Another record for Pep today...

 

[Delphinho]

Thought he played well

That`s what I meant, we could have scored 6 or 7 if he wasn`t playing

 

[chaddblue]

Think it was just too easy and we took out foot off the gas

As much of a stroll as you'll ever get in the PL

 

[Withnail]

Very comfortable win and another clean sheet. Would like to have seen Pep use the subs, especially in the second half with some of the players looking tired.

Excellent first half show, second half totally dominant but very wasteful in front of goal.

Mahrez shined again, let's hope he continues this form next week against the Rags.

 

[bluwes]

Good win. We missed a few and found their keeper in good form. No boobs from Areola.
Only 4 points cover the top 5 or 6 as it stands, proving early gloom was premature.
Keep it going.

I see what you did there..:):):)

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I'll take that.

I didn't have you down as a take that fan dot man; )

I dont see the argument for making subs. KDB will have played 180 minutes in the last 5 games going into the Derby. He doesn't need more rest.

He is currently being rested entirely every other game.

Because their mayor worked with the government got the £aid and reduced their level of infection whereas our Scouse mayor played the hard line socialist and didn’t work with the government and Manchester remain in tier 3

You mean this mayor?

 

[Mike N]

Happy with that.

You'd be correct BMR, I'm not.

Although, I do think having a little patience is always advisable.

;-)

 

[Blue Til Death]

I get this modern cruising in a game and conserving energy but it’s a load of bollocks as far as I’m concerned, make some subs and destroy the team in front of you, it bolsters your goal difference and it puts the shits up your next opponents.. We over think shit too much at times for the sake of it ..

 

[hgblue]

Was Pep asked about not using any subs?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We had patience for donkeys years pal. Nowadays if we're not 3-0 up within half hour, the match day natives start to get restless. I like to gently tease a few newbies, old posters won't jump in my keepnet so easily, unfortunately; )

 

[Bill the Blue]

Can see how Fulham best Leicester last week.

Big, strong, athletic side who came to play a bit of football..

We played well and saw the game out..

Not yet firing on all cylinders but the signs are there that we will be in the mix when the important stuff gets handed out at the business end of the season..

 

[The perfect fumble]

Fulham on my mind.....

I did n't say Kev needed resting. Considering we were in complete control of the game and Rodri has played in virtually every game this season, I think Pep could have used Gundo in the dm role and brought Foden on.

Rodri got 45 mins rest vs. Burnley and won't play Marseilles.

Pep is doing a perfect job of rotating the squad and keeping minutes down.

It seems like the supposed frustration with substitutes is actually just people wanting Foden to play every game.

 

[HamannCheese]

Think Stones, Mendy and Mahrez played well today. More of that please.

Bit concerned about Sterling still not taking his chances (besides his excellent finish) and even more concerned about Jesus who was missing for much of the game today.

 

[sir baconface]

Because Pep will want to play all the players that didn’t come on today midweek with a group of EDS players. What’s the point in putting pointless minutes into the legs of Bernardo, Foden etc when they’re going to get a full game midweek?

To kid them that they’re worth more than token appearances in dead rubbers?
