[Pingu the Penguin]

Well we don’t lose…..

 

[Gray]

We didn’t lose, another point nearer safety.

Thats the most concerning thing, even at the end with Mancini or Pellers it was never this bad. And there's no sight of it improving anytime soon.... nothing to do with pep though most on here would tell you.

I mean the players are making the mistakes. We are not finishing our chances. Not sure what pep had to do with that… I get he can change his tactics or whatever but we are getting chances and we don’t finish them.. derby game 87th nunes gets a brain fart.. now how is that pep? He isn’t on the field. And no everyone is fit where he can not start certain players.

How the fuck did we beat Forest

I said the exact same today! It's beyond belief that we beat them 3-0...

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Came out of the stadium and was just resigned rather than angry. We started so well, moving the ball quickly and playing with real intent, often quite directly. The two wide players were tucked inside, which gave us numbers in midfield. Then we scored and the wingers moved out wide, after which we looked less effective. But overall a good first half compared to recent showings.

Then we did nothing in the second half, and even managed to fuck up the penalty. After that the belief seemed to disappear and we were lucky Everton messed up that 4 on 2 near the end. What was noticeable though was that in previous seasons, in the last 15 minutes, we'd throw the kitchen sink at the opposition to get that winning goal. Yet we barely upped the intensity and played like we were 3-1 up. It's very worrying but as long as we get a point from each of our home games, we should be safe from relegation.

From Sterling, Mahrez, Sane

To:
Grealish, Doku, Savinho.

Grealish didn't feature.....

 

[Ezy]

Grealish didn't feature.....

So what? has he been a success?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Doku seems to think he has an age every time he gets the ball, loses it on the wrong areas all the time, as a striker you don't have a clue when the ball is coming in, frustrating as hell

Both wingers of the same ilk mate, Grealish no better, Bernardo equally as poor when he plays there. There in lies a big problem

The results are to do with Pep though. 1 win in 13.

Funny how when we win its all down to Pep but now were in a shocking run of form its all down to the players. Same story every week. Cant have it both ways.

You do realize what he says in the media is not what he says to the players and such right? Have you seen any of this documentary… also I guess it’s his fault haaland missed the pk and berno missed a sitter etc

I didn't single out Pep as the only problem. However, the buck stop with him.
Haaland has been poor and low on confident for several weeks, drop him.
