Agreed about Haaland as well. A 10yr contract and we've obviously told him we're going to build a team to challenge and make him the central focus and superstar but if go into a third season of winning nothing then the pressure to keep him will only intensify. Its a big second half of the season for us in more ways than one.

if he wants to go then bye im not stressing about and like pep says if want to go then go bye and we'll more than likely got another half decent manager to replace pep when he's had enough
 
I have no answer other than we've looked flat and tired for 3 straight matches. Rodri papered over the cracks a bit today IMO. Stinkers from Foden and Cherki. Haaland reprising the invisible man role and beginning to make me wonder. O'Reilly much better, thought Bernie was solid,/ Nunes with a few gaffes but okay overall.

Wing work seemed non existent. Hoping Gvad and Dias are okay.

With 54 points to be had, it's way too early for the "title's gone, season might as well be over" comments but from what I've seen that appears to be the mettle a fair swathe here bring to the equation.

I'm not 'happy clapping' and know we're gears away from hitting a title winning stride but It just gets so tired.
 
Looking at the highlights on the way home at Stratfird Services, Delap pushing Dias into the advertising hording should have been a red - not just a yellow.
A deliberate foul designed to take Dias out of the game.

Lot of good points.

That being said, defence needs a proper overhaul.

Ake and stones need to make way for a proper experienced player to directly challenge gvardiol and Dias. If the new player is any good he will take a start place and can rotate with the two above or gvardiol can go to LB on occasion.

The club bought Khus and Reis but none have made the impact needed and now we are right back to a defensive injury crises. Ait nowhere since he joined. Obviously he away now to play international

The elephant in the room is Ake and stones. Buy a proper world class defender to replace in the summer.

Bobb and sav must also go. Step by step we are getting a proper decent team again. Few issues still with us and no point pretending otherwise. You don’t have to take anyone’s word but rather look at the results and performances.

Nowhere near previous standards of excellence. Decisions need to be much better for that to change.

How can you pass judgement on Khus he's hardly played. As for Reis he's out on loan You should be more concerned about Dias as increasingly he looks more suited to Wrestle Mania

Which manager did you think did better today? Or Thursday?

Not sure if there are PRNs for dementia... but you might want to ask your physician. How is the manager responsible for how poorly certain players performed and all of the missed chances and poor choices. We were all over them and on another day same exact lineup with Pep as manager wins it 4-0.
 
Always going to be a difficult game over a difficult period but thought we handled it well until the injuries, following another shambolic refereeing performance that allows their players to kick us to fuck.

Multiple times they were allowed to rake our players legs and follow through with stamps to ankles and feet.

As for those who hit us hardest, some of our former players are no longer welcome in my eyes, especially Palmer and Delap, who had total contempt for our players and chose to leave one on them.

No wonder our players are knackered and getting injuries. Not looking forward to the rest of this month, to get anything out of it now will be a fucking miracle.

Anyone think we missed Gonzales today?

Well we missed the quick counter attacking passes he does, but the killer was taking Rejinders off - Chelsea got more space in the middle of the Park that eventually led to their goal.
We were more effective on the break with Doku - but we didn't convert the chances generated.
Foden would have even a better substitution he was looking tired and was getting s bit sloppy.

100%. Cherki needs to put a damper on his flair. He made so many poor passes and choices today by trying to be cute. I think his mistakes cost us at least 2 more solid goal chances.

Very much like the guy but he needs to realise you don’t get as much time on the ball as you do in league 1. He had at least 2 shooting opportunities in the second half and just waited too long to put his laces through it.

I think he'll turn out to be another very frustrating player, just like Doku just like Savinho, got bags of time though
