Savinho's play is really concerning. Doku struggled a lot in his early days here, but there would be patches where you could see the raw talent. I just don't see anything from Savinho. Hopefully he proves me wrong, but I am not confident he will.

Bambi on ice has better ball retention.

SUMMARY:
- We played great in the first half
- We played shit in the second half
- Matterface, Sutton & Sky wanted us to lose
- I'm sure the Beeb did too
- But we won
- And we're second
- That is all.

Long way to go and we've got Rodri to come back.

 

[Keith Moon]

Great entertainment, that. We switched off at 5–1 and they nicked a couple from the deflection lottery. No more, no less. In the end, a big away win — only Arsenal had won at the Cottage this season, and Fulham had conceded just three at home before tonight.

Kind of the ying to Savinho’s yang

A footballer to a headless chicken

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

This might be our biggest problem and it is becoming unsolvable. He really needs to play in the system when we are off the ball. He doesn't and its a major problem

We have a system?

 

[bellsouth]

Hes absolutely wank, probably had 2 or 3 good seasons and that’s it!

He’s decent but needs to calm down a bit, gets very angry, clear heads needed

 

[Axel Freed]

The fact that we had to fight for our lives when we were 5-1 up is pathetic.
Our fit midfielders bar Nico and Foden are a joke.
Despite scoring, Reijnders was anonymous for majority of the game.
Silva was absolutely lost out there, awful performance from the Captain.
Dias, Gvardiol and NOR were in no man’s land every time there was a ball into our box.
Foden, Doku and Haaland were brilliant.
Savio and Stones had hall of shame cameos. Weak from the pair of them.

Superb comic post

*doffs cap

 

[blue by birth]

Totally agree, keep letting 4 in every week and we're fucked.

Unless we score 5 every week lol

 

[hoppy]

Reminiscent of the Spurs second half performance in THAT Cup game, there was something in the air that had the whiff of capitulation.

 

[Milesvk]

When Fulham got their second, I jokingly said to my lad we are going to hang on here. He looked at me puzzled. Now younger city fans understand us older city fans never relaxing with 4 goal cushions!

Yes, but that goal difference could have been so much better….

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Get ANDERSON now.

I wasn’t convinced before but our midfield is truly awful. Still!

 

[N1985]

He was dreadful, big Donna is concerning as well, not quite the clean sheet merchant I thought he was

With that backline in front of him he's on a hiding to nothing. When faced with actual shot stopping he's been fantastic.

 

[B\connellblue]

Pep has lost his bald mind.

Big, BIG questions need to be asked in the summer. Our players are FRIGHTENED of making any mistake or taking ANY responsibility in case it goes wrong.

You have to ask who has put that fear into them. You have to ask why our second half performances are so poor after spending 15 minutes with him. All the good form and rhythm we had before the international break has gone. It comes back to one man.

The same man who insists on playing Savinho while Marmoush sits on the bench and Grealish bangs goals in for Everton. He can have the season, to see where we are, but this is Wenger 2009 territory for me and the club has to decide.

Massive deflection on that Grealish goal which is to be expected as he always hit the man in front of him when he was here

 

[blubanjo]

A mental game but glad of the 3 points and an away win. 2 points behind Arse and pressure on them now.
Not sure how Pep sorts this one out as its a bloody mess in midfield at the moment. We've no legs at all and teams steam roller us in the second half of games. Fitness levels look miles off to me.

 

[hilts]

Why did Pep watch Bernardo struggle, then bring of Nico. I’m genuinely confused at the decision to bring Nico off.

He's been played a lot personally i think pep and the coaching staff need to come up with a plan for this type of thing. There is no cohesion.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Not sure why Savinho is taking all the flak tbh. The whole team was a mess.

Really? Did you not watch his 30 mins? As bad a cameo as you’ll ever see. Can’t even run with the fucking ball and then practically falls over again when through on goal. He’s a fucking embarrassment.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

Am fuming at that

Awful

Fucking hell Pep what gave you the idea of subbing Nico G? Did you not learn int he Champion League Final? Baffling

Please stop with the standing off tactics and can we control the fucking game please

A quick check of your post history suggests you know nowt about owt except posting negative thoughts.

Nico g got one to the bollocks.
At least he has some, unlike you

 

[lefty goldblatt]

What the fuck was that. I'm a sweaty mess, off for a shower.

Were you watching xhamster?

 

[argyle]

Badly coached, unfit and disorganised and that's being kind! Some of those attempts at blocks and tackles bordered on cowardice! Silva stopping 5 yards away and turning his back, shithouse! We never win 50/50 challenges!

We won.
