Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Pep cannot or will not change the system unfortunately

I think he needs to change it, at least at certain times in games, but do understand why he’d choose not to and let’s be honest, he’s far more equipped to make that decision than any of us.

 

[blue by birth]

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

Eddie made a fuck up tonight but calling him a clown of a keeper is bollocks...
All keepers make mistakes but Eddie has earned enough credit not to be called a fucking clown

That result doesn’t even really matter anyway. Finish in the Top24 and you go through to the KO preliminary round. The format rewards shitness. I’d rather finish 25th this season, go out and concentrate on finishing 4th in the PL so we’re in the CL for any new signings next Summer. Whether we get in the 24 or even sneak the 8, we aren’t winning the CL this season.

And progressing in the champions league.
PSG, Juventus and Brugge coming up

Followed by 2 play-off games if we are lucky enough to finish in the top 24.

Get to January then SPEND SOME FUCKING MONEY.

On what? Much surgery needed. CB needed (Stones can't play 2 games together) . RB needed. Midfielder needed. Striker needed!

That's 2 summers worth!!!!!

I think Pep may be regretting signing that contract now, won't be surprised if he goes.

Rico what are you doing son?

Rico?

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

That would be daft. Playing at FB is more physically demanding than at CB. Ake can't play a whole game vs an average team at CB, you want him at LB. Or you mean Lewis.

Again, Gvardiol is not the problem, it's the injury prone defenders. You can carry one, but 2 or 3 is getting a bit too much.

Absolutely pathetic and ANOTHER example of a couple of quick goals leading to a total collapse. Real, Lyon, Liverpool, Monaco, Sporting, Feyenoord have all shown what to do. Brighton, Bournemouth and Spurs now as well.
The teams picking us off aren't top class, they just play with pace. We've been found out and no player is prepared to stand up as a Captain and rally the players.

I just don't see our defence working well enough to stop any team at the minute. Quite simply, it's rubbish. The structure of the team is well off and it's every player who looks well below their best.

I don't know what we have to do against Liverpool but we can't defend, don't create clear chances and Haalands off form. Our passing is slow, dull and predictable and just ineffective.

Pep needs to roast the fucking lot of them in that dressing room. We need BIG changes.

We were in control for 70 mins. Very good overall performance. They didn't get much joy until after the subs and then the silly mistakes. If he starts the same team at Anfield as he did tonight we can get something there.

 

[MMA]

Individual mistakes from players already on the pitch contributed to the goals, not the subs.

I know that mate but as a whole 11 it's a different 11 that ended the game..

That starting 11 wins the game 3 nil for me.

Pep never makes subs when we are losing so don't do it now when we need to get a win under our belts.
