An absolute shocker of a performance. The second half was easily the worst of this run.

Outplayed is one thing but outfought is just completely unnaceptable.

The tactics are complete madness too currently.

MOM - The fans for getting behind them when there was absolutely nothing to get excited about.

A shocker of a day this one.

I can’t see where the next win comes from to be honest we are that bad.

Made Morgan Rodger’s look like Zidane. Too easy to play against. And if we get relegated by ourselves then relegated again we should be back to the good old days.

Di Matteo didn't win Chelsea the champions league.
The players won it on their own.

If you don't like something or someone at the club you should still be professional and earn your wage.

Tevez was a bit of a **** towards the end but Mancini put him on the pitch and he was still an animal working his bollox off.

Play for your own pride if nothing else.

Yeah well once again they are not showing it, so maybe fucking drop them and play the kids ? what happened to the ruthless Pep that came to the Barcelona locker room as a completely unproven manager and told Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto'o to fuck off ? I just don't recognise him anymore.

The only thing i look forward to with this slump is the hope that some of the fair weather fuckwits on this forum fuck off.

Villa were shit and won without breaking sweat

They clearly weren't shite - stupid comment.

 

[blue by birth]

Some of these players have been fantastic for us and helped us win multiple trophies but I do think that the following need replacing either because they are past their best or too injury prone nowadays.
Walker...Stones..Gundo...Bernie...KDB..
Possibly..Ake..
All very good players but injuries and or age have caught up with them.
We definitely need to refresh midfield and defence and start playing to Haalands strength.
1st half I think we werent too bad but not great either..2nd half we looked much worse even though we actually scored.
Hopefully the goal might give Phil a boost..

 

[MMA]

we were shite, inexcusable defending and slow and weak midfield

But I must have watched a different game as ville were not that good, despite the nonsense BT are spouting

That's the thing though mate.
All these defeats oppo teams haven't even really been trying, hardly broke a sweat to beat us.

That's what's even more worrying for me..

 

[homerdog]

Disappointing, again. Injuries, age and lack of squad depth have led to a loss of form that is alarming. Let's hope we can turn it around.

But for all those on here wanting Pep gone (if they're not rags or dippers), I'd say be careful what you wish for.

 

[Briggs1969]

Who would have thought Pep would take us on our worst run of form in 18 years

Nobody.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

We dont tip him off , he has no contacts and spouts tripe from the point of view of the rag he is

I’d say this 80 percent on the players and 20 percent on pep

At the end of the day the players are on the pitch. I said this after the united game. I don’t mind losing, what I do mind is a lack of effort, heart and overall grit. Right now many of the older players look like they’ve given up. Pep can’t make them not play like shit. He could however just stick them to the bench and play some of the kids. But at the end of the day it’s on the players to show up

Absolutely. Mostly not injuries or tactics. Players are responsible for the way they play both individually and as a team. It is whether they choose to take that responsibility.
