We basically need to remove at least 7/8 players at the end of the season. Simply no passion or energy in this team right now.

I’m not being entitled, given what we’ve had the last 4 seasons, but the drop off is simply unacceptable, given that the core of the squad are the same team.

Pep is also responsible, and needs to find a solution, or next season could be even worse.

Pep could or the team could?

So, we've gone from winning 4 in a row to this season and he's finished? Wow!

Have you watched us this season?
Have you seen his team selections?
You can’t seriously have watched this game
And agreed with his team selection.
As bad as the rags are they were the better side.
This isn’t a one off it’s been going on for sometime. Our reluctance to shoot, the constant side to side backwards style of play, the fact not one single player is confident enough to play a ball through the middle, the long periods of play with no attacks or attempts on goal, his insistance with playing the older players who are not at that level anymore, why didn’t he bring on savinho, the few attacks we had only one player in the box surrounded by 7-8 scum players, the fact Kev can barely make a 5 yard pass the list goes on but what more worrying is that peps seeing all this and doing fuckall about it.

Worse derby i have ever watched in that both teams were atrocious. i thought Nunes was our best player which says it all. KDBs worst ever game and apart from Marmoush didnt think anyone did anything of note. Pep had come up with very little this season to find any solutions to our problems

 

[come-on-barney]

If we’re that bad, and our squad is midtable quality and Villa have a much better squad than us - then how can Pep be such a bad manager to get us to 5th, above Villa in the table ?

The truth as always lies somewhere in the middle.

Stretching

 

[Stoned Rose]

Yet the system remains the same. I don't understand the rigidity and I'm not sure 5-7 new players simply fixes things (although I live in hope)....

If we get the right players in it does.

Pep has literally just (finally) admitted the players are not able to do what the system demands.

Pure changes incoming.

Phew. That’s encouraging, least he can see it aswell!

 

[sir baconface]

So do u think the rags and southampton wouldnt like our huge issues?

If they are your fkn yardsticks, you need a big kick up the arse. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

That’s my biggest gripe re Pep.. He’ll persist with a system with players who can’t play it.. Barmy

Micah says watching City this season "has been a bit disappointing" - "players getting older" .........Izzy gets it - no width, passing poor.

Thanks Micah for saying what literally everybody on here has been saying for months, and getting paid for it. (Should we get paid for it, by the way? Ric — get the dosh out).

 

[applecentral]

Absolute dross from start to finish. To be honest we looked like we’d be happy with a draw right from the kick off. No width, no pace, no fight, we lost virtually every duel, gave the ball away constantly and never looked like scoring.

Other than that……

It’s catching isn’t it?

 

[Stoned Rose]

They are shite! But they’ve taken 5 points off us this season…

Good luck in your GCSE’s son.

find solutions? Let's be honest he's been the cause of a lot of em

 

[GaudinoMotors]

‘Speaks well’, worse record than ten bob.

Agreed obviously.
Thats why I think he's an assistant level.

 

[Ajm1985]

Being seemingly happy with a draw when Newcastle are 2 points behind, with 2 games in hand is short sighted to say the least.

 

[come-on-barney]

Phew. That’s encouraging, least he can see it aswell!

It’s taken this long long, really?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Good to see Pep thinks we played well…

 

[east2]

Good luck in your GCSE’s son.

Do the maths fool

 

[spacecadet]

That was depressing, we went for control, never got it, barely created a chance and produced a dull lifeless performance.

That game really showed why KDB is off, he was never at the races today. Barely had any successful passes and lost every challenge.

We played well second half against Bournemouth getting our full backs moving at pace but everything was so pedestrian. It really was difficult to see what we were trying to do in attack.

That was coached out of O'Reilly inside just three days. None of it has reared its head against Leicester or the rags.
