Got tried, got sloppy, got stupid.

Decent amount to like before that though.

He wanted to make the subs because we were comfortable. I agree with his judgment because we are decimated at the moment but like pep I didn’t see that coming. As fans we back this wonderful team more than ever before because they deserve our backing

I think it's fair to say that the subs changed the momentum of the game in their favour but he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't so yes, I'm not going to call him out too much on it. As you say, he wanted to protect some of the players for the more difficult games ahead.

None of us saw it coming, and Pep in particular didn't as that's the first time in his nearly 1000 games as a manager that his team hasn't closed a game out after going 3 goals up!

The subs were made on 69th minute The issue for me was making 3 at the same time Pep will rarely do so and imho it was a huge mistake as following recent form the team collective were getting their mojo back the decision wreck the momentum and upset the balance Pep is usually reluctant to make subs as he doesn't like to do exactly what he did last night

I meant we conceded 3 goals in 15 minutes my bad.

Pep has made these types of substitutions on numerous occasions in the past when we are winning by a large scoreline, It's not noticed then as we were once a team that could see the game out with ease as we were the best at game management.

I understand your points of trying to get the players mojo back it's completely understandable, We've been complaining lately of fatigue and injuries and he made the changes because of which looking ahead to Sunday.

Those changes didn't make Gvardiol have a brain fart for the first two goals, That's what changed the game, Not the substitutes.

what was worse this 3 goal capitulation or the Brian McClair two goals in the last 10 in 1990 to ruin the derby win

Last night as I was only 6 in 1990 ha.

Same v Leicester on Boxing Day 21 and we nearly lost a 4-0 nil lead.

Making a coffee before and that game was going through my mind. Similar vibes to last night. Kalvin was blameless this time though.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Don't want to hear anyone whine about the matchday thread and it's negativity again. I just watched Pep scrapping with himself.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Anyone know why Cambrian Street was blocked off last night? The easy way of getting to the Green Car Park was blocked about thirty yards of so from the entrance. it had gone at FT. Was there an incident, road works or was it just a pre-match fuck up to match the in-game fuck up?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Because they have more footballing knowledge than disgruntled city fans.

Absolutely spot on.

 

[Blueeye]

I can understand pep taking players off with the game against the scousers. But should have told them just play defensiveness waste time.we didn't need any more goals .but that isn't his way and it cost us

 

[Blue Til Death]

I’ve always said that after the 10 years we’ve had, I wouldn’t care if we didn’t win owt else ..

I was wrong, this slump is killing me, last night, I couldn’t sleep at all.. I’m a FOC and need my sleep an all ..

Come on City, buck the fuck up will ya….!!!!
