I miss Riyad

He won 4 leagues in a row and a treble. To me, short of relegating us he’s unsackable

He's made mistakes (hate the way he hangs around to make subs) but there is literally no manager on earth I'd rather have in charge for getting us through this crisis — if it is a crisis (and by recent standards, of course, which we set and nobody else could live with, I suppose it is). If he doesn't get us through it this season, he'll be back, and the team will be back and through it (with two or three judicious recruitments) next season.

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

It's probably not the right time to mention acl injuries are often known as 2 year injuries.

Has Pep now regretted extending his contract and now praying for the sack because if he wasn’t Pep that’s what would be happening ?
Just a thought.

Stop thinking

We could easily have been three down against Brentford before we scored.

Actually since the FA cup final we’ve been poor.

Whisper it, but we’ve been in decline since winning the treble.
Getting over the line to win a fourth title in a row was a phenomenal achievement. But there was an obvious drop off in the quality of our performances last season, and it’s continued this.

The thing for me is that these are not bad defenders at all and have been decent in the last 12 months.

However, in the last 2 months both players look like 12 year olds making basic mistakes and having no idea how to defend. I genuinely cannot believe that both players - and Lewis as well - have suddenly become dreadful, it's a tactics thing.

Rodri is out for the season and is irreplaceable. We have to try other formations to get the defence working again like playing a 4-6-0 again and getting some energy in the middle.

This all stems from a tiny active core of players in the squad and a monumental run of injuries.

He's either brilliant or poor. He didn't have much to do tonight and didn't do anything to suggest he should be in goal for the Derby. He needs to remember that every keeper in the league now plays with their feet and they can save shots as well.

He's always been better at the pass out than the shots stopping

we are at the moment mate we cant deny it but if we get two good signings in jan it could turn things round

It's only the last 2 months that the recruitment seems bad.

Was anyone really questioning the club during 4 titles wins in a row?

Who would when the team's achieving that?

The subs were hilarious, Savio and Nunes are shite.

Doku was the only dangerous player we had.

I'm pretty sure Pep plans his subs at the beginning of the month for all the upcoming games. They rarely make any sense or have any impact. We could be 3 up or 3 down and they feel like they would be the same
