Give over matey, Chelsea we are not

Overstocking a squad does not work and who in the right mind comes to sit on the bench if they are world-class

(shambolic recruitment strategy) your words, are you blind? Pep won more league titles than anybody else put together, Jose me 3 titles The rest 0 RESPECT

The stated aim by Khaldoon was to have two top quality players in each position. That worked great when we applied it and isn’t working now we let it slide.

The massive reaction is not because of the players it’s because of the shambolic recruitment strategy which we failed to show in the summer when even last season you could see players such as Rodri where fucked and running on fumes but all we where bothered about was net spending and looking good in the sales department I mean you don’t have to be ITK to know we’ve. Fucked up big style and now our aging squad has no cover .

The job is always easier when sat on your arse just watching .

But you already know that.

There were possibly good reasons for the summer recruitment was as it was, without it being clear to keyboard coaches/managers.

But of course you are entitled to your opinion :)

Have you ever got anything positive to contribute ?

Every bloody post is negative, Neil Young will be turning in his grave thanks to your miserable and negative attitude.

You can criticise, you of all people should know that as it’s all you do.
You can try and do it without your heads falling off though and proclaiming the end of days.

We’ve got nearly a full starting 11 out fucking injured.

Excuse after bloody excuse ffs :)

Some egg in a different thread wanted Pep to explain himself after losing at Spurs in midweek.

It's embarrassing how short people's memories are on here.

We're all pissed off after a defeat but some 'fans' go too far.

i thought you meant noel gallagher at first.

And yes, I agree, too many feel entitled after a few years of success. We don't want to end up like the red cartel or the likes of Chelsea fans

We immediately played better when Gundogan went off, who could possibly have anticipated that?

Or look at it another way, we immediately played better when Doku came on.
I think the injury crisis is really beginning to bite.
We'll see a huge difference when the injured players start to come back.

It might sound like that but do you honestly think that was the team that would have been put out if all our players were fully fit and available?

Sorry mate, there’s nothing shambolic about any aspect of this club.
Apart from the injury situation…

Exactly was his fitness level ?

Perhaps Pep knew more about that than your face value assessment - just think aloud.

It's called an opinion.
Is OK to have one on this site or do I have to run it by you first?

I hope something good comes from yesterday’s performance. No more trying to shoehorn players into roles they are not good enough/fit enough/old enough to have an impact.

We have a brilliant group of players who will forever have my thanks so no slagging off will happen.

I would like Pep to take the blinkers off now and forget who did what and use his tactical knowledge to get the team up and running again. Over the years he used to find a nugget amongst the rubble and he needs to do so again. So far his decision to play kova/gundo in the middle to be overrun is a glaring mistake. Bernardo out wide is also another mistake.

The build up play is his bread and butter and that is non existent, barely string 3/4 passes together in any meaningful way.

Looking at his demeanour and approach this season, if anyone needs a rocket it’s him. We are all thankful to the players for what they have achieved but we need to stop using that as an excuse when they consistently underperform. Its all become too nice and nice won’t win shit. Injuries can’t be ignored and maybe once all players return the level will suddenly return.

So he either uses it as a wake up call or he won’t. Next few games will tell us more.
