I agree and tbh we played Chelsea at the right time. The clappers never saw it or didn't want to see it coming.

My concern is Pep, he has no history of this kind of challenge. He seems to be as inept as the players during this period.

I think there’s a slim chance he turns it round any time soon. He’s a genius and I’ve got no managerial experience at all, but how much worst would Jacob Wright and Mcatee be doing? 60 minutes gone tonight and I would have said come on lads, give us life. We’ve got nothing left.

You can't be concerned about Pep. He knows the issues but he also knows the season is long, the players have delivered so much up to now, and that there's no need to panic.

He has consistently talked about being better with the ball because when we lose it we cannot cope. Yet again their goals came from giving it away and leaving us exposed. We aren't patient in our build up, and when we lose it we don't have the shape.

He either needs to change things to give us better shape and accept we will lose the ball, or try and change players so we stop losing it. The trouble is we aren't stacked for options at the moment. It's now, more than ever, Pep wants us to pass teams to death. But that's not what is happening on the pitch.

the problem is ake stones akanji kova and rodders are out so we are struggling to cope with counters.also we arnt taking our chances when they come,yes things are bad but i think when (if) we get most of them back we will see a big improvement.titles gone i suspect but dont throw the towel in just yet

We are fucked then aren't we because Rodri isn't back for 6 months and Stones and Ake can barely manage 3 games on the bounce without being out for 6 weeks

Nunes has to play in midfield from now on. Not great but he offers more than Lewis & Gundy. Lewis, Gundy & Bernie can not continue in midfield unless we are playing the local care home

Fuck Nunes- he’s shown he’s not good enough and doesn’t have the bottle. Play Mcatee FFS !

It’s an insult to Mcatees career to tell him to stay and then refuse to give him any minutes in this appalling side.

what he did do was indirectly call out the problem - he mentioned a lack of two defensive midfielders, and 3 missing centre backs......he knows Lewid and Gundo dont work - he knows he wants his 4 centre halvess back at the back (dropping walker for either Stones or akanji)

Unfortunately none of this can happen......

Rodri done for the season
Kova - nearly mtach fit but a short term solution

Akanji - hopefully fit soon to play at right back dropping walker

Ake back to left back and stones/Gvardiol n the centre.

Peps comments shows to me that he knows this team has not future with some of the players that are playing now....

The issue is has he realised that some of the players he wants back are also a problem due to their consistent injuries (noteably Stones and Ake)

This is why Ive said the problem is bigger than this season

we need a gundo and KDB replacement as well
