Literally every game this season we have come out for the second half looking leggy and off the pace. Yet Pep just sits there staring into space.

Exactly. Opposition often adapts how they play in the second half and it surprises us every time.

With people like you we'd still be living in caves

You've got me there because of course the ups and downs of a football club are exactly the same as thousands of years of human development.

 

[heslops barnet]

Thought we did today?

There’s was a proper goal. ;-)

 

[discopop]

Roll us your cap grandad.
Fuck me it's like Simon Bates sad half hour.
Stop it you're getting me all emotional.

Well he didn’t mention the golden goal comp in the program so I call bullshit

 

[Blue Maverick]

We need a leader someone who can pul this team together we don’t have one and I’m not sure who’s available to get, we have a weak mentality especially when we concede.

You describing that second half?

 

[jrb]

We got away with that one.

The second half performance was absolutely dreadful.

Once again our play is slow, walking football, predictable, passing backwards, sideways, etc.

The programme was the best bit about going

 

[Ken92]

We need 4/5 players at least to challenge for the league imo.

RB, CM, LW, RW required 100%

Then concerns at LB, CB, DM (if Rodri continues to struggle) and back up striker.

No team/squad is perfect but were miles off Arsenal as we stand.

The other issue is, for the last 4 years our signings have been questionable at best. Not many have been a roaring success. So even if we get those players in, will we make good choices?

Yeah, you never know that ,but a massive few windows is needed , if there isn´t anybody coming up from youth ranks.

despite the win that performance was worse than tuesday

 

[Don Karleone]

A good job a game is made up of two of them.

Even in this supposedly dominant Leeds second half where we were shit, they had zero shots on target outside of the three we gifted them. Seems an odd definition of shit to me when your opponent can't fashion a single shot on goal.

As you say, we gifted relegation fodder 3 shots on target. We looked scared. I actually agree that we haven't been shit all season, today was.

 

[waspish]

Remember being piss poor till January when won the treble we need that big of a turn around this season to even have a sniff of the league! At moment we look piss poor

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

We got away with that one.

The second half performance was absolutely dreadful.

Once again our play is slow, walking football, predictable, passing backwards, sideways, etc.

We absolutely struggle to get out of a hard press especially when Donna can’t go long. His kicking was really poor today second half.

The Leeds subs certainly changed the game.

Probably a bit too subtle for you

 

[Semper aggressus]

Ruben's level has dropped so much over the last 12 months. DCL looked good against him.

Not sure what his issue is? Too much of the celebrity life?

Too slow. Shit in the air.

Should be all over Guehi in January.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Great first half, we created really plenty, Leeds did not have a shot, we allow them barely any threat. Second half poor, a bit lucky escape to be fair.

 

[Luke The Blue]

It as quite alarming to see the players running over to Pep to get instructions less than 15 minutes into the second half with Donna pretending to be injured.

whatever he said didn’t seem to make any difference, the ball over the top was leaving us in panic mode time and time again, particularly on the left.

Unfortunately its the same most games. Seems to be so easy to get in behind..... As much as I love what Pep has done for us, I hate how stuborn he can be.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Bullshit. First half been great.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

On train home.
Happy with 1 thing..The win.Well done Foden lad.
Otherwise what the fuck was that 2nd half??
We should have been out of sight. We weren't.
Feel like every game has jeopardy at the moment..Maybe I should be happy with the win but something not quite right at the mo. Dont know what it is.
Off out on date night tonight so fuck it. See you next Saturday.

 

[mrbelfry]

Disaster of a season. Only 2 points ahead of newly promoted Sunderland. Fair to say though that Little Philly Foden is back approaching his best.
