“City in crisis”

Absolutely the worst it's been under Pep. Until we get to this level, I'm not panicking.

After that 2-0 game at Spurs, I genuinely thought we'd be better off if Pep left and we installed some new blood and fresh ideas. He was in the last year of his contract, we'd finished miles off Liverpool the previous season, we couldn't score goals or create chances, we got hammered by Leicester at home and then Spurs picked us off in the most predictable game possible. It all looked to be coming to a sad end. And then we did this.

We might need to wait until the Brighton game's out of the way first, but Pep has solved problems and changed this team's system more times than Soft Mick. He will solve the problem again. It'll start when we actually get some fucking players back. Rodri and Bobb being out for most of, if not all of, the season was bad enough but to lose Walker, Dias, Stones, Savinho, Doku, Grealish, and De Bruyne at the same time is ludicrous. Throw in the fact that Akanji's playing with a muscle strain and we're having to throw that Simpson-Pusey lad into defence and this shite run makes total sense.

It might get worse before it gets better but it will get better.

We had a squad size that was capable of competing on all fronts though.
Quality within the squad was also a lot higher with players sat on the bench who could come in and wouldn't make the starting 11 any weaker. Our squad since 22/23 is clearly weaker and now with players injured its showing.
No idea why we didn't sign a midfielder along with a backup to haaland in the summer, especially with Alvarez leaving.
 
Nah mate

All Pep needs to do is whack Scotty C up front instead of Big Earl and we will be sound

Pearcey style
 
ok we have lost 3 in a row but seriously has it caused that much damage? Spurs a guess a lot of people will feel like myself as getting knocked out of the cup was a good thing due to volume of games, Bournemouth was disappointing but apart from Liverpool all others dropped points and last night yes we should have been 3 or 4 up and ended up losing but we probably only need 3 or 4 more points to qualify for the playoff round at minimum so no need to panic and we normally have spells like this and rather it be now and not the next 3 games
 
Three losses in a row in all contests now.

Something has gone wrong somewhere. The camera production crew last night liked showing those annoying Sporting fans who won't ever know what it's like to a) win a Champions League and b) win a four-peat.

They seemed to turn the mics up loud as well so it sounded like they were intimidating, when I bet in real life it's timid in comparison.
