Too late it already is and that of the whole team.
Does Pep have to put his principles away and just change things i=until we get that confidence back?
Go defensive and stop coinciding soft goals?

Put Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias and Manu Akanji in our defence next to him and we look rock solid. It only happened once in months, against Forrest, and we won 3-0. Our only win in months. He looks bad because our defence is shocking at the moment. He was our best player earlier in the season.

Josko was not rock solid even in that Forest game. His pass and defending was off mark at times. But his attacking was very good.Put Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias and Manu Akanji in our defence next to him and we look rock solid. It only happened once in months, against Forrest, and we won 3-0.

Passing should be his strength but I am still baffling about why he ignores his wide man so much. Almost never willing to pass down to the winger quickly enough no matter it is Grealish or Doku on the touchline. He eyes up a pass into the middle more often and when he could not find the pass he reluctantly passes to the winger who is often closed down already. Whenever Ake Ruben or Akanji moves to this area their ball find the wide men quicker and sharper. The passes into the middle, sometimes good but more often not good and often lead to opposition counter.
Oh I am now missing Laporte and Zinny. At this rate I would say no to loan Laporte back for half of a season. Will the Saudi accept a swap deal with Walker? Just asking...

He wasn't he was done, his knee was badly damaged in the title run in when he played on in incredible pain, he never recovered and hence why his only option was Saudi, the club let him leave for a very reasonable fee so he could collect big wages.Laporte was treated poorly, no way he's coming back
