Have we got Pep for two more seasons?
Just over a month ago, we put five past Palace, after going two down, in fact nearly three nil down.
Yesterday was one of those recent classic examples of how, with our current creative and goal scoring ability’s, we wouldn’t score in a month.
We should and could have won, Aguero would have put two of our attempts, maybe three, in the roof of the net, not at the keeper to make a save.
Haaland isn’t technically gifted as a player and, strange that our last two games whilst he’s played, we haven’t scored?!
Too many players are a shadow of themselves, too old, slow and why the fuck didn’t Haaland take the pen?!
I’m led to believe that Foden has some anxiety and mental health issues, he wears a comfort bandage on his wrist.
He looked scared yesterday after coming on, didn’t want the ball.
We can bleat about the handball decision all we want, it is what it is, we should be out scoring teams after conceding a good goal like their winner, we got caught out, badly, again!
Akanji and Dias couldn’t make an effective or incisive pass as long as they’ve got a hole in their arse, they dither on the ball, get too far up the pitch and leave us at risk.
Similarly Guardiol and O’Riely, who looked devoid of confidence and overawed after recent good games.
Savinho is the least Brazilian looking Brazilian I’ve ever seen, worst player on the pitch, by a country mile.
KDB unfortunately has gone, his passing was woeful, loads of effort, but failed miserably.
Doku is a headless chicken, Haaland, what does he bring? fuck all if he doesn’t move, get in goal scoring positions or get service.
Bernardo was probably our best player, but again lacked creativity and incisiveness.
Marmoush, he’s taken 4 pens before and missed three, huffed and puffed, looked lost.
When we’re bringing Gundog on and a kid we’ve never seen, who to be fair, got in some good positions, looked lively and gave them something to think about, we can safely say we’re at the end, big rebuild and blood some more kids a bit quicker.
We might see some tinkering in America, because Pep has got the biggest challenge of his career.
After the efforts of the last 6 or 7 years, the squad is physically and, now mentally breaking down.
They’re just fucked, some too old to get through it and we try to do what we once did, but can’t, with the odd exception.
Pep will need to change a little, the way we play next season, or we’ll have a similar one.
If Pep has shown his arse any this last 18 months, because it all started going pear shaped half way through last season, earlier for a couple of players, then it’s not buying the replacements we needed, in the last couple of windows.
Let’s see what summer brings, who he takes to the pre season Club World cup bollox and, cross everything and he finds the perfect answer for next season.
If we have a stinker again, by our standards, then it’s bye bye I think, but who’s lined up to replace Pep and his team, it a massive, no, humongous issue, or we could find ourselves in a bit of a pickle for a while.
So, Wharton ran the show, get him signed up, great kid, if we don’t go for him, we need a good slap.
We need a Kompany type captain, we need a KDB and Silva, we need an Aguero, we need a Pep tweak that works and makes opponents change tactics against us or struggle to defend.
