The worry this season is you can tell after 10-15 its going to be one of those performances and the players or Pep can't do antthing different.

I personally don't think we have a prayer of winning the CL

As poor as we were, we created enough chances to win that game. Sterling shot wide with a clear sight on goal, then he let ball hit him in the face instead of heading it at point blank range. Silva at the near post shot wide at close range. Then Mendy inexplicably stopped watching the line the other defenders were holding and it's 2-0 game over.

We created fuck all mate, which game were you watching?

Our front men were bossed throughout, whole team were poor.

Baffling from Pep, and I'm one of his biggest fans on here.

Why play David 90 minutes against Bournemouth, if you think it might be a good idea to start him 3 days later in such an important game?

Why keep David 80 minutes on the pitch and let people cross the ball to him in the penalty box?

Why think that David can still be a starter at this level at all? Why change De Bryune's role in order to accommodate him in the team?

Pep got sentimental like many fans and underestimated that game. And, sadly, got what he deserved.

Wasted a great opportunity for another trophy and gifted a chance for Manure/Chelsea to win a trophy.

Pep got it wrong and did very little to change it, Mahrez on the right is a luxury, we were better when Sterling plays on the right. We hardly ever get to the by line these days, and crossing from deep is a waste of time. Our play was slow and predictable and Jesus very rarely can deeper to play the ball. No one running beyond the forward players. I have never liked Mendy he does not read a game very well and often appears out of tune with everyone else. We surrendered the cup without a fight, we tried to be clever and patient and it did not work, we would have been better going for broke and we did not.

Not for this thread, but IF Pep is only staying one more season, not sure where that leaves us n the transfer market.

if he’s only here one more season he needs to go now. I want him for 5 more but right now we need a plan & consistency as this team needs a lot moving on

We were fucking crap first half and got exactly what we deserved.

We have a lot of problems to solve for next season not least what is becoming on almost total reliance on KDB having to play well for us to win.

The defence is just crap.

Tall clinical striker. Fuck anything else.

Did we have an invisible 6ft 4 striker on the pitch btw?

Yeah, he’s played quite a few games this season
