No, in fact I'm more critical of the "performance " with the passage of time.

Fair enough.

Oh my, you think you have some insight on our play that Pep lacks?

it is not insights when pep himself divulges his way of thinking in a press conference? I am just commenting and disagree on his thought process.

Just read through the player performance threads and apparently some are now blaming Rico for the draw?

Rico?

JFC.

He was my man if the match, I thought he played great.

Arguably the only player to have a consistently decent match from kickoff to the final whistle.

But apparently him starting is the reason we drew.

I am with you on this. It is a game we should have won. For me it's been like picking at a scab for a couple of days and I've made it worse.

An unfathomable non perfornance. The lack of effort and lethargy extremely concerning.

I'd add to that the lack of ideas as to what they should actually do with the ball too.

A bit unlucky to draw.

We controlled the game - limiting their chances to a few shots. Unfortunately, one of their rare opportunities resulted in a wonder goal. This sort of thing happens though when we fail to score a second (or third) to put the match firmly out of reach of our opponents.

Too - the second half was probably the worst football I've watched in an incredibly long while. No flow to the game at all. First, there's a 10 minute (approximately) delay while one of the officials sorts out communication equipment. Then there's faux injuries. And numerous substitutions. And ticky-tacky fouls. Horrible!

The lack of flow in the second half, I think, really hurt us. We couldn't establish an attacking rhythm due to all the stop-starts. And we probably lost at least 5 to 10 minutes of play time due to this.

Webb has already said the bar has been raised for overturning onfield decisions (which means when the referee is told to look at the screen, it's even more likely to be a "clear and obvious" mistake).

This amounts to changing the rules mid season.
WTF is going on?
