It's depressing that Spurs are above us in the table. I've watched a few of the other games and all teams move the ball quickly.

That's been going on for 5 or 6 seasons tbh. Only previously we had KDB or Silva or Gundog to pick a killer forward pass. Now we have no-one who can reliably do it, so we labour away in front of a packed defence for 90 mins. Cherki maybe might offer some hope, Nunes even. But right now no-one is putting anyone through. Laughable that anyone ever thought it could be Phil's role.Second (?) goal against Everton I think. NO'R crosses first time and Haaland buries the header.
The rest of the time we slow things down so much that even the slowest team (other than us) has the time to get ten behind the ball.
It really is before it's too late.I agree it is down to the senior players to kick start the season.

Bodo deserved to win by at least 7.
Played us off the park. Rodders looked pissed off hence his silly red cards.
Pep needs to allow players to score thunderbastards again.

So what did Pep do then...?Pep is not completely wrong with his statement, We started off a little more livelier than the derby but collapsed as soon as we conceded.

Sadly, one of those nights when you wished you been watching the game from inside a box.

The guy's an idiot .... I know he's trying to,work his way back to full fitness, but he had no need to act the way he did tonight, and in other games we could have really paid for it ...... as it was in this game we never looked like getting the better of Bodo, at any stage of the game !Only fools and norses...
Rodri, you plonker!
You think we’ll score? ; )Could be another 10-1
Responsibility...?..ffs..Haaland was a fookin traffic cone this evening...

It would be somewhat amusing if the players took it on themselves to change this by themselves during a matcha d see how Pep reacts.Yes! I don’t really get this high line strategy at all. All it does is condenses the midfield, causes it to be cluttered, too tight to play and we get crowded out, lose possession and there a massive space that we fail to defend every attack it seems. Then again I’m an old school foc.

I know Pep hates it but we need to be pragmatic and go back to protecting the goal. We did it early on in the season after the 2 losses, let’s do it again.
I keep looking back at that squad tonight and shake my head. To say that was the best team we could put out due to injuries and absence, really showed how bad things have become, similar to last season.
Noting that Doku and Ake were included in the squad, who were clearly carrying a knock, I found it hard to even make a change to give the team some impetus. We really are down to bear bones and unless we get players back, we are in for more pain to come.

That just to cheer us up?Watching Arsenal tonight, winning away at San Siro and looking comfortable in their own tactics and skin. Complete opposite to us nowadays compared to what we were.

The club needs to address the slide.
How low do we have to go?
Drop out of league title - done
Drop out of chumps league -only time
Drop out of FA cup - nearly done
Drop out of league cup? - maybe
Drop out of top 4? - maybe
Top 6- maybe
Top half?
Learn and adapt. Some honest conversations needed to put this show back on track.
Come on Pep.

Senior team leaders need to have a meeting to sort this out,without Pep being involved.
I think that's a highly desirable scenario. And you know what? I think Pep's a big enough man that he would welcome it. A very frank talk between the team initially and alone, then all present, but one or two delegated leaders, and with Pep, might really clear the air and help everybody to move forward.
