If the rot continues what happens ?

[decmancity]

I know, just can’t see us fixing 7-8 positions in two windows.

Would be useful if we had a few younger players ready to step in. The likes of Lavia, Palmer and Harwood Bellis spring to mind. I get there’s an argument that they wouldn’t have developed without first team football and we got decent money but still.

McAtee, O'Reilly and Wright all sat there and like Lavia, Palmer and Harwood-Bellis they will shortly leave because Pep will keep flogging the "experience" instead

Serious question.

1 win in 10 is ‘relegation form’

If the rot continues, we’ll have a bad season. That’s all. Not the end of the world.

Two bad seasons under Pep isn’t at all bad (the first and this one, if that’s what happens). If we go on to have 7 seasons after this one, even half as good as we’ve had in the previous 7, then we’re in for a great time ahead.

I highly doubt this will carry on next season, so we grit our teeth, tough it out and get behind the manager and the team. Anyone not getting behind them is a ****. Don’t care who that upsets. These moaning fuckers are happy to celebrate when we’re good but can’t get behind them when they’re bad, that’s the opposite of a supporter.

Steady the ship once a few players come back and go again next year after a few new signings, can't win it all every season

Summed up perfectly in 1 sentence.

It's not going to continue like this. We'll either spend about 250 million in January and sort it out or we've fucked the 115 and we're going down to the conference. Either way we'll win a lot more games next season!

They aren't anywhere near the potential of the 3 leavers.

 

[Matt Diablo]

So he’s just signed a new contract and after seven games of not winning he’s going to quit?

He doesn't sound a happy man mate. He's only human at end of the day

You’re not wrong, how much worse can we be if we give 1/2 of them the odd game here and there.

 

[Bluewonder]

Totally disagree. Pep could play Simpson Pusey or Wilson Esbrand. Immediately this means we don’t have to start tweedle Dee and tweedle dumb (walker and Lewis). And Pep could play Nunes, Wright or O’Reilly in midfield. Maybe in a double pivot. At least it would give us legs and I refuse to believe any of those could be worse than Gundogan.

Realistically, I'd imagine all could be far worse than Walker, Lewis and Gundo.

Though I do agree with giving either Wright or O'Reilly a go alongside one of the senior players.

In my humble opinon,it all started with the tottenham carbao,he knew,like we all did,we were'nt going balls deep in that competition,he played a pretty strong team when there was no need, we lost anyhow and picked up a few more injuries,could have lost and played youth,but he didn't.
How the fuck when you're on an awful run and winning 3-0 at home with 15 minutes left,and you get a draw, just shut the fucking shop up,just frustrate them,like most teams come to ours and frustrate us over recent years.
I don't know whats happening,its bizarre, haaland scores that half chance last night and after the 1 on 1 and we're 2-0 up and cruising.

If our rivals lost their best player for season (Liverpool: Salah, Chelsea: Palmer, Arsenal: Saliba) we would see them struggle in a very big way. Now add to this a chuck of injuries to key players and watch their form also fall off a cliff. The key is to keep calm, the current troubles will pass and we the season isn't even half over, nor is the CL.
