That Bernie miss, red sea parted like moses..one soft touch and Pickford would have to commit..he rushes out, slide rule pass into the net near his fee so he can't dive in time = 2:0 why that outside of the boot stuff...as for the pen FFS

Scandalous choice of technique! This is the same Bernie who dinked the keeper messi-esque against Bournemouth last season, just goes to show how mentally exhausted the players are.

As for Erl we saw last season what kind of performances to expect from a tired Haaland, and we saw early this season what a fit and sharp Erl can do.

Who ever sanctioned Alvarez going and not finding a replacement should be handed a p45, Delap would've been a good back up striker, some of the transfer dealings are so confusing.

Signs of improvement. We always get done at the back post. We are so easily targeted atm

 

[BolinCell]

your not far off there mate, its called neglect off duty.

not far off their mate. Complacency and neglect in the transfer market. I can remember when the backroom staff were patting themselves on the back over the 40 million transfer of Palmer to Chelsea.

Maybe he needs to take them camping together or something, or how about paintballing ? Maybe eating shit loads of baked beans and singing songs round a campfire will work ?

 

[Father Paul]

I am so sick of hearing that transfers will sort it, and that eventually we'll get the breaks.

The only thing that sorts this is a change of leadership. We are possibly the weakest team in that league currently. No ifs, no buts, absolute fact.

If Guardiola stays, nothing changes, and make no mistake about it we could easily be relegated.

The big danger would be that even a modest points deduction in February or March might send us down on current form. We must turn the corner soon.

Shouldn’t be missing penalties at this level regardless who is the keeper

 

[Keeper!]

Tim Cahill didn't score. That's another positive.

 

[fulabeer]

The blame lies at Rico Lewis in Defence. Debruyne on at 75 minutes. Not dropping Haaland.
Lewis isn't a defender. Full stop.
Waiting until 75 mins to make a sub???
Haaland???

Not in to conspiracies, but Haaland and Lewis have dodgy photos of Pep...! LOL...

 

[NJCityzen]

From Sterling, Mahrez, Sane

To:
Grealish, Doku, Savinho.

We won 2 PL and the treble since all 3 left. We won 4 PL since Sane left.

Started well, dropped off, absolutely wank once they’d scored.
Hard to see how it changes. Ake will doubtless be out for a few weeks now, leaving us with 4 defenders - Lewis, Walker, Akanji and Gvardiol - all of whom are playing terribly. Midfield is a mix of those who aren’t good enough, are struggling or are physically done. Haaland is lost, Savinho and Doku flatter to deceive.
Pep could be the great leveller in all this, but at the moment is wedded to a setup that isn’t working and exposes our lack of athleticism horribly.
