[Prestwich_Blue]

We will lose our remaining two away games so need a win in the last home game to make the play-offs.

What's this 'win' you speak of?

Pep should schedule a friendly with our old friends Watford. Give us all a morale boost.

If the case is like recent matches I reckon we would have done well in the first 7 weeks but will fuck it up in the last 3 weeks

Based on last 15 mins of today we’d plead guilty to the charges

We nearly gifted them an unlikely draw in the early Carbao Cup game. Maybe Burton Albion (although we may transpire to make a real Pig's Ear out of that)

Anyone else still on the side that we still turn this round and push for the title? Optimism.

I want what ur having

Which players embarrassed themselves?

Not seen it on the telly, But Gvardiol was truly awful for the first two goals

After the first goal goes in the team have to simply manage the game - 11 behind the ball, low
Risk, and time waste and see the game out - like we see the oppositon attempt week in and week out. Given the recent run not one person would criticise seeing that game out - not doing that was criminal

If you are deeply religious or spiritual and believe there is someone living in the clouds say a few prayers to that Sky Fairy for that to happen will you?

Just don't understand how anybody is blaming Pep for making subs at 3-0 up. We know the situation with the squad and all the injuries we have. There's no excusing the goals we conceded.

Pep certainly has things to answer for but he’d have been crucified if we get hammered by the dippers using players even more shagged out than they are now. If you can’t rest anyone when you’re 3-0 up against the Dog & Duck, 20 minutes to play and have a dressing room full of sick notes, when can you?

Criticise other stuff by all means but at least there was a logic:

- Gundo off: age has taken its toll and he’s playing far more minutes than he should.

- KDB on: patently not match fit so it was an opportunity to ease him back.

- Phil off: been looking a bit jaded this season and some suspect poorly.

- Nathan off. Only just back from injury and he’s needed for the dipper game.

- McAtee on: a rare chance to give him some minutes.

Some people want it every fcukin way but hindsight’s all too easy when pontificating on a forum. We don’t have that luxury in real life.

Well looking ahead to Sunday, assuming the people in training are ready to go, is this the lineup?:

Ederson
Lewis Dias Akanji Ake
Gundogan
Foden Debruyne
Savinho Grealish
Haaland

Play a straight back 4. Take some early pressure and counter.
