Agreed.

The midfield is a huge problem, Yet we aren't signing one in January, It's crazy.

We'll sign two defenders and use Akanji as a stop gap for midfield until Rodri comes back.

Square pegs in round holes and all that jazz...

Sign a fucking midfielder!

I don’t mind using Akanji or Gavardoil in the middle as long as they put some tackles in and breakdown our opponents attacks. The way we fail to win a single duel is criminal.

 

[kunaguero10]

Should have thrown on Doku and Grealish. Pin them back at 2-0.

What a waste.

Another shocker from Pep, people will point out the soft defending but if we take the game to them with positive substitutions they dont even get to build that pressure.

The warning was there that last 20 minutes

 

[hihosilva]

You cannot be serious. Almost every attack we had in the second half came from his hold up play.

I'm talking about when they had the ball it was too easy to pass through us & that started at the back. Haalands pressing was none existent.

 

[Utter bobbins]

How many points has pep costs us shit

0

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Ake, KDB, Savinho all superb.

Our inability to see games out is why we are struggling so much.

We desperately need central midfield reinforcements.

 

[vicblueman]

He’s played every minute of this season, he’s the last of our problems

Regardless that he played a lot this season he sulks like a teenager at times & starts walking about instead of working for the team when opposition have the ball

 

[M Gaudino]

What did he say?

we got tired and couldnt cope with their physicality

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

The bile in this thread the meltdown thread from some of the self entitled. Great game. Some really good positives in this very tough season. Up the blues

 

[Cobwebcat]

xG was 2-2 but why are we collapsing last 10 minutes in so many games?

 

[Blueknows]

Silva looks shit scared to even pass forward

Was he on the.pitch ? Can't say I noticed another ghost performance from Bernardo should've been sold when he said he wanted off

 

[jayblue]

The last 10 minutes exposed all our problems and weaknesses

Yes that and the 80 mins before

 

[sir baconface]

The already insufferable McAtee fanclub (already pretty much as bad as the Palmer one) got what they were constantly wailing for with Pep bringing him on to supposedly "control the game"

He then proceeded to miss a sitter just before Brentford equalise.

Must have made your night you brain-dead buffoon.

 

[kevreeves]

Back to square fucking one

Bunch of fat slow lazy fucking coward bottle job overpaid cunts

Think that's a mirror your looking at!

 

[willipp]

Maybe Pep might realise that Gundogen really isn't the fucking answer. And unfortunately Akanjis becoming a liability. MacAtee to win it, 10 seconds later it's in the back of our net. I have no fucking words. Haaland really needs to pull his fuckin finger out too. That header straight at the fuckin keeper. I thought Kev was very good and looked like his old self for a good part of the game, but last 20 mins he was done..so Pep keeps him on along with grandad Gundog and suddenly they get a foothold. Lucky not to lose it at the end as well. We need fresh legs in..and fuckin quick!!

If we don’t get some legs into midfield this month then it’s gonna be like this all season. Kovacic could hardly walk as he came off, gundo is playing with a zimmer frame and Bernie is just too lightweight in there. We’re getting killed in the middle every game.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Mental that Bernie is in this side at the moment, and playing 90 mins! Taking Kova off for Gundo was madness.

 

[uwerosler28]

I'm with you. Absolutely gutted about those last ten minutes. But I'm with you.

What about not being able to hold on to a 2 goal lead at Brentford makes you think we will make top 4?

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Kevin created so many chances for us it’s a shame we couldn’t take more of them. I don’t think the subs were good tonight and the tactics towards the end of the game it ultimately cost us 3 points.

 

[Mon Autre]

He is literally a Mahrez regen, sublime first touch.

He needs to find Mahrez's goalscoring knack to be considered anywhere near his level. He creates a lot but he's needs to offer more in way of goals.

 

[Craig]

This thread is making me think I watched a different game - one where we were defensively sound with Kovacic on the pitch, and we had numerous defensive midfield options on the bench but Gundogan came on instead and scored two own goals. In reality, the Gundogan change made absolutely no difference whatsoever to that result. None.

Spot on.
