It's call being a Flapper. I really despise the wet fanny wipes we have.

Ahh name calling. That’s what the happy clappers do best when you don’t agree with them.

No need to panic, yes, Arsenal are better than us at the moment but Pep will sort it out, thats why he is paid the big bucks.
Far too reliant on an ageing KDB, we are too slow & methodical, really need the energy & pace of players like Foden & Alvarez

We could easily get back playing a different game without Kev, if he's struggling.

Rodri, Bernardo, Gundogan

Foden, Haaland, Mahrez

Might even make us a bit more solid in the middle, and give us more control of the ball

Thou doth protest too much.

That’s done it. Quick Sebastian go onto google maps and save yourself from further embarrassment.

Pmsl at that last sentence after drawing to Everton today.

What can I say? Its a shit result, but after the 20/21 season where we didn't even start playing until Nov and won the league with games to spare, I know better than to fall to pieces in December.

Haaland has papered over every crack we have

What did Pep say at the break? The team goes from fired-up to lethargic and unfocused.

I have to admit, I haven't enjoyed our play as much this season apart from the big man making goalscoring look ridiculously easy. I think there is too much passing with no real intent, especially as a lot of it is passed around the back, very safe, not zipped with a purpose. We then decide to ping a ball out wide, wide man controls it and passes it back and round and round it goes. Our play needs someone to drop the shoulder, flick the ball round the corner, someone taking on their man with purpose etc. It just feels too safe, keep possession at all times. We also end up with Ake and Stones in advanced positions with the ball, but the opposition are happy they have it there as usually there's no threat. I don't think Pep has got his tactics right since Haaland has arrived. I hope he does soon though, as we could be out of the league if we lose a few matches over the next few weeks. I do trust Pep, but like some of you, get frustrated with his lack of change in matches like today's.

I'd still have Ake in the centre though

So would I at the moment. I'd play Stones alongside him and Walker/Cancelo at FB.

I’ve been well and truly done, haven’t I?

My reputation will never recover.
