Bodo/Glimt (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

Pep will never tell his wide men get down the long cross it first time and have players in the box! It’s so weird that we rarely cross the fucking ball from wide left foot swinging in or right foot swinging award from the goalie it’s pass back or Doku gets past a man pass it along the floor
 
absolute no team work and working as a unit. defence completely left on their own. just like vs rags. we are really less these days than sum of its parts.
these players may not be as great as the ones they replaced but suicide tactics will make even greater players look shit.#

and even as we are we should be levels better than rags and Bodo make no mistake. we shouldnt need prime KDB and Walker to beat these. thats absurd.

We’ve become a very lazy team.
Doesn’t matter what the tactics are or the personnel that’s picked.
If you play that half arsed you’re gonna get beat, even off shit teams, tonight and Saturday being the perfect example of that.
We’re lazy with the ball, no movement, no urgency, no fight.
We’re lazy without the ball, half arsed press, jogging back, no real effort to actually win the ball back.
We’ve no fight and even less pride.

Yes. We've become soft as shite and the basics for a good team are AWOL. Passion, desire, grit amongst others are nowhere to be seen. Without them everything else falls down.
 
Can't wrap that in glitter but again not much we can do with the defence not being at full strength and some of our seniors not being at their optimum and going through the motions (same for Pep to some extent) . Fair play to Bodo Glimt they fully took advantage of our glaring weaknesses.

Better when we went down to 10 men lol

Shocking week of football, if u can call it football.

Onwards to Wolves and I'll be at The Etihad willing them on. Semenyo & Guehi in hopefully Nunes back and I pray for a better performance.

Is there any news regarding Nunes and Gonzalez availability for the Wolves game?

But the lack of effort shown by the players tonight doesn't happen on the field
100% it comes from Pep and the truth is the buck falls at his door for allowing it

We just played to slow first half to many touches gives opposition time to close us down!

In his first season we all wondered whether he could bring the squad together to believe in his system, but he made it work. Now he’s trying to do the same but this time all the opposing teams know how to counter it so it’s much, much harder. My theory is there are not enough players in the squad that really trust he can make it work a second time.

Change the system; make it fit the players?

Transition. People expect the players who took us to such highs can be replaced like for like and we continue to win things almost like liquid. It really doesn’t work like that.

there has been a huge drop in players quality coming in.
