Questioned the lineup beforehand, Felt we were too top heavy and sadly it proved to be the case. Pep got this one wrong. Complete disconnect between the 5 man defense and 5 man attack and no link between the two. Our front press was bypassed by them the exact same way everytime, a little inside ball from the cb to whoever dropped into the 8 position, play first time out wide and they're through and that's 5 players out the game. Way too simple.

Pep took way too long to change it, it should have been done at halftime. Soon as he brought Bernardo on we looked much, much better but by then we're chasing the game and there's not long left.

I've commented in the past on dipper and arsenal games and their knack for scoring late goals. When it comes to it, they play the percentages, bombard the box and fairly often it will get results. We don't do that. We continue with the same gameplan that's seen very little success for the 90 minutes prior, we wasted far too much time after the equaliser just going side to side only to then do the thing we could have done 30 seconds earlier anyway. That or were having braindead Kyle walker shooting from 30 yards.

Who knows if it will prove crucial in the end but right now, the point doesn't really do much for us over a defeat, any dropped points now means we simply have to win at anfield, something we really struggle to do. The only thing we can really take from that is hopefully the momentum we had built up hasn't vanished as it would with a defeat, we get a quick chance to put it behind us midweek and we now cannot drop any points.

Very disappointing result, that has to be our last if we want to keep our title.

I don’t disagree with you but it was “braindead Kyle Walker shooting” that led to the ball bouncing out to Rodri on the edge of the box. We don’t score without him having a go.

We play better as a team when Jack plays but I do concede you are right about the stats, Jack is just better for us as a team IMO.

You may well be right in that regard.

Has this morphed into the match day thread? Broadly we played well. Haaland could have have at least 3. One of those days. One or 2 Chelsea left a bit too much in, unpunished, but they defended well and rode their luck and could have scored more on the break. On such a day many others wouldn't have got a point

Less of this common sense , some of us need to run about like our hair is on fire if we draw at home , i am reporting your post to the sensible police. :)

I agree but I just don't think Erling suits our style of play.

Didn't we just do the treble?

Alvarez shouldnt be any where near midfield.
Doku shouldnt play against any half decent side, he has zero end product and any half decent full back will just jockey him into a dead end.
Haaland isnt a great goal scorer, he just gets a lot of chances and bags a few of them That header at the end was a fuckin terrible miss.
KDB had one of those games where nothing came off but i forgive him because hes fuckin god!
Walker is the thickest footballer ive ever seen

Not a great point really today, haaland could/should have had 3.

Frustrating game but take the point. This whole Alvarez/Akanji centre mid bollocks needs to end. 60 mill on Nunes to do what exactly??

Exactly. He’s turning into another expensive bench warmer, Just like Philips ended up being. That’s over £100mill+ wasted.
