Leverkusen (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

I haven't heard "He is an intelligent player" in a long time.

Thanks pep, ruined my 70th.
The arrogance of that team selection was astonishing, and his biggest ever f up after rodri in champs league final.
Disrespected the fans, who paid for that.
Disrespected the team, who want to play.
Disrespected the club, in every way.
Disrespected BL and the bundesliga.
Disrespected the competition, ok, f them.
By half time he knew what he'd done, but it was already gone, 2nd goal felt inevitable.
If you play the league cup, midweek ream, make sure you're playing Bristol city or Rotherham.
That was unforgivable.
Love pep and will always be thankful, grateful, insert adjective, for everything he's done, but I'm sorry something is sadly wrong when we do fhings like this.

Everything here is spot on. Exactly how I feel, save I’m only 60 :)

 

[Norman kneejerk]

They are like a bunch of beach boys , no fire in their belly and the mf so weak
Won't solve everything but id put NOR in midfield to add some physicallity. Actually a shame we can't clone 3 or 4 of him

How the fuck Savinho has the audacity to wave his hands to the crowd in the 80th minute asking more from them after his performance I will never know, deluded ****.

Hopefully he was waving goodbye as it should be his last appearance

2 day rest after a 5:30pm on Saturday, changes were needed, did he make too many? Absolutely, did he get it wrong? Absolutely but shit happens.

I'm so glad I only miss the odd game due to work because some of you lot in that match day thread are absolutely #@@@#@@@ pathetic.

So now that everybody has been sold, Pep and all his assistants replaced, leaves us with only Haaland.

Onwards and upwards let the rebuild continue but most u lot deserve to be back in Division 2.

 

[normskih]

I think they'd have come to City.

Nobody is picking Spurs or Utd above City, if we are serious about the player. The only reason Spurs didn't get Eze over the line is because they were trying to take the piss over the fee, then arsenal stepped in.

All I'll say is you're more confident than I:)

[skillman]

A depressing compilation of Marmoush’s attacking runs being ignored.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

It’s pretty obvious that Pep has had a hissy fit with the team and dropped pretty much everyone to send a message because he was pissed about Newcastle.

Cut his nose to spite his face here and it could cost us top 8.

So he drops the “first teamers” for a shite performance. Then the second string serve up an epic level of shortness in the next game.

Who does he turn to next time??

Just shows how big the clear out needs to be.
Can’t see the club binning a dozen players though and can’t see them showing Pep the door either.

Needs to take some lessons out of Zabba's book of how you get the crowd on your side.

 

[ancoats]

No matter what competition, the league Cup against Kiddiminster Harriers anything, no manager has ever made 11 changes. That was utterly disgraceful and a piss take for all the loyal fans.

Maybe we are not really in the Champions League to win it this season, if Pep is making 10 changes, then it looks like bigger games are at home and in the Premier League

 

[Tomblue]

Why are you ranting about Nunes, a player who has actually played well this season, after a game he had no part in?

Because he is symptomatic of the drop off in quality and the acceptance from fans like you that he now represents our best hope…….. at right back.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

The word “maybe” is out of place, Pep.

 

[waspish]

Well if pep gave the squad a pep talk telling some home truths certain players will either step up or give up

 

[Blue Maverick]

I would add fans losing interest to that list as well.

I know it’s a shit night to go to the game and we always get a weird crowd in CL games, but there was a real sense of apathy in the ground tonight.

Well I’m definitely not doing the CL next season fucking freezing and won’t get in until 1130pm for that shit. Loads of tourists round us, someone reckons they were PSV fans. Take the tourists out the equation and the stadium will be half empty going forward that new stand is going to look empty on CL nights. Cost if living and game prices are coming to ahead now.

 

[Damanino]

i dont get what was the point of throwing this game when harder games left to play in league stage still.
risking of not finishing top8 is madness when we were the only big name club who couldnt get to last 16 last year due to it.

very odd how nicely we went onto international break on a high after beating Liverpool and then back from break with back to back losses to Newcastle and Leverkusen. I expected so much better given the form of Newcastle and the complete mess Leverkuen found themselves in since their summer exodus both staff and players.

 

[Earlyriser]

Just another thought.. If Stones was the captain what the fuck was he doing. Can you imagine Kompany being on the pitch and putting up with that

 

[Brewster's millions]

We have not one player who can grab a game by the scruff and turn it around. Not one.
In our prime we had at least 5 in every match day 11.
There is no ingenuity or inspiration.
It's football by numbers and when the wrong type of player is bought the whole team becomes ordinary.
We are just mediocre right now.

That’s the sad truth.

We’re scrapping for a top six place and if you take Haaland and Donnarumma out of it, we’d be mid-table.

 

[mattyads]

Nunes is a very good RB and doesn't need to be replaced at all. The jury's still out on the others.

You’re on the wind up!
