Very odd behaviour from him tonight.
Sitting there with his head in his hands at 3-1. That’s not normal.
I'm beginning to wonder if we can finish top 24.We basically threw a game against Spurs in Carabao to have less games and will now probably end up having 2 more games as I'm doubting we can finish in top 8
Not to mention Stones as well.We miss Dias so terribly, we’ve conceded 15 goals since he got injured. He’s the only out and out defender we have. He’s also really committed and a leader, we are sorely lacking leadership at the moment.
We need to rest Lewis, Gvardiol if we can. Walker is done and needs to go as soon as possible.
Our back four needs to be Akanji, Stones, Diaa and Ake as soon as they’re all fit. We need defenders.
Our midfield is a shambles Gundogan should be closing out matches instead we’re asking him to run our midfield. Silva offers very little in midfield or wide. Foden is off form. Nunes is a perfect microcosm of our issues right now, great when we’re playing well, offers nothing defensively and seems to lack real conviction. No idea if we’re ever going to see KDB really shine for us again. We’ve bought poorly in midfield and need to get it right in January or who knows how bad it will get.
We desperately need to dig out some results until January so our season doesn’t unravel completely.
That's true but what do we need to do now.Have we fuck.
The team has come to the end of it's cycle, it's really not that hard to fathom.
The slagging off and the vitriol some posters show towards the team after the joy they've give us these past years is laughable.
Did you make the same comment when we were 3-0 up ? Did you fuck.Pep cannot or will not change the system unfortunately
Gone from the strongest squad/bench to one of the weakest overnightWe can’t afford to take two summers. Need to buy like Chelsea in the next two transfer windows.
We don’t have enough players, and too many that are old, fucked or just stale here and need moving on.
I was in a cosy armchair with a lovely log burning stove and a very nice glass of wine and I can tell you it wasn’t ok. In fact it was fucking wank. From personal errors to systemic failures it was truly horrible.Well that was utter fucking shite wasn't it. Feyenoord we pretty poor but it took a dodgy penalty and a deflection to get us ahead. Then we managed a well worked goal and proceeded to collapse like a house of cards. And it was bloody cold during the second half.
I await some happy-clappie who watched from his cosy armchair telling me it was OK.
Im fully aware that very poor player recruitment over 3/4 windows and pushing 6/10 players into regular starting positions has made us no good. I dont think we are good, im under no illusionsGive us a kiss duckie you`re one of these fans who can`t accept that we`re at times not as good as we think we are.
What if substitutions disrupted rhythm, allowed space in our final third which led to a better press from Feyenoord and caused silly mistakes to get them back into the game? If we over analyse it we lose sight of the control we had of that game up to 75 mins when there were no big issues at all with our play.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.
I said much the same on the way home.The game at home against Southampton was where I saw the writing on the wall, absolutely pathetic display that foretold what was to come.
He was so so late, the lad was already gone and he flew past doing his Superman impressionShould’ve stayed on his line like a grown up goalkeeper would.
Made a right **** of himself there.
I’m worried he’ll do something rash, like walk away if we don’t pick up in the next 6 gamesSo you're saying Pep out??
I'm not turning on the manager - instead I'm looking to him to lead, motivate, reshape the team in the last 10 minutes and alter the tactics to secure the win - not look like he's ready to jump off the nearest railway bridge.I would look at the last 6 out of 7 years rather than a minute during a game.
It's a bad patch. And turning on the manager during it is ridiculous.
Sat deeper and countered. Unfortunately not how Pep wants the game to be played.We should of just put 11 behind the ball on 75 minutes, seems to work for most teams
But he's superb at running between the lines. Must mean the touchlinesHe won’t be playing again that’s for sure. He will be off in Jan. not good enough for us.
It's ok mate..Only one person telling the world they dont understand football and its … YOU
And yet how many Blue Mooners on here keep blaming Rico ?He keeps losing the ball.
So does Gundo.
When the legs are gone you find you don’t have the time you used to have. Getting caught in possession, diddering about, not making a decision.
Poor decision making has us repeatedly cheaply losing possession. One ball through usually opens up and panics our defence.
Akanji and Gvardiol, to my mind, are not natural defenders. Gvardiol is decent going forward but that’s it.
I would regard Ake as the most naturally defensively minded player we have available and he doesn’t seem to be 100% fit.
