourinarow]

Pep looks like he's got a skin issue going on, like a form of dermatitis or something. Itchy.

 

[I'm Blue]

The subs were stupid. Needless

He’s fucked whatever he does in that situation.
Gundogan needs rest, he’s played far too much when he was brought back to play a bit part role.
Like it or not he’s our best option for Sunday so bringing him off was the right decision at 3-0 with 75 minutes on the clock.
Foden had barely played due to fitness/illness.
Again probably thinking ahead to Sunday cos he could make a difference if full of energy.
Now if he brings on Kev and he gets injured some fans say what you risking him for?
But then on Sunday the same fans will be crying cos he’s not match fit or in form.
Kev needs minutes on the pitch.
I ain’t blaming Pep cos those players are more than good enough, capable enough to ‘hang on’ to a 3 goal lead at 75 minutes without just throwing the towel in.

 

[Gordyola]

Not winning isnt the key.. tonight 3 up 30 min to go v near bottom side... thats more than just " ohh well" mate text me tonight and he has some contacts.. says tge pre case looking bleak..so

Utter nonsense

It is easy to forget that the treble winning season was pretty much a write off at this point.

I agree with a lot with what you said bud but still still shouldn't of gone the way it did

Sorry my opinion

 

[Roachy]

He's not been blameless but no coach in the world can do anything when your players make criminal mistakes and act totally unprofessionally in a mad fifteen minute spell. It was so bad it looked deliberate. You wouldn't see mistakes like that in Sunday league football.

Not a single person would have envisaged that last 15 mins. It changed when the subs came on but I'm not directly blaming them. I'm at a loss to fathom what the fuck actually happened in our defence for those 3 goals.
