Precisely.

And now he plays for fucking Everton.

Jack there receives the ball and runs it into the corner or wins the free kick.

To be fair any other fucker apart from Savinho does that but because he's a fucking idiot forgets the previous 93 minutes and heads straight for Arsenals box.

How the fuck is he still at this club?

Because he's a kid and Pep see's something in him.

Hahaha. Inevitably, they want to cling on to the dominated possession aspect of the game, we very deliberately played that way. We wasn't trying to dominate the game, we didn't compete to control the game. We had a very clear plan which involved not having the ball and it was one fuck up from the keeper away from working to perfection.

Same v the rags, less possession than them for the first time since I was 11 stone but it worked
 
Watching a Pep side with absolutely no control of the game was horrible at times or maybe it's just me ha

Really interesting!

First of all, it's impossible to question the application of the players

Question- with the way we clearly set out to play, is this a dign that Pep knows for whatever reason that we aren't ready to play the way he wants. Or is it him deliberately shifting his style of play? Is he waiting to get players fully fit, new players in or something else?

It's strange to think that Pep will abandon his way of playing that he has had all of his coaching career...it just seems so anti Pep

Is this a temporary solution or a permanent shift?

Khusonov and Doku real standouts as well as Nico OReilly....
Having a right back makes a he'll of a difference

if this is permanent i don´t think Pep is the best coach for that and i really don´t think he will ever walk away from his principles, that is not going to happen. This team isn´t near to the treble or centurion team and that might be the reason we are struggling to play like Pep wants.

What the utter fuck? A draw away at Arsenal has fucked our season? Anfield, Emirates and Liverpool home are the three most difficult games we face in the season

That is exactly my point that I made before the game. We will get a point here and there and lose this game and that game. We were beating fucking everybody a few years ago. I am starting to wonder why we have lost this mentality.

As someone else has said in this thread, it's only a good performance playing like that if you don't concede.

In my opinion we showed more fight than we have in ages, but our overall play was really poor. Just booting it back to them, struggling to string two passes together.

Just my opinion though, if you think we played well that's fine

Agree. We had to fight a lot harder than necessary due to losing possession so often and so easily. I hope this is not the way we are going tactically.
 
I’d have taken 1-1 at the start
Poor subs and the more I see it the more I think poor decision making / positioning by Donna. Some you win. Some you lose some you throw away.
