Could have written that myself, and we actually said some of that during the game. Stick to what worked so well - the 4-3-3 - and don't piss about.

And I've said on here before that we should have been ruthless after the CL final, when we knew that some of our players would be coming to the end of their top-level careers in a couple of years. That failure, and Pep's loyalty to a small, ageing squad, has killed us.

Knowing Pep & Txiki as we do, our squad situation doesn't make sense. No one knows the game like these two campaigners, so why've they allowed us to slide to where we're heading, without acting 2-3 years ago?

Unlike others, I thought the 115 had nothing to do with our transfers, so was surprised when it was mentioned in our recent financial report. Could this be why we've kept our transfer powder dry?

Regardless, we are where we are & instead of trying to find where the fault lies with our current form, we need to return to the drawing board, & rejig our squad to a standard 4-3-3 & hopefully progress from there.

The big issue now is if Guardiola is willing to concede our complex inverted full back tactical formation has run its course without Rodri. The signs were there. With Rodders it worked & we won, but last season when he was banned for 3 matches, we lost the lot.

It's not difficult to see where our major issue lies imo...

Bad enough

Cannot see any tactic

We've been spoilt watching some of the greatest football ever.

Now we're playing at a human level we think we're shite because of what we've been used to.

A true headfuck.

Also, anyone getting Wenger last season at Arsenal vibes?

Human level is relegation form?

We shouldn’t have to rely on fucking shoe ins to beat shite like Everton, every team we play do us for pace in midfield and defence , I was a fan of Gvardiol, but let’s have it right , he’s a fucking shite defender- and people on here give Rico shit - he’s twice the player he is.

Playing well doesn't get you points

At least it got us one point.

We aren't the only ones.

Looks at Spurs, but no one is talking about them as going into freefall.

Why was there booing at the end? The team didn’t stop playing and trying to win. They didn’t deserve the booing.

What game were you watching? Savio, Haaland, Doku, rico & Akanji all showed terrible body language in that 2nd half.
