Me too.

I actually understand the need for rotation.

Although not today,as we were not playing again until next Friday.

We are rotating first team players for players who are not good enough.

You can almost guarantee we will lose the game every time Pep does one of his Ranieri on steroids mass rotations.

It is ridiculous.

We literally rotate for a guaranteed nailed on defeat.

Dead right, we're playing catch-up now. They certainly have the advantage over us for the CL. Which is 3 weeks away, why he didn't play our best team tonight and bury them, I don't know what his thinking is all about. Hope he doesn't let us down on the big one.
 
I'm more annoyed about conceding in injury time and losing again like v Leeds. I can understand the rotation, the resulting disjointed performance and the other mistakes. But not conceding at the end and losing.

But, like against Leeds, it's a draw at 90 minutes so just shut up shop and the League would be won by now. It can be argued that is not Pep way and by trying to win every game has almost delivered the title. But the advantage of a 13 point gap has already been gained. The draw was nearly achieved so just hang on

I think one or two have forgot we still need 3 points to win the League.

And before anyone says it.

I am not comfortable with automatically assuming the Rags wont win all their remaining games for us to secure the Title.

We need to assume they will win the lot,and we need 3 points from our next game.

Gerrards slip should be a lesson to all

What, because the rags are incapable of winning 3 games?

I'd hardly be "staggered".

Neither would I, but do you seriously think we won't pick up two points from 3 games if its really needed.
I'm as gutted as anyone the champagnes had to go back in the fridge but I reckon it won't be in there long.

Not sure it was the players more like the system. 3 at the back with just one recognised midfielder was asking for trouble and it showed.
What Pep will have noticed, i hope, because i did, is that Mendy is too slow and Ake and Torres aren't at our level yet.
I did think Jesus caused them trouble though and i noticed they don't like it when we played a more up tempo game ie when Foden and Gundo came on.

Anyway i'm over it already and if the talk now is going to be of how Tuchel has got Pep's number, that's good for us!

Yes, system may be part of it but it doesn't explain poor first touches, poor passing etc..
 
Is there any other team in the world that would play such a weakened team in a big title-deciding match a mere 20 days before a cup final?

Its a forum
He is the world's best manager but it doesn't immune him from deserved criticism.
Today was a clusterfuck that could have easily have been avoided.

We were a wrong decision away from winning.
Doesn't deserve the nonsense you post, you also like alot of shit posts.
 
People giving Pep a hard time... He's human, he won't get them all right but give the guy a break sometimes... Jeez. When he's gone we will never be able to replace him. He gets a lot more right than he gets wrong. A LOT more.

Shit say today, Sergio had a brain fart.
