We are the masters of controlling possession in pointless areas of the pitch and the masters of being unable to control our legs in the areas that do matter

Exactly. I'm sure when the likes of Leicester face Chelsea they still go in to the game fired up, but do they actually believe they will get a result? Teams go in equally fired up against us and because we frequently go a goal down or have a really hairy moment or two at the back the...

Yeah I see you where you are coming from. At the end of the day every player benefits from playing in a system where weaknesses can be hidden. The midfield is a massive problem though. Not one of our midfielders know how to play off the ball. Now that problem may stem from just one or two...

Otamendi is a totally reactionary defender and regardless of what system he is playing in he will be up and down with his performance level because of the decisions he makes.

You're deluded if you think teams don't fancy it against us and see us as a more beatable scalp than the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs etc.

I never said that's why we lost today. I said Bravo is a big reason why Pep's style won't work. If your style involves having a keeper who let's in around 70% of the shots that end up on target, it doesn't matter what style you have, you will concede as many as you score. There no confidence in...

Because he is seemingly sticking with a subbuteo keeper in actual adult man sized nets.

Yeah I get that but I do think we are perceived as the easiest to beat out of the big teams and because of that I think teams approach us differently.

There's more days like this to come this season. Not only are we now struggling to get wins against teams in the top half, we are actually struggling to not be on the end of embarrassing scorelines. It's a huge problem with this group of players and has been evident as far back as the 4-1 away...

Joe Hart.

Maybe but generally speaking we see teams going up a level when they play us and I honestly think it is because we are the most beatable top side. Look at Leicester die they brat us. They've been a shower of shit and we managed to be 4-0 down.

But it does though because there's a huge pattern emerging where we go a goal down to the first shot on target. He's rarely actually being beaten with worldies either, there's usually a debate on whether or not he should have done better on about 80% of the goals and that's quite damming for a...

Probably about the 6th or so time we have been 3 or 4 down in the last 18 months I think. 14 of the last 22 shots on target have gone in. That's only 8 goals better than playing without a keeper. We'd be better off playing with 11 outfield players and just playing Fly Keeper. I keep seeing...

Remember him having really low concentration and really low pace stats on footy manager a few years back so he will probably fit in well.

There's a mammoth rebuild needed. 1: Bravo needs to go. He just does. He's not built for this league. Top keepers make big saves in games they're hardly called up on and communicate with the defence. He has good handling abilities but he's small and isn't able to cover the goal well enough...

Stones was in and out at Everton last season but we still spent 50m on him.

Nope not at all. The pundits are at it as well though. A few weeks back Ibrahimovic kicked out at an oppositions players head while they were on the floor and the incident wasn't even mentioned. Had that have been Aguero it would have been a back page and and centre piece double spread in the...

It's a joke what they actually get away with.

Brainless again. It's not even the red cards, it's the diving in to 40-60s and 30-70s with no idea of the huge gaps he leaves behind him if he misses the tackle. He cost us a fair few goals doing this last season. He's been a great player for us, he really as but he needs to engage his brain a...

People are ok with the future. It's the present most are concerned about.
