Couldn't watch it, just listened to the delayed commentary on the web site.
Is it easier for any oposition to score goals against the run of play? #PepOut
Anyway, the young lads have a brilliant future ahead.

While this is also a good one, I am very glad you went the way you did.
Good choice Jim. ;)

Might be the shittest penalty shootout in existence.
Pep made some weird decisions in this. Why's he playing Phillips cb? He's never going to play there for us and it deprives an actual cb from playing. Haaland, why is he still only getting 45 minutes? He's had a full pre-season he should be as fit as anybody now, kovacic has just come back and even he got 60 minutes, is he secretly nursing some knock? When he did come off, why are we putting mcatee as the false 9? It's not his position, we want to see him play as the 10 as much as possible to see what he's got if he's to break through this season. Just bizarre choices.
For the third game in a row, Doyle despite getting just half hour looked by far the most accomplished of the kids and realistically the only one that has any shot of being involved in any meaningful way with the squad next season if he isn't shipped out on another loan. I think he could prove useful, like to see him stay with us at least until January.
Gvardiol looked rusty but expected for his first start, unreal assist. Kovacic seemed to do a Benjamin button, looked really rusty from the off but got fitter and sharper second half, that run for the second was fantastic.
Grealish was disappointing overall but he took his goal incredibly well.as meaningless as it is, him getting a goal could really do something for him, lets see whether we get more from him in the last game.
Rico Lewis has played 3 full 90 minutes in 10 days, kid must be fucked.
Phillips gets through 90 minutes out of position and puts in a more than respectable shift then misses a pen, zero value to it but when the lads confidence is as shattered as his, that's the last thing he needs.

I think that attempt by big erl in the 1st half was over the line. The catalan clogging cunts got away with one there.
