This is what you get when changing 10 players. Playing Lewis in the number 10 role is unbelievable.
Pep has had a brain fart.

He doesn't have an ounce of creativity or goal threat, Marmoush hasn't had a single chance this half, no service.
 
Last 10-15 mins was a lot better. We had a lot of the ball and made Leverkusen drop a bit. But fuck me, when Savinho, Bobb, and Reijnders have the ball I just have no hope that anything is going to happen.

Sick to death of watching Bobb and Savinho in particular. They do nothing. They do all the harmless things people thought Grealish did, but without all the good stuff Grealish brought us. They're so, so boring to watch.
 
Well at least Reindeer stopped grinning when he missed that sitter - one of the worst performances I've seen from him, although not quite so bad as Lewis & Savinho. Complete strangers in midfield and both flanks with the invisible Fandango up top and Khusanov showing no sign of any talent going forward - or even going backwards tonight. Nightmare for all concerned - too many changes, too many not showing up.

Reijnders should have buried that. Looked like he didnt even want to have the ball at his feet.

And that is the problem with the majority of the players they want to pass the buck rather than take a shot themselves,it’s actually staggering how much this happens,some actually seem frightened to try and score..

This is absolute shite. Honestly, one of the most disgraceful halves of football I have seen from us in a long time. Whoever sanctioned these players needs a long hard look at themselves because they're dross.

Why they're out there as this combo I have no idea either. Reijnders, Marmoush, Rico, Nico, Bobb, Savinho. Pathetic. Add Ait Nouri to the list too.

When they lined up in the tunnel before the game it looked like 4 adults and 7 kids, they are all so tiny
 
Shocking team selection, shocking performance. 400 million spent since January and no one bar Donna has improved our team. Championship standard at best wingers, zero pace, bite or creativity in midfield, left back always out of position, Marmoosh is not a striker and it shows.
Total overhaul from top to bottom required as wouldnt trust us to buy anything decent in the next window.
Probably the usual Pep half time talk where we get worse in the second half.
 
I do feel bad when we field massively changed lineups as the cohesion won't be there, but more of these players need to up their game

Remember when we had players that were truly comfortable on the ball under pressure? We still have a few but they're old and injury prone.

Think Doku is only player under 29 you can pass ball to whilst under pressure and not expect to lose possession. Will note Erling has massively improved this part of his game.
Basically used to be prerequisite to be able to play for Pep, now not needed at all.
