No wonder pep is taking his time to decide his future. Can you blame him? We should be able to attract the best instead we scramble around looking for mid table players hoping pep can do something. I’m not on about superstars either but quality.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Fucking state of that backline. No protection for them either. Can still win IF the big man shows up and/or we're still in it when Kev comes on

That's my issue.

I get Pep needs to pick and choose from what he has from our defenders, but he's doing everything the same that he has in front of them, not to protect them. I don't know what the solution is with what he has, but put the industrious Bernardo and maybe our fastest player in Nunes in a double pivot in front and try that; but we've seen time and time again that Kova and Gundo get run past like they're not there

 

[SWPISHOME]

Happy the lads getting a chance but its fair people are more than concerened kovacic and gundo in the middle hasn't been working to protect the CBs so this puts a lot of pressure on the young lad trying that midfield pairing again.


Most important is Foden needs to step up and so do the forward 3, the last 2 games we should have been out of site to release pressure on the defence, no missed chances today or we invite trouble

It's certainly alot of pressure on the young lad, We are in an injury crisis and we are lacking options in midfield and at centre back, It's clearly not ideal.

What choice does Pep actually have other than what he's gone with? Absolutely no chance Ake and Akanji are fit nowhere near it, They can't afford to be risked or they'll be out for weeks or maybe months.

The midfield is certainly an issue with no Rodri, Kovacic needs a player alongside him, The Gundo partnership hasn't been working, I would have liked to see Nunes centrally but that can't happen either with no Doku or Grealish.

Tonight let's go toe to toe and go for it, 4-3 to the blues will do fine!!

He is not played any part of the squad for sometime and going off yesterday's press conference he is not too chuffed with him reading between the lines.

He’s been injured

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I will say one positive thing - I know Pep's hand has been somewhat forced, but Simpson-Pusey is 100% in there on merit.

Pep would find a way around playing him if he thought he genuinely wasn't good enough - he'd play Kovacic or Gundo at CB if he had to, and we know he would because we've seen him do that kind of thing before.

 

[MillisleBlue]

Just seen our line-up. Enjoy the rest of your weekends lads and lasses.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Is Scott Carson injured as well now?

 

[hammocity]

It was only a couple of seasons ago we had two full internationals for every position. Now we don’t have two players for every position. The chequebook needs to come out.

We've never had two full internationals for every position.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I think we'll win...

 

[RobinHood]

Fuck you doomers, Haaland hat-trick. Might concede 1 or 2 though.

Fuck you doomer, clean sheet!!
