I see Gundo, Kova, Lewis, Stones, Bernie and Gvardiol are on celebrity pointless…..

How do you work that out? You know after a goal goes in it goes back to a kick off rite?

I didn't know that.

I agree.
I’ve said Khaldoon needs to get the players in a room (without Pep) and ask them do they still want Pep as their manager.
If they do then they need to be told to start fucking showing it with fight, heart and desire.
If they don’t then those players can leave as far as I’m concerned, regardless of what they won.
I did wonder if it was 115 related but I doubt Pep would be clawing his own face off and looking ill with it all if he knew we were getting charged.
It’s gonna be a fight for top 4 and we need everyone fighting together.
If not we’re in serious trouble.

The other point is this. If some of these players have now bailed out, it's unlikely they'd be all in under a new manager. I'd back Pep before virtually all of them at the moment. I'm totally pissed off at the absolute lack of fight and desire at the moment, it's fucking pathetic and needs calling out. This shit shield of the past few seasons achievements won't last forever.

I can imagine you going down with the Titanic and, with your last breath, swearing the captain could do no wrong.

And :)

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

But why does Pep not see it, keep the system with players that are not good enough to play the role, but when things are not right change the system and make us hard to beat at least

Stubbornness, arrogance, we don’t know. I guess it’s that unique ability to focus on the long run, not our indomitable ability to fall apart after a bad spell.

And, to be fair, why should we expect to go to Villa and expect a win?

Because we’ve been so good, I’m happy to understand that this season is an absolute downer. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Couple of 6 pointers coming up in Everton and Ipswich. Didn’t think I’d be writing that at the end of September!

It does blow my mind that people have sat and watched what I've watched for two months and think the solution to all our problems is to give up the ball and defend deeply!

Its clear to me that some alleged fans on here are unlikely to have played or watched football live.

The have very little of substance to offer, cant follow or understand tactics, formations or game plans and have zero football inteligence.

Most wouldnt dare to repeat what they post on here to Pep or the players faces ....if they could remember what

I don’t get this anti Rico stuff tbh , not as talented as his peers , he never stops running for this club , wipe your fannies and point the finger at other players - who to be frank are doing fuck all week in week out , I’ll not name them , but any blue with half a fucking brain should be able to work it out. Lay off the lad , at least he has energy, the bare minimum for our team - and Pep can see it.

100% !!

Complete ingoramus's !!

You never thought we'd be in the Europa League places ever again? That was optimistic.

No and given our standing in world football now we should never be. We took our eye off the ball, made second class recruitment or none at all and allowed key players to all age together without slowly fetching in their replacements. Complacency does for every top team in the end. It happened at the rags and Liverpool and we've made the same mistake.

 

[Roachy]

We'll be back.
It won't be 4 in a rows, trebles or centurians, that's over now but we will be back to challenge clubs at the top.

We're as well placed, if not better, than most clubs to achieve this. May be some upheaval in the process, but it will have to happen.
