Which players embarrassed themselves?

Not seen it on the telly, But Gvardiol was truly awful for the first two goals

After the first goal goes in the team have to simply manage the game - 11 behind the ball, low
Risk, and time waste and see the game out - like we see the oppositon attempt week in and week out. Given the recent run not one person would criticise seeing that game out - not doing that was criminal

Just don't understand how anybody is blaming Pep for making subs at 3-0 up. We know the situation with the squad and all the injuries we have. There's no excusing the goals we conceded.

Pep certainly has things to answer for but he’d have been crucified if we get hammered by the dippers using players even more shagged out than they are now. If you can’t rest anyone when you’re 3-0 up against the Dog & Duck, 20 minutes to play and have a dressing room full of sick notes, when can you?

Criticise other stuff by all means but at least there was a logic:

- Gundo off: age has taken its toll and he’s playing far more minutes than he should.

- KDB on: patently not match fit so it was an opportunity to ease him back.

- Phil off: been looking a bit jaded this season and some suspect poorly.

- Nathan off. Only just back from injury and he’s needed for the dipper game.

- McAtee on: a rare chance to give him some minutes.

Some people want it every fcukin way but hindsight’s all too easy when pontificating on a forum. We don’t have that luxury in real life.
 
Well looking ahead to Sunday, assuming the people in training are ready to go, is this the lineup?:

Ederson
Lewis Dias Akanji Ake
Gundogan
Foden Debruyne
Savinho Grealish
Haaland

Play a straight back 4. Take some early pressure and counter.

I don't know why posters are getting out their prams, it isn't exactly a shock is it?
We are what we are at the minute and that is woeful. This team has run it's course, it isn't rocket science. They've give us the treble and four in a row and after years of running themselves into the ground for us we need to give them some slack.

There was always going to be a tail off and a dip, it's happening, it's real, we just have to suck it up and crack on, no use pointing the finger or putting the blame on individuals, as a team they've all had that drop off


Get used to the fact we aren't winning anything this season, that isn't being defeatist, that is being honest with the situation.

Top 4, maybe an fa cup run and it's a decent season. Forget champions league this season, we are nowhere near good enough.

We all need to accept what is going on, simple really.

Yep. There’s a reason we are the only team to win 4 in a row. It’s ridiculous the team achieved that after the treble. They look physically and mentally knackered, perhaps since the FA Cup final. Not surprising given what they’ve done over the last few years and the injuries have then killed us. Am sure Pep made those subs with an eye on the weekend and fear of more injuries.

We as Blues can’t forget their achievements. We are all pissed off, but we’ve got to give them the love, when all the media and red fuckers will be rubbing their grubby hands, hoping we turn on each other and then forget what we’ve experienced over the last 15 years.

They want to stain all we’ve loved - fuck them. It may be coming to the end of a cycle, but rage, rage against the dying of the light. This team and club deserves that and they have to know we love them, we might win something, we might not this season, but they deserve our gratitude, passion and fight.
 
Well, we again created quite a lot of chances (18), but are just so flimsy & lacking in confidence & conviction at the back.

Given what's been happening in recent weeks, Pep probably shouldn't have made those 3 "the game is over so let's give Kevin & the youngsters a run out" substitutions - he was tempting fate ?

Thought Rico was decent today… Gvardiol not having a brain fart would have meant we win that game 3-0 with no drama

He was never where he should have been, he’s struggling at the moment. Poor at Brighton, Poor v Spurs and poor tonight. However, not on his own. Gvardiol, Akanji, Ederson also poor.

God I wish I'd recorded myself. I said to the bloke next to me "bit early for those subs".

Just do the subs one at a time. Hindsight says a triple sub has been a mistake before.

I had no issue with who he took off, it was throwing that bag of nerves Pusey into the game when Dias and Walker were on the bench that bothered me instantly. My heart sank a bit when I saw he was coming on.

Dias should have been given 15 mins ahead of Anfeld. Feyenoord wouldn't even get their first goal with him there. Instead Pusey caused the chaos that gave Feyenoord a sniff and our shit confidence takes care of the rest.

You have to ask, if Dias isn't fit enough to play 15 mins in a game that's all but over, then why is he even on the bench? Bizarre from Pep tonight and absolutely suicidal shit from the players - Ederson and Gvardiol especially. A terrible end.

Well said mate.
In a thread full of mardarses and entitled bellends, someone sees the bigger picture and posts some sense.
Well said brother.

Criticism not allowed? I think after recent results and the manner in which they happened your the only one that isn't a ****. Followed this team for 58 years so i can recognise shit when i see it, and this team and manager are up to their necks in it. Problem is that it is their own shit

Well you know fair well what losing is all about then or have you forgotten when we lost regularly?
 
We need pace back into the team it’s gone slow slow slow and January can’t come quick enough.
