I want creativity and I want it now!!!

 

[pudge]

Who are the folk who said Savinho has his man on toast?

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Ref buying everything from villa

 

[skillman]

Bernie plays every single pass like we’re seeing out a 5-0 lead. Infuriating

 

[City10.]

Cherki not even warming up. What the hell is Pep doing man!!!

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Im struggling with him. Hes a nice enough footballer… think thats it

He’s playing out of position today and it shows

 

[East Level 2]

Need to just stay in the game and hopefully nick one.

That's what we're reduced to.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

This is fucking wank. What is pep watching. Make a fucking change

I often wonder if he's just a really really stubborn fucker. Like he's picked a team and wont accept that he's been wrong, so he persists with it until the bitter end rather than admit he's wrong.

Guess this is the brand of football people raved about for years with Klopps Liverpool. Headless chicken stuff.

 

[TFC]

So we've come here on the back of some decent form and so far dropped a performance right from the middle of last season. Predictable, slow, just shite. Come on City, remember it's this season ffs, not last

 

[Gordyola]

Did they put the clocks back or the year last night

 

[Nascent Blues]

The number of unforced errors that has crept into our game in relation to simple, 10 to 15 yard passes, from multiple players, is fucking weird.

 

[roach3]

When will players learn that you put one finger on a player they’ll go down, that’s said he’s a diving ****

 

[houraisen]

Pep, do something!

 

[levets]

Wish we’d fucking go forward with some dynamism. Side to side, back, forward, side… speed it up ffs

 

[skillman]

Who are the folk who said Savinho has his man on toast?

None I hope considering he’s up against Cash

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Game is drifting away here

 

[HolisticJim]

The type of match we lose because Pep didn’t want to change it on time

This. Exactly this.

Surely he can see that this isn't working.
Why the fuck doesn't he change it then.

 

[MellowJoe]

Someone should tell the lads we're losing

 

[69FACUPfinal]

like to fall over easily don't they?

Especially on the rare occasion we get anywhere near their box. No point us ever resorting to that, the opposition would get the free kick.
