He’s clearly seen the staggering drop in quality and therefore won’t sign a new deal and will try to move in the summer. Can’t blame him. He’s too good not to be challenging for titles, never mind playing Europa conference league with us next season!

He’s nowhere near good enough. Another disaster of a signing.

We’re 3 games into the season and our season is over already. Genuinely never thought anything like this would happen under Pep, never mind after spending what we have in the last couple of years. I feel like both Pep and the club are trapped. Both clearly have great respect for each other so...

We just look so poor on the ball. The drop off in quality is huge. Outside of Rodri, everyone just looks like they aren’t in full control of the ball and they have no time. It’s not even because we’re facing an elite level press, too many of them need too much time on the ball. We also make...

We’re just so far away from doing what Liverpool have just done. They were at home in a big game, the opposition looked the better of the 2 teams in possession, the consensus at half time was that Liverpool were there for the taking.. then they just won 1-0 without really doing anything. Can’t...

Have a feeling this guys career just won’t get off the ground here and he’ll be gone in a couple of years.

We’re in deep trouble. Terrible transfers. Terrible injury record. Terrible football. We’re so far from a big team it’s unbelievable. That 2nd half was utterly pathetic.

Our huge drop off in results in “big games” is the biggest indicator we can’t compete for the title any more. I don’t see us beating Liverpool or Arsenal. I don’t even see us competing with them in the away fixtures. They’ll both beat us by several goals. The knock on effect is that games we...

If our stance is we will only sell Ederson providing we can sign a replacement, then waiting for our window to shut wouldn’t work for them at all. It is the last thing they should be doing. If we can’t replace him, we won’t sell him. He either goes before our window shuts and we sign another...

Be good to get some more minutes in the legs of Rodri and Foden. Then hopefully neither go away to the international team to allow further progression on their return to fitness. The success of this season depends on Rodri and Foden rediscovering fitness and form more so than the impact of the...

Ah so if I pop into that thread I’ll see the likes of Marmoush, Cherki, Reijnders and Ait-Nouri filed under Skoda-level, B tier, whilst the likes of Delap, Pedro, Gittins, Garnacho, Norgaard, Kirkez and Leoni as top tier, A list, title deciding, must haves? Alright then.

Everyone on this forum was straight into panic mode right before we signed Cherki after they watched him score a nice volley for France wondering if someone would steal a march on him or Lyon would up the price and we’d walk away.

The fuck are you on about? Who on here was screaming for us to sign any of Delap Joao Pedro Gittins Garnacho Estevao Hato Frimpong Kirkez Ekitike Leoni Gyokeres Eze Norgaard Hancapie 12 months ago? Wirtz and Zubimendi are both good high profile signings, but the idea that we’re feeding off...

not sure about good, but definitely lucky.

Yeah that is true. But you’ll see a lot of posts on this forum from the last couple of days saying we need to fuck off with inverting full backs and playing out from the back as it has been found out. Yet I’ve just watched the current champions inverting their midfielder who is playing right...

Refs can’t influence the opposition missing great opportunities. It’s actually quite staggering our record of conceding whilst dominating the game, to the first shot on target we face. It’s really impressive how much we’ve won when I’d consider us an unlucky team. Liverpool are next level...

Genuinely can’t think of an occasion where we’ve gone to a tough away game, been battered for 30 minutes whilst the opponent misses countless great chances, then scored against the run of play to steal a result. The red card from their striker needlessly charging down a defender just tops it...

If Arsenal keep Raya, Saliba, Gabriel, Rice and Zubimendi fit all season, they have a real chance of going unbeaten, regardless of what happens with their forwards. It would be very Arsenal under Arteta for them to go undefeated but still not win the league!

Mad how it’s always Spurs we do this against. I posted yesterday that it doesn’t matter what situation both teams are in, the matches against them always go the same way. Probably conceded the same goal to Spurs under 5 different managers.

The difference between now and 20/21 is that in that year, a lot of teams were a mess and whilst Liverpool had just won the league, they lost their best defender to an ACL and didn’t really sign anyone. This time round Arsenal look like an absolute machine who are very hard to beat. Liverpool...
