Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Twisted-wheel]

Pep has to take some blame regarding game management, made the right call with subs due too Sundays game however we still have our defence to high up sat on the half way line, it’s cocky and arrogant because we know that long ball over the top and we have clown of a keeper that never made it has a left winger will coming rushing out like rennie higuita and try a scorpion kick, what a tool

 

[Bluewars II]

Seen what Tarquins did to the team we lost to?

I seen it, they played their first full 11, we had youngsters making their debuts.

We're only a few tweaks(Rico being dropped, Gvardiol replaced with Ake, Ortega in for Eddy, Dias Back and stones/akanji in midfield) from being a solid team again.

The glaring weaknesses are the two crowd favourites in defence who struggle to stay fit. Due to their injuries, Gvardiol, Akanji and Dias have been overplayed, Lewis probably too.

Even the best defenders start making mistakes when they are being overplayed.

Not this many! That one today was just ridiculous. I’d drop him for this week as he needs a rocket up his arse.

The season is a battle for the top 4 now,

Pep cannot or will not change the system unfortunately

 

[Brewster's millions]

Well up to 75 mins there was plenty of fight. Some of our best football this season but they just crumbled after 75 mins. A couple of silly mistakes cost us and Pep holding his head in his hands at 3-1 doesn't help. He seemed to sarcastically cheer when they scored their second which was even more bizarre

I’d actually forgotten about his sarcastic clapping after the second.

The problems are there for all to see and the way we’re playing, to me, suggests that there are major issues somewhere. It’s gone beyond anything relating to injuries or a loss of confidence now.

Get to January then SPEND SOME FUCKING MONEY.

 

[Mr. Shush]

If he can't make subs: with fifteen or so minutes left to play; when we're 3-0 up and coasting; when De Bruyne needs minutes in his legs with a big game coming up at the weekend; when Gundogan at his age was never brought back with the intention of him playing full ninety-minute games, especially not with the big game I just referred to coming up at the weekend and no-one to play in his position, because Kova's injured…
well, if he can't make subs in all those conditions, then he simply no longer has a squad.

Totally agree. You're right. And if you're Gundogan you're telling yourself, "what have i got myself into? I'm playing every game!" But the game turned when the subs were made. If there was ever a game that DeBruyne needed to play at least 70 minutes to get his fitness back - it was this one! You don't "save" him for 70 minutes against Liverpool to "tune him up". And McAtee for Ake was costly. McAtee wasn't even in the same area code for the 3rd goal. Lewis and Pusey were back and Bernardo comes charging in late. Then you see McAtee in frame 2 seconds later.

Rico what are you doing son?

Sorry! This lad is not good enough,! Seems to have no awareness when defending! Maybe being hard on him as he is not a defender!

 

[argyle]

Don't let anybody tell me this is a blip.
This is no blip.

That was absolute, total wank.

Did we lose?
