This is the result of signing average, mediocre players in recent years. Players with no real spark or standout quality. We believed KDB would stay at the top forever and didn’t plan ahead. The truth is, we’ve always been a team that revolved around one player: first in the David Silva era, then during KDBs prime. We hit the jackpot with those, but now it’s risky, and there’s no guarantee we’ll get it right again. Come summer, we’ll need to spend at least 400 million, no question. The problem is, real quality is so rare these days, most players are just workhorses now.

It's not an excuseSure, sounds like an excuse, you would not tell the first team until the last second before it was public.
We have too many defensive injuries.

We looked good at times but we have become such an easy win for the opposition at the moment.
Everyone can see that we're getting caught on the break and conceding the same goal every fucking week!
Even the commentators are stunned.
If Pep doesn't trust the kids then we desperately need both right and left fullbacks, a DM and a striker in January.

Alright is not good enough in this side sadly.Looks alright as a number 8/10 to me. We giving up on everyone?
Did we have 100m midfielders and the worlds best CF then??We have a lot of sunshine fans on here. I'd love to see how they'd have coped with the late 1990s. Getting dicked 4-0 at home by Wimbledon, for example. Stockport coming to Maine Road, and Tony Dinning giving it the big 'un in front of the North Stand. I seriously doubt they were around back then, though.

dont agree mate,there should be no need for a rebuild,we went wrong not intergrating the right players to the squad over the last 4 years and not buying players that would hit the ground running to replace the likes of Alvarez, 70/80 million for him and not a relacement in sightThe rebuild should have started last season

Exactly ffs !!I dont think Mcatee or Oreilly can do any worse
Give the fucking kids a go instead of rolling out the same players week in week out and watching them underperform.

Honestly? Slightly surprised at the vitriol over that performance.
Juventus are a decent side, not a great one. Their keeper made saves, ours threw one in the net. Simple as that.
Was it a good performance?
Fuck. No.
But it was better than Palace for my money. Better end product from Kev, Doku, Haaland and we come away with something.
We were never getting top 8 and we don't deserve to. A win against Brugge will send us through and from there, it's knockout football. A total lottery.

Yes but first goal Walker goes to close down then stops- basicsDoku - pointed at a player he should have closed down before the first goal. That kind of shit is unforgivable.
Dias - looked good then fucked up for the 2nd.
The rest I agree with.
That was worrying,
Grealish and Doku were saved for tonight and they were completely ineffective.
Walker, been his biggest fan but on current form he is finished af this level.
De Bruyne still believing he's at his peak and the ball was just running away from him.
Nobody had a good game. Those fucking subs that came on better not start Sunday, as bad as we were they were fucking terrible.
Juventus weren't even good, but we had nobody busting a gut to clear the second ball. Both goals fucking school boy stuff.
There must be a reason we have kept half a dozen players we would normally have let go?
