I can't quite believe that we're actually getting worse.

I mean what is there to say anymore ? the players on the pitch look like they don't give a fuck, the manager looks like he doesn't give a fuck, it's beyond injuries and fatigue now.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Clutching at straws here but seeing as we are wearing the 99 kit was this our York away moment and we win on Boxing day and go on from there.
Just saying....

You seriously think Pep doesn't show his passion to win to the players? If they won't do what he is trying to do and aren't good enough, that is NOT Pep's fault. It's on the players.

They need to take responsibility for their actions, or more appropriately of late, lack of actions.

I saw poor passing, walking around, lack of tracking back, losing the ball without any urgency to get it back etc.

I think you're letting the players off extremely lightly here.

Agreed on the players.

But I think you’re letting Pep off extremely lightly too.

 

[Cuban heels]

It’s a travesty letting those young players go , Pep just never gave them
A decent chance and doing that will haunt his fantastic managerial career

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Gundo , Silva and Walker need dropping and give the armband to someone who gives a shit

I honestly think dropping these 3 for anyone fit and we win today.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

He's one of the most successful managers ever using his principles of play.
If he changes then we should sack him

What if the times have changed and what worked in 2000 doesn’t work quarter century later?

He’s taught the world not only how to play this way (sweeper keeper, inverted full backs, possession football) but also the antidote (size, speed, strength and the fast break in behind the high line, 3 man defence), without adapting AT ALL…even as the masters have all seen better days and should be playing in the Masters league!

Everton with their new takeover bounce will be turning us over boxing day

Real encouragement and support, you're wasted on a forum .

 

[citysince88]

£66.00-£83.00 is the price range for a ticket to the Everton game.

 

[Blueknows]

Dropping for who? That’s the issue.

I'd play some of the academy lads that are making the bench
