When was the last time you saw our players put in a challenge in the press, teams are being allowed to carry the ball and have time on the ball to pick a pass, Nobody wants to put in a tackle or rush the keeper.

Pep is the greatest manager in the world, BUT for the last 6 games he's let the players do whatever they like without fear of being dropped or subbed, If the players are not giving you 100% then play the kids and show who is the boss.

We won't lose 5 or 6 to Liverpool, slot isn't that type of manager if they go 2/3 nil up he will sub Salah , trent etc off

With our defence and keeper they would only need 9 or 10 on target to score 6

Still feel strangely calm about it all. We’re clearly incredibly fragile right now but at the same time doing the good things well for long periods of the game too.

Now’s the time to have it, just got to hope it turns round soon.

Eddy is not the GK you need right now when our defence is so fragile, every single shot goes past him, all well and good when we dominate teams and he can chip in with the odd fancy Dan pass but we need a shot stopper at this moment, even better play him and ortega in the net

Pep did say before if the players are not trying/listening to him he will leave. Fucking hope not

Honestly, for those people not thinking we were in crisis - we are. ok?

3 goals on us in 15 minutes. Its inexcusable. Though he had a bad game against Spurs, I thought Gundo did better. But he got subbed out which I found curious. And for DeBruyne no less. Game turned from there. Gvardiol unlikely to see the pitch in the next game. If everyone is finally healthy, it should be Lewis-Dias-Akanji-Ake as a back line.

Likely not our year. I'll say it once, I'll say it twice - teams know how to play us. Pep will not adapt style of play - which is possession. League has turned more uptempo. Sit back, absorb pressure, and counter. I thought we played that well in the first half. We were moving around trying to get the ball back. But that disappeared in the second. Either because of old legs or I don't know.

Against a mediocre team..

Could do with rodders doing the team talk at the weekend.

The players left on the pitch have completely let Guardiola down tonight I’m afraid to say.

That is an utter disgrace what we have witnessed.

Hideous.

All on pep

It’s not.
Pep didn’t stop them playing.
Pep didn’t make them make mistakes.
Pep didn’t make them stop trying.
Pep didn’t make them mentally weak.
Funnily enough as soon as their third hit the back of the net they all started running around like mad men.
Pressing, finding space and running.
Yes Pep made subs but there’s enough quality in that team (well there was) not to throw away a 3 goal lead.

Our next 6 games are horrible. Starting with Liverpool and ending with Utd. I’ve been very calm about all the losses, but this now feels absolutely foundational. It’s a real rot and I don’t know how you fix it
