As expected with a team who cannot defend, have the worst midfield in the PL and have players incapable of scoring or creating up front with even worse options on the bench.
Would be no surprise if we do not even make the play off places.
Rags pace will kill us on the weekend.

We buy Doku ,Grealish and savinho and they score 3 goals a season between them ,impossible to keep winning titles if you only hope Haaland scores 60 a season every year.
 
If we win the last home game then only 2 teams outside the qualifying places can finish above us - PSG and Stuttgart.

Looking at that table you’d have to image 11 points would be enough - but 12 (win and a draw) would make it a smoother experience…

Problem isn't just defence and midfield it's also the attack if Haaland doesn't score we have no threat from the wings.

Kovacic has more goals than all our wingers combined.
 
I was a basketball coach for many years and one of the things we practiced every session was the fast break. It was the best way to beat a packed defence - get the ball down the court before the defence can set. Football is no different. We tend to take to long to get the ball up the field on any breakdown. Always the slow build up and square ball.

They were better in every area; more clinical, faster, better defensively.

I don't think anyone could have foreseen the drop off being this bad from some of the players.

We didn't need to foresee that far, we have had 1 win in 9 prior to this game and were lucky in a few games prior to that run starting. Expecting more from these players is fucking absurd at this point, but roll on United and let's hope it clicks.
 
It needs to be drilled into this team that they are still a big scalp. Every single game we play the opposition will treat like a final. There is no room for any complacency whatsoever.
 
The sad thing is that over 90 minutes we didn't play that badly, it's just we are so easy to pick off on a counter it's unreal. The 2nd goal they got would be embarrassing on a Sunday morning - the defence was as wide as the pitch, no midfield, no one tracking back, no one in the middle. I don't expect Ederson to save much and he didn't let me down.

This team are not full of bad players - they just don't have a clue what to do. They've forgotten how to defend in 10 weeks. We had so little attacking threat, bar the Haaland chance, it's untrue. And yet our defence is appalling. Literally any attack, any pace and you've a pretty good chance of getting 2 or 3 solid chances with us. I am coming to the conclusion that there's no point playing Haaland at the minute as we play with 10 when he doesn't score. He was utterly anonymous tonight, again.

I am dreading the Derby as they have pace and play on the counter. Unless we sit deeper and play more than Gundogan in midfield then we will be beat, it's as simple as that and the only question is how many they will get.

Pep needs to have a cold bath tonight and shake it up. Unless he changes something, I genuinely can't see where our next win comes from.

And anyone who says he needs to go, like on the Match Day Forum, is a dick. This man had led us to some of the finest moments I've ever seen in football and he deserves every opportunity to turn it around. AND HE WILL.
 
so open so easy to play through! So fucking angry with this tonight it’s school boy! If we don’t score first I think there’s no way we’re winning anything… I get losing and I get we have to lose and I know we can’t win them all but to not win anything is becoming a joke
