It’s unforgivable leaving Pep to face the mongrels in the press match after match because executives fucked up recruitment. Every single fan knew a Rodri understudy was a must but no, they knew better.

Those substitutions were beyond arrogant. Lewis, McAtee and Nunez in the middle of the pitch.

Silva and Grealish on wings please moving forward. Doku and Savinho more exciting but possession breaks down more often. Without Rodri we have absolutely no counter protection.

Nope. Exception that proves rule maybe [emoji23]. I mean compared to Savinho for eg chalk and cheese.

Got to applaud them for the effort. Actually think the workrate got better the worse it got. Christ this team has character. Big improvement after Lewis went off. Grealish makes us less counter vulnerable because he just doesn't give the ball away. Rodri absence is obviously critical but...

The 6-3 team with Josko in for Cancelo

Or he wants enough seasons to promote us again [emoji3]

We always knew our club was special, now the greatest manager ever has confirmed it! Maybe the banner swung the second year [emoji23]

I reserve the right to seek Natalie Portman in my bed.

This is a team that pretty much every match from Feb on has been a cup final for years. You just can’t play with that intensity in Oct-Nov and that’s when we have our bad spells. The big unknown this season is obviously can we do it without Rodri. If we can stay within 6-8 points it’ll be...

Well, at least now I’ve a comeback for rag twats who say we just hire the best lawyers

The centre of the pitch is pretty worrying. Without Rodri we definitely need more possession based wingers such as Grealish and Bernardo. Without that, we are so vulnerable to transition and lack the control that has been our staple for years.

Yes Rodri is a master at breaking up transitions but we seem to be giving away possession in areas that lead to quick transitions a lot more.

The centre of our midfield is beyond worrying at the mo.

Hopefully there’s a bit of ‘management’ going on here. We haven’t had the worst run of games, it would make sense with likes of KDB to hold him back for now. Obviously the Bobb, Rodri injuries were damaging but we’re still in touching distance for the comps we want to win. We’re not playing...

Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, Verstappen. When so much is reliant on the car, rain is a huge leveller. These are all fantastic wet weather drivers.

What a play by Maye

I think it’s more to do with the quality of the players trying it. Horses for courses.

Wasnt it a similar run of games last season? A couple of league defeats and going out of Caraboa.
