I thought we were poor first half against Brentford. But that today was awful first half. Doku only dangerous player. Pep picking Nunes Alvarez and Akanji centrally behind Haaland meant no technical quality or service for Erling.
Second half subs made some difference. Tempo and fluency got better. The big lesson should be one of Phil or KDB must be central in all games. And the Alvarez midfield / 10 experiment needs to be put down permanently. I can’t remember hating a Pep selection as much as the constant shoehorning of him into every fucking team.
Other than that. Splendid win. Braut is beautiful. We’re doing the double treble. :)
