It's Quiet the £250m return

If nothing else, I am glad we finally stopped pretending like we're not doing a huge overhaul this summer. "2-3 players in, 2-3 players out" my ass, pep

It may not get me likes but I am calling it as it is..

I have PTSD over Real Madrid 93:20'ing us a 2nd time in 4 seasons.. once was traumatic enough with Cancelo..

And everyone blames Rico but we all know who put Rico in that spot. The whole team was trying hard as hell to get a result and he just sabotaged the whole team with his blind backheel pass.

The guy is simply braindead and can't be relied on.

I don’t know more than most but pretty sure I have a better idea than you. By yes man I presume you mean the DOF that built a team and squad that won the whole fucking lot breaking records galore as it went.

Every time they panned to the bench, Lillo had a face like a slapped arse and was whinging to Pep. FWIW, while we had a poor ish season (compared to others) we were only 3 points behind Arsenal and dropped 16 points from winning positions. While we possibly wouldn’t have won all the games, we would have won a fair few in a “normal” season. That would have put us 2 points above the dippers.

As far as the team goes, once Rodri got injured, it certainly affected our defence (along with other injuries) and you could see that as the season went on, Pep became paranoid about losing the ball. From being attacking wingers, Doku and Savinho started playing possession football where they weren’t overly encouraged to get by their man. Allied to the lack of midfielders moving forward they have ended up playing backwards far more than forwards.

The main position we need to address immediately (again IMHO) is left back. The number of chances/assists/goals coming from our left has been unbelievable. You only have to look at last season’s FA Cup Final when Garnacho had the freedom of London to maraud down that side. This season we have used Gvardiol, Lewis and O’Neill but have still not stopped the chances coming. You could say that Doku could track back but when we lose the ball, he is too far up the field (along with Gvardiol) to react.

It was an awful flick by Kova but Rico should have just taken the yellow card, covering defenders would have meant no red even in the CL. Think at that point Madrid with a free kick would have been happy to go back at 2-2.
