If your paying fucking £50/60/70 to watch this it’s not fucking “is what it is” fucking thieving bastards

Right but if they can't play then they can't play. So what do you suggest the alternative is.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Don't mind seeing us get beat

Hate seeing us get bullied

It’s tough for us. We go anywhere near them and the ref gives a free kick

 

[Chak19]

They are just better than our tired injury prone aging team, need a rebuild

Yeah because they haven't suffered any injury issues, especially their defence, rubbish excuse.

 

[Roachy]

We shouldn’t need a summer. Pep has a lot of good players but they are doing nothing in big games but fold.

No mate, we do a summer. Those not good enough, too old or injury prone need replacing. There's a few in those categories.

Nobody’s forcing you mate!

 

[MCFC1993]

Bellingham suspended next round, now clean him out.

 

[Paladin]

Pep will resign today

If he doesn't, you should.

 

[Bluemoon115]

How's playing Silva and Gundo working for you pep?

It's like Blackadder.

"Ah, but they will never expect it an 18th time!"

 

[borassic]

He doesn't have a lot of options to fix the problems at hand, to the extent he even recognizes the problems.

Of course, that we don't have options is also his doing.

Again, it got us 6 in 7 and a treble. I wouldn't trade that for a better day today. But it doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see Pep at least adjust to what we do have, rather than continuing to hammer a square peg in a round hole.

He has to realise that you can't go to Madrid with Bernardo and Gundo as midfield when you've got legs on the bench. I get that they've done so much for us and they know the system but they don't have the legs to play it anymore.

 

[Tb1981]

This team has lost the hunger
They just don’t want it

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Foden, Savinho, Marmoush have provided the square root of absolutely piss all so far upfront

 

[Gordyola]

Honestly I don’t know what your problem is with them. Madrid are excellent and we are dreadful, and TNT are calling as it is.

It’s the joy in their voices and because they do it regardless and if you listen when other English teams play it’s different

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Ffs mahrez

 

[M43 blue]

Been like that for 18 months and yet he’s the first name on the team sheet.

Pep best bud annoying

 

[bluealf]

Who's pace? Khusanov? He's situationally unaware as well as nervous as fuck. He's just not ready.

He's not a right back either

 

[Fordyboy46]

Savinho, get him off, not touched the ball in 40 mins

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Soon down to one game per week, maybe our players can finally muster to play every second game

 

[BurnCK]

Switched over to the Villa game. Can't watch that shite...

 

[Mr Grumpy]

We are half a yard behind everywhere

 

[happy]

And it ends with a whimper.

This is embarrassing.

I don't want to sound all OG, but we're losing away to one of the best teams in the world in a competition that they have won more often than any other side, we have a raft of injuries and they are pretty much at full strength.

Halifax was embarrassing, this is a defeat.
