He's a Pep player.

Lets get him.

I'm too bored with this team now to even bother getting annoyed, I may show a bit of interest if we get to the cup final. Roll on next year and fingers crossed someone at the club realises you need more than soft technically gifted midgets to be a decent team.

Bang on mate, going to be fucking shit atmosphere at the rest of the home games , might just raise a murmur in the derby.

 

[Scouse Blue]

They were terrified about our attacking prowess in the first half. Pep when interviewed after the game... " Sterling substitution tactical". To quote Bill... "Genius". So frustrated, needed to keep taking the game to them, rather than hoping to protect a 2-1 lead!

Imagine replacing Navas with Sanchez and the possibilities that would give for our front line.

who gives a fuck we could have 4 world beaters but with a defence made of glass we will never win anything

I don't care what you believe that was a penalty all day long.

Also putting chances away was your excuse for Luiz being allowed to stay on the pitch being ok.

Haha so in one sentance you say you dont care what i belive and then int he next you expect someone to belive what you are saying...no point in debate i see

I didt day luiz deserved to stay on the pitch....he should have gone....but that wasnt the reason we lost the chelski game....we lost it cause we missed chances and we were poor defemsively .....

keep making excuses as when people do this (and if pep is doing it - i dont know that he is) then we wont improve on that performance and i can genuinely say that there was a lot to improve on in that perfomrnace from our perspective and improving on it we would have won....
1) retaining possession better....especailly with balls out from the back 4 into midfield...either the pass was poor or the person collecting the ball ( a lot of this was KDB) wasnt good enough
2......poor passing whe moving into spaces where chances could have materliased if the passess 1-2 passes before the final pass wpuld have come should have been better.
3. better defending - clichy falling alseep, ottomendi not charging around like a moron, better markign from corners

all the above we can effect.....go into games relying on getting refereeing decisoins will not help us improve

I didn't think it was a penalty until I just saw that video.
How anybody can watch that and still think it wasn't need their eyes testing.

Well done that man, I don't mind if people genuinely didn't see it clearly at the time but there's no need to defend a bad decision no matter how bad we played when it's so easy to see.

 

[OB1]

Agree.

Stones still has a lot to learn but is the best Pep type defender we have.

If we go into the season with any of the others in our starting defensive line up we will have another season like this one defensively .

Stones has been very good recently and appears to be developing into the player we hoped for.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Kev for 90 mins, and Sterling for 45, were absolutely abysmal, should be embarrassed.

Yaya proved why he would have been an absolute disaster against Monaco.

Love Leroy, never stops running and he retained possession very well today, Raz should watch and take note.

 

[Phil1]

Say what you want about players and formations, the fact is, some of our play today was beyond a joke. I've not seen us give the ball away so often and with so little regard to winning it back in a long time. There were many culprits so no point singling anybody out but fair to say when they sit together and watch that back tomomorrow morning there will be a few shifting in their seats.
Very disappointing tbh.

 

[Gabriel]

I thought we never got out of second gear, almost as if we had one eye on Wednesday and were conserving energy. Frustrating performance.
