Well that's just pathetic, isn't it?

It’s the reality of it.

 

[Ric]

On a separate note, it’s nice to see three academy graduates in the starting XI.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

this is the worst starting line up i have seen since pep became manager.
what does he see that no one else does.
or is he trying to get the sack.

Really, the worst line up in 9 years! Nothing like it.

 

[TheRubberRing]

Bit depressing isn’t it?

 

[dronefromsector7G]

I see we’ve gone for pace again. In other news I’m going to work on the ISS tomorrow.

 

[King Jay]

Pep is doing this on purpose. We need a rebuild with another manager. I am sorry.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'm guessing it'll look something like this when we have the ball:

Ederson
Lewis Dias Gvardiol
Nico Kovacic
McAtee De Bruyne Gundogan O'Reilly
Marmoush

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Sometimes you do wonder what is going on in Pep’s head.

 

[Ken92]

What on earth is this line-up ??? Bye cl football if he keeps going with this kind of team.

Name a worse one in the premier league?

 

[OntarioBlue]

Has Pep lost the plot. I’m just on my to the stadium and I’m tempted to turn round and go home.

 

[lunebleu]

That it some weird selection. Genuinely don’t understand the logic of the line up. In Pep we trust ! (Possibly)

 

[flook]

FFS I had to look twice to find a defender, though spotting the old slow midfield was disappointingly easy

Are you taking the piss?

This place has become an absolute joke.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Name a worse one in the premier league?

Well, one that includes Claudio Bravo for a start.

Yes, the only positive for me …. fearing the worst today.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Guessing he’s going for this…

Currently his biggest problem imo and why im concerned for next season as he doesn't seem too keen to change things. That will potentially allow us to keep the ball better if we dont make mistakes but it doesn't create chances or score us goals. How is that team breaking through 2 solid well drilled banks of 5.

Praying he's got something different up his sleeve.

I’d say two :)

Frankly, I couldn't give two hoots. Two of them have already shown they're not good enough for us.

It is definitely going that way. An hour to go and some have already thrown in the towel.

Quite extraordinary really.
