grab top 4 then sort it for next year.

that's what we said last year...and the season before Bill!

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

I believe he's our future captain.

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

We should have had a penalty at the end and if we had scored, we would have had a win that was merited.

He's genuinely world class,in every aspect.Alongside Jesus and Sane,he'd be a revelation in our team.

Agree, was shitting it every time he got the ball

It's a mentality issue that runs through the team and it's been there for far far too long for it to be down to the managers , not sure spending £200m is the answer , they aren't hungry enough , Kev for all his talent is a mard arse, shirks tackles, half arsed chasing down of players, the PL season is over, it's felt flat for months , same old story, same as the past two seasons, fucking garbage and that's after spending another £150m in the close season, the defence get stick but it's not the only problem.

Fucking mard arses.

De Bruyne is the one who pisses me off the most when it comes to this. Shirking challenges all over the pitch, not tracking back at all (2nd goal came from a passage of play where he was just ball watching)

He is in the side for his one or two bits of magic that he has but with a defence as shit as ours, it ain't enough.

I believe he's our future captain.

So do I.

 

[aguerooooo]

Why did Navas get in for Zabba He wont give Vinny a chance will he? is it because he hasnt had enough practice playing Peps Hot Potato suicide game at the back Its not for those blues with shitty pants syndrome A win today still would not have put us back in the race, but would give a bit of hope if we gained 6pts in London Its possibly due to the players not knowing this what else could explain the fact we played with
no verve commitment ,or a will to win, which pisses me right off,

 

[Blue Hefner]

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

Completely agree. More or less every shot goes in against us. There is no need for teams to put us under pressure, because we are only one attack/shot from the game changing - if they keep it tight or ride thier luck then they will always be in with a chance

Goals change games, and we let too many in

It really appears you'd "rather take a loss so the cracks don't get papered over"... I've made it clear why that's the wrong attitude to have, as if Pep would not go over everything they did wrong regardless of a win... it's how he is, he goes into more detail than most managers out there don't worry about that. Stop making out you're the only one who see's the problems we have, it doesn't excuse shite referee decisions... the chances are we would have had two more points today with Yaya on the pitch to take a pen. So yes they do often directly cost us points... regardless of how we are playing at the time you're too focused on it to the point where you genuinely believe it doesn't matter, it does matter, a red card or late penalty are pivotal moments in any game, we'd still be saying it wasn't a great game but that's a different issue you don't use one to excuse the other.

He's just inconsistent on every level.
