A top team doesnt carry passengers......

We are stupid to try and keep hold of him.....he is done

Fair enough mate

 

[Semper aggressus]

It’s a fair question to ask how many defeats can a gaffer take before the sack gets mentioned.

I agree with you that he has so much credit in the bank that it shouldn’t happen. He does need to change things up though. Football and fashions change and the very best keep up. I think pep can do it

Even if we lost every game for the rest of this season Pep’s job should be guaranteed. He can only work with what is available. Most of our best players are out injured, those remaining are overplayed or too old or just not good enough.

This is all down to shitting the bed in the transfer market. We need to act like billy big bollocks and fucking buy our way back. We can afford it. We can’t afford not to.

Not outbidding Arses for Rice was shit. Not replacing Alvarez was shit. Letting Palmer go without a better replacement was shit. We were complacent and arrogant and it’s bitten us on the arse.

Time to grow a pair and back Pep properly. Break some fucking transfer records, pay agents whatever it takes. Fuck the rag cartel off and show the world we mean business. Not 34 year old free transfers or players from mid table teams or some average nobodies.

Sign some fucking headline makers.

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

Do you have faith the club can deliver that in Jan?

We haven't been able to sign a top quality player since Haaland.

We will offer half of what Newcastle want for Guimares, piss about and sign someone like fucking Lemina on deadline day

 

[RayCTID]

then as ive said...he is done and we need to stop relying on him

a team looking for the top cannt afford passengers or sentiment.....and this is what is driving the narrative around KDB at the moment.

Legend yes
Best midfielder to play in the prem - posssibly yes (id argue David Silva would be up there)

But time to move on...we wait another seasons its the mistake akin to bringing Gundo back or giving Walker another season......

We can't cut away too many seniors at once. It is a balancing act. The defence didn't cover themselves in glory in preventing their goals either. We weren't brilliant but couldn'tm convert our dominance into goals

 

[simon23]

He'd be fine if he played in a midfield with other players that could run

A top team doesnt carry players - that is the start of failure

 

[SamBlue]

I miss Riyad

Those days when he single-handedly took PSG on just to prove the point. And to think some people here referred to him as FFS...ffs!.

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?

We've always had a smallish squad. It was a concern but Pep made a fool of me for years. But we look old and leggy all of a sudden. Ederson, Walker, Stones, Gundo, Grealish, Nunes, Savinho and i hate to say it but KDB also at this stage, all probably lucky to be here at this point. Silva might need to move on also. We've had a couple of poor transfer windows, right at the point some players have got old/become injury prone/lost form/not good enough.

 

[Gordyola]

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

His three subs v Feyenoord were a disaster and has put us into a very difficult UCL position

 

[levets]

I liked him when he was here. Underrated.

Me too mate

 

[Citycity76]

I hope the players refund the fans that turned up tonight.

on another side note that look Gundo gave Walker tells me something is not right.
