[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Long way to go this season

You can't be a real fan thinking that ;-)

If we play like that they'll create chances and we don't look like scoring ourselves.

Not really arsed if I come across as a real fan or not.

Whatever, I'll take the point. But that was fucking shocking in the end.

There are so many "first team" players giving us absolutely fuck all at the moment. Less than fuck all, to be honest. They're tired, over-played, and lacking the hunger you need to play for a Pep team.

Walker, Gundogan, Bernardo, and Gvardiol - all of them have been absolutely terrible in so many games recently. Giving the ball away constantly, making huge mistakes, and gifting it to the other team at all times.

Palace created nothing. We gifted them the first goal and then passed it straight to them for the second goal. That sort of shit is unacceptable but Pep seems to think it's fine despite it happening 10 times per game at the moment?

Meanwhile "squad players" like Ortega, Doku, Nunes, and Grealish are giving us so much more and carrying an actual bloody threat when they come on. It's time for Pep to really shake things up just before January imo.

Ortega
Akanji, Stones, Dias, Lewis
Kovacic, Grealish
Foden, De Bruyne, Doku
Haaland

Play that XI until the window opens. Let Gundogan and Walker save themselves from any more embarrassment, give Bernardo a proper rest, drop Gvardiol until he gets his fucking act together. Give the others a chance!

And if Kovacic isn't fit for the Manchester derby, what does Gundogan currently offer us that Wright or O'Reilly wouldn't give us? He gets caught dawdling at least twice per half. Pep needs to put a rocket up his arse.

When is kovacic back ? Is he even training

Some proper mardarse entitled pricks posting their absolute garbage yet again.
Stop slagging the team and individuals off and get behind them.
Absolutely pissing myself laughing at some in here.

You missed the rags , i was on my own today , lol

This is our reality, mid-table level performances and border-line relegation string of results. Pep is all over the place with this team and it is what it is, write off season before mid December.

 

[Gazza]

Really hits home just how poor we have been this year

No, we've just been excellent every other year.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Savinho is truly dreadful.

Walker just needs to leave at this point.

As for Pep giving Doku and Jack 10 and 5 mins respectively is a fucking joke.

 

[york away to this!]

Generally poor after playing well and grabbing some momentum midweek.
Really poor defending for both their goals.
Rico very poor first half but much better in the second. That was never a second yellow and how on earth can that not be reviewed, whereas a straight red can? Ludicrous.
We were waiting to long to change it up and go for the win and that's on pep - though I suspect his priority is now the chumps league.

Sack the board, swales out.

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Rúben Dias. Take a bow.
Rico Lewis. Great goal lousy defending. Olé olé olé.
Bernardo, except for the equaliser pass, was not good.
Savinho FC FFS.
Gvardiol..............

At first I thought another Sportink like drubbing, that back four was suicidal, save for the great wonderwall (espn argies' reference not mine) number 3.

It's good not to lose, it is no so good not win.

[TinFoilHat]

Disagree.

Fair enough.

We'll see next week.
