Juventus (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Lavinda Past]

Of course you expect Pep to walk if we lost our next match.

The flapping and over-reaction on here is predictable.

Is 'flapping' your new favourite word?

Pep's fucked up this season being risk averse and sticking with favourites who aren't meeting expectations. He knows it.

It would be beyond embarrassing for him to lose to the rags. It should be unacceptable to every City fan.

At times we are though, as Gundo said, it's when we give the ball away we're seemingly punished every time.

Add to that, we need a someone to score goals. Teams are shutting down Erling and we just lack finishing.

Well Gundo et Al....how about pressing and tackling instead of shuffling backwards giving the attacker thinking time and time for his mates to arrive

But it was always going to catch up. Anyone with a brain could see what would happen with a few injuries, absolutely 0 mitigations in place. We needed a right back, a rodri replacement and a back up striker in the summer, everyone knew that yet we decided not too.

The club couldn't foresee a season ending injury to Rodri nor a bad injury to Bobb.

Coupled with KDB being out of most of the season so far, plus the same for Foden.

We've also been missing most of our defenders.

Look at our attacking options apart from Haaland. No one scores any goals (Haaland apart and he’s drying up relatively speaking)…

Yeah and other top teams get most of their goals from wingers, like Real , Barcelona or Liverpool. We have nothing coming from the wings, 1 goal every 6 games maybe.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

As in zero?

Quite possibly

 

[the blue panther]

Pep is unsackble for this season and we should at least see what happens at end of the Summer transfer window with the new signings and if he can get us firing again. The FA Cup is our only realistic trophy we can win this season.

At the moment, I can't see us getting past Salford.

 

[levets]

I thought he was ok. Laid one on a plate for Erl. He’s the least of our problems at the moment

Neither Kev nor Erling are our main problems.

 

[argyle]

It's not the price you pay for winning 4 on the trot.

We brought Gundogan back this summer because the club are fucking useless in the market. Whether that be penny pinching or their inability to buy any quality player without a release clause.

You can't use injuries especially to Stones and Ake as excuses. They are always injured. In nearly 10 years how many times has Stones played more than 40 games a season?

How can we have won 4 in a row if we are fucking useless in the transfer market?

 

[hilts]

and you and those like you have turned on the team and players after two bad months...

It's not about turning on the team, it's discussing what's happening as it happens. That's what a forum is for.

If things are wrong we can say it, the players know, Pep knows and so do we. It doesn't mean we aren't mightily happy with what we have achieved.

The problem is you think saying the team is currently poor is disloyal. That's your bad. Just open an appreciation thread and leave discussing the actual football to others who aren't as touchy.

Thought we were better side tonight created some decent chances we didn't put away, alas our defending at the moment ain't to good compounded by midfield aging badly.
