If I understand your point isn't that part of the problem. Pep exercises too much control and inhibits freedom of expression. Take West Ham on Saturday. We were desperate for a goal. One of the tools in Semenyo's box is a long throw which might have been worth try given all else had failed...
One of the issues over the last couple of seasons has been the downgrading of the players who have come into replace those who have been past their peak. We complain that for what ever reason we have not gone for best in class. I see that appointing Maresca would be a continuation of that policy...
What do I take from tonight? It confirms to me that in recent weeks Pep's blind spots have cost us. Lots of us have been calling for Khusanov to be starting every game. Tonight we were proved correct. Again we have been calling for Cherki to start. Tonight proved correct. Starting Dias is an...
I wonder why there is such a shortage of top talent throughout Europe. One might have expected given the recruitment of young players into football academies and the training they get that we would now be seeing some really talented players. Or perhaps that is the problem. Flair is coached out...

Perhaps I've missed them but all the photos of Trump recently seem to show him surrounded by his sycophants. I might have felt a little more at ease if I had seen some military presence. At least they have some grasp of the realities of war and strategy which is clearly lacking in these idiots
Everybody accepts that we are in a rebuild but the disagreements start with where are at in that process. Personally I don't think we have progressed very far.
Given that a squad is composed of 25 players let's do the figures for next season. Some will disagree but the body of opinion supports...
We might try to console ourselves with the fact that we are still in 2 Cups but for a Club with the stature we have our season is over. Out of CL and Title Race.
If we are to take stock we have not really progressed from last season either in terms of playing style or having squad of players...
