We just need to worry about ourselves that's all that matters and for me that has been a weakness of the club.
We seemed to have been scared of spending and what the reaction of football thinks of doing that.

This version of Pep maybe, to be honest I haven't got a scooby.
I am just tired of watching the same issues every game and no changes made.
This is new territory for the great man, and so far he is not handling it well at all.
It's 12 games out of a decade of dominance.
12 games is all it took for you to be tired of Pep and questioning him?

When did you move to the Midlands?Oi, don't think I didn't see you calling me a cousin fucker earlier ; )
P.S, I'm 1 1/2 hrs south of cousin fucking territory.

Pep is the ultimate winner but he looks so broken at the moment that's the worry for me and the players seemed to have picked up on that.

I just hope the lad is OK, his mental health matters too even though it's easily forgotten.
100% probably the first time in his life he has experienced something like this, be looks utterly shocked by everything going on around him.I just hope the lad is OK, his mental health matters too even though it's easily forgotten.
How long do you give him, if we go into January without a win , don't questions need to be asked?

Wouldn't it be nice for him to realise we don't care what his current form is after what he has brought us over the years, take the pressure off him.
Maybe a meet and greet with fans so he knows where he stands (Players and manager way too distanced from the real fans and only have the media to gauge feelings off really) you know have a normal conversation with fans who think a lot of him.
How long do we give him? On a personal level I don't care how shit we are because of what we have achieved and I would give him however long it takes for him to get it right again.

Correct. Get some feckin tackles in,get up close and leave you opponent on his arse if necessary.I long for another Ferni!!A thing of note that was obvious to me against the scum and Villa, 2nd half especially. Our collective press has all but disappeared, but more so the players are standing 3 to 4 yds off the opponent when they're in possession. It's giving them time and space to pass with relative ease.
It's a great test for Pep, tactically, psychologically and intellectually. I'm reading World War 1 stuff at the moment and the similarities to the military leaders is striking. The invention and improvements of the machine gun changed battle tactics forever. You could no longer use your highly trained motivated army to just charge at the opposition and let your superior soldiers prevail. They just got shot down and slaughtered. So the war settled down into a defensive stalemate interspersed with military leaders losing their heads and sending their men to face the machine gun bullets. The bullets always won. Pep needs to evolve and discover new tactics (tanks, aeroplanes, nuclear bombs) to counter the machine gun.

I would love for him to change it up but this is pep we are talking about here. Probably one of the greatest minds to study the game.This is exactly what the Tarquins fans said in the final years of Wenger.
Not a criticism of you mate, just an observation.
Pep has tweaked the formula over the years a lot more than Wenger ever did, so hopefully that’s where the similarities end!
You got to trust him through the bad.
If we end up going down the Wenger road then so be it. We will never have a manger like him again and i think we all need to remember that. Plenty of times in the near future we will be calling for a managers head but not this one.
