Pep should have played the 1st 11 at Brighton, and today, and arranged a midweek friendly game to keep the momentum going. ;-)

Thought the players on the pitch acquitted themselves very well. Brentford away is a really tough fixture at the best of times. Rico, Palmer and Foden all excellent, Aké got minutes under his belt. No injuries. Can't say Im unhappy with that. Result didn't matter. Performance was more than fine given the strength of the team.

Jack, Kev, Rodri, Ilkay, Jonny, Ruben, Erl will all be fit fresh and firing for the biggest 180 minutes of their life!

Because we are going into 2 huge games with no rhythm. We were flying, now we have to hope pep can keep them flying on the training ground.

Not sure whats so difficult to understand peoples concerns

Some of you lot still think we're watching Alan Ball's City team haha

Looks like Rags played a medium strength team today, so I guess we'll see who rocks up looking sharper come Saturday.

Can't believe people blaming Phillips for the loss.
There were 10 other teammates on the pitch with him.
Remember he WANTS to play for us.

Slight concern we'll be undercooked for the two important games remaining, but it's Pep's call

Undercooked was early doors, with no pre-season.

I'm pretty sure the likes of Rodri, having played 60-odd games this season, won't be feeling undercooked in the slightest.

A couple of weeks rest will make all the difference in the next 2 games.

Our boys will be sharp as fuck.

Does it put an end to our two teams myth!

How do you know? Not saying it was wrong todays team, but there is a genuine question to be asked as we have gone nearly 3 weeks come the cup final not playing a full starting 11.i

I don't but Pep does.

Sanguine about that (although I wonder if some on here think that is a flightless bird living in the Antarctic). Pep gave key players a rest, gave some less experienced players time, could have gone either way. Never mind, no injuries apparent so hopefully we have a near-full squad ready for the business over the next two weekends
