[M Gaudino]

hes no gundogan is he

 

[MellowJoe]

Savs forgot to put his contact lenses in again

 

[East Level 2]

Games like this confirm my thoughts Pep ain’t renewing.

Churning out a side like this is a big fuck you to everyone in attendance.

And it's bloody cold in here.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

What the actual fuck is Reijnders? He is fucking atrocious.

 

[dannyboiblue]

Turned it off pep has fkn lost it making 10 changes

 

[69FACUPfinal]

They seem to have oceans of space to quickly run into.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Rubbish. Wins v Bodo and Gala should be enough.

If Pep doesn’t screw us then

 

[Gumzy97]

We have a lot of inconsistent players in the squad. Up and down performances

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Again, this is on Guardiola, we should always start with our strongest 11 players and when the match is won, then make changes.

Maybe not ALWAYS, but in this match absolutely, and we all said it.

We acted like this was a low level League 1 side in a Milk Cup tie. Or pre-season even. It chaps the shit out of me, especially after the performance against Toon.

 

[waspish]

Reijnders looks like a waste of 46m what does he do?

 

[nu774ll]

Is blocking the Savinho move our worst ever bit of transfer business!!?

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I don't understand why we don't have another Haaland-type player in the squad. Marmoush can't really play that role, but we try and play the same way when he's up top as we do with Erling. At least another strong, athletic forward would allow the rest of the team to play off him, even if he's (obviously) nowhere near the goalscorer Haaland is

 

[jamielowndes]

Trafford is a waste of money. Sell
Ake isn't good enough anymore Sell
Marmoush= Sell
Bobb= Sell
Reindeer, hasn't had long enough, but sell at the right price.
Once again it is the lack of pace, guile and patience from the second string. This should be embarrassing for the hierarchy, but clearly isn't.

Marmoush and Reijnders haven't been here a full year yet. You'd have sold Rodri in 2020 by that logic.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

I feel like weve rewound 12 months

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Savinho is at right wing back now!

 

[paulchapo]

This is a total embarrassment and Pep needs to be called out for his shit selection

It was a ludicrous selection. Those of us who said so were jumped on as usual and called bed wetters etcetera. That eleven would struggle to beat a league two side in the league cup never mind a champions league side.

 

[brummie blue]

Can never have Marmoush and Haaland together of course, even when you need 3 goals, well Savinho go ahead and for once be decisive.

We basically sponsor him for Egypt, keeping him fit and watered, then he goes on international duty and usually picks up an injury

 

[stan bowles]

At least we've upped the tempo at long last.

 

[Blueknows]

Seriously what are the board thinking giving sav a new contract ?

 

[citytill1die84]

Pep has absolutely done us here, we now have to win vs Madrid to even have hope of qualifying

we don't have to win at Madrid at all lol
