He was brought in to replace Laporte but there's a question as to why we even needed to do that. It remains to be seen whether he is better than his predecessor at centre back but it would be nice to actually see him given a go there!

No but we had the perfect warning literally the game before.We didn't bank on Kev picking up any lengthy injury during the first match of the season.

Barco looks a good player and i hope we get him, but he will take time to settle.I think being optimistic, we will sign this Barco lad who will either on loan or see gomez level of minutes and perhaps a phillips replacement which we obviously desperately need but isn't going to help us create goals.
Phillips needs to go and we better have his replacement lined up already.
We don't necessarily need him to create goals, but we definitely need him to plug the middle and stop them!

Maybe it’s time to ditch the high line and invite teams on, playing on the break and utilising Haaland’s main attribute on the break might be the way.
We are agreeing - earlier in the thread I was suggesting that Edersen is coming to the fore (as he’s seeing a lot more action)Ederson is the least of our problems. He was also the only one to come out of tonight with any credit
Lost on penalties. Would have beaten Arsenal in normal time.No but we had the perfect warning literally the game before.

That was horrendous and we seem stuck in a mini rut at the moment? Pep needs to go back to a standard back 4 and fuck this stepping into midfield shite off now as it’s been worked out and we are getting killed this season when the opposition attack! Only positive was it was only 1-0 but that was truly shocking
Hmm sounds goodMaybe it’s time to ditch the high line and invite teams on, playing on the break and utilising Haaland’s main attribute on the break might be the way.
Just watched the game on Amazon Prime with a few beers a couple of hours later.
Shocking, shocking performance.
Absolutely no complaints, can't blame the ref this time ( unlike Liverpool or Spurs )we were shit, they were better, they deserved to win.
The goal took a huge deflection but they could have scored before then.
Ofcourse we are missing some top players, but we really cannot play like that against decent teams. Bringing off Foden and Alvarez, two players who actually look like they could do something and bringing on Nunes and Kovacic who seem to offer nothing is quite baffling!!
We all love Pep, but there are now really no excuses for not taking 6 points from Luton and Palace, absolutely must win games!

No it was due to injuries and suspensions lagrely.Due to piss poor recruitment.
