Had a mare tonight. I’m just watching the second half. Was caught out and missing on a few moves. Kept running to the right rather than keep to his position.
He’s still a good player just didn’t have the best of nights. He’ll be ok.

I think we need to recognise there's players who currenrly aren't fit, he didn't look anywhere near fit to me, same with walker last weekend.
With peps decision to play such a risky way, his 1v1 defending and pace is essential, need to get him fit.

So if even the players on the pitch aren't fully fit why the fuck is Pep persisting with this suicide setup ?I think we need to recognise there's players who currenrly aren't fit, he didn't look anywhere near fit to me, same with walker last weekend.

I'm a big fan of his, but he has to be injured. He's always been lackadaisical, but his effort this season has been a disgrace.

Our back line yesterday in order :Very obviously not fit.
-young, maybe not in his best position
- a baby
-exhausted, injured
-exhausted, young
Add to this a back for that has never played together - and no left sided or right sided pairing that typically plays together.
Could they have played better, yes? But I don’t think this game is entirely their fault. I wouldn’t throw a single one out with the bath water. Usually we have the strength elsewhere to compensate for a bad day or an injury. That was just too much yesterday.
