[I'm Blue]

The firing squad?

Made me chuckle that, much needed : )

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Because Pep is a genius and the quality of players brought in before 2020 saw us through.

Name the top quality players we have signed since the summer of 2020 from this list.

Torres
Ake
Dias
Carson
Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland
Ortega
Phillips
Gomez
Akanji
Kovacic
Gvardiol
Doku
Nunes
Savinho
Gundogan

Other than Haaland (a release clause) and Dias. Where is the top quality? We've signed mostly decent squad players

Top quality players from this list:
Ake
Dias
Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland
Akanji
Gvardiol
Gundogan

Savinho and Doku too early to tell, they have potential for top quality for sure.

Torres been great business. So been Kovacic and Gundogan return.

In short - you have made one of the worst substantively posts ever. Congratulations

You could always put Camel Gob on mute, Not like anyone can lip read the tosser.

Apologies, I'm a bit sensitive after that shit show! :)

Aren't we all, fingers crossed for Sunday

 

[franksinatra]

Ffs.. I could have written peps post match interview for him

Same shit different game

He’s proud of that shite !!!??!!

He is not going to undermine the team, struggling with confidence, for the benefit of the TV viewers.

What needs saying will be said in the dressing room.

He wants us to play a certain way, rightly or wrongly and there were elements of that we were good at tonight, but failed miserably on others.

 

[Twisted-wheel]

It’s difficult when you keep saying silly things. I’ll endeavour not to bite next time. It’s clear you are passionate.

Could do with you in our line up at least you backtrack quicker

Nothing really silly about it. Got to remain positive. I do mix it with humour too.

 

[argyle]

You make some very good points

However we are one win in 10 and I would like to see a manager of this quality perhaps look to improve on that

Most goals conceded by us are through the same things and that concerns me

Those are fair enough points.

Much better than some going through every player and saying they're crap.

 

[lunebleu]

The fact that no one knows what they're doing out there without the ball, and any competent side can play through us and get at our defense with one or two passes. That's on him and the tactics, not the quality of our players. Or that he continues to play Walker when he hasn't performed well in two years. Still playing Gundo as a DCM. Not making subs until the match is over. Refusing to ever take Haaland out/not giving McAtee an opportunity.

Should I go on?

No thanks

Ignore the throbber.

that’s what the mrs is constantly telling me.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

A top 4 place is looking miles away too

I hate saying it and City is in my blood matey

That's my thinking too.
It looks like the older players can't do it for 90 minutes, too many injuries and none of the youngsters stepping in.

Quality

 

[ysmsa]

Yeah but then walker brain farts and decides not to go to it. A player with his pace gets to that easily. Invited the cross in. There’s nothing upstairs with him.

Our captain ffs.

Do you think he could have made that ball?

He only seems to make sure he holds his position at the moment instead of taking a risk and dealing with something.

Confidence looks shot to pieces.

 

[Beanhead]

Few need to get a grip we've had success beyond my wildest dreams, now we're struggling just occasionally you have to accept losing, this team will be be back hopefully starting Sunday.

Agree.. but Rico fucking Lewis…

You really bothered to type that?

 

[Segga]

More nonsense from Pep at full time.
That is the worse Juve team I’ve ever seen.
I feel like the club are Gaslighting me at the minute, I’m sure the club have a plan but it feels like we’re just coasting at the minute and hiding behind injuries.
Mcatee, O Reilly & Wright might aswel plan there moves away because if they can’t get minutes now they never will.
Shite planning for 18 months has caught up with us.

 

[levets]

Not going to bother about the performance because it's just the same old shite, question is will we even qualify to the next round ? could the unthinkable happen and Pep is in the Europa League ?

There is NO drop into the Europa any more. If we don’t achieve the play offs, we’re out out!

 

[Lavinda Past]

Good news is we are 5th favourite for the Champions League at 7/1

So if I put a tenner on us to win it, I'll only lose a tenner...?

 

[argyle]

I don't think people are turning on them, they're just pissed off with the current form. Putting injuries to one side, why wasn't the drop off forecasted in the summer if it was so obviously going to happen. Can't recall many predicting it tbh.

There have been plenty turning on the team and certain players. Some even questioning if Pep should stay here.

I think because we were playing so well with most players available.

Injuries have screwed us this season. Those that would normally be rested haven't been able to.

 

[dom]

Easy. We are during shit period, but that combines with been unlucky in most of games. Juve away is tough opponent. We gonna get better this season.

Source of our problems is Rodri, we allow too many counter attacks, we lack this additional defensive power and press ressistance. And then Kovacic is out. And Stones is out. Akanji is in and out and Walker is out of form. We have problems mostly at the back, its obvious and it influences overall confidence of whole team.

Im not gonna slandering people within the club, even if we struggle for top4 or something. Certainly not after great success and records this group brought multiple times.

Ok but WHY is our injury list so long season after season???

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

This is a solid list. What recruitment do you want? Running a circus with all stars?

Something like this

2016 - Gundogan, Sane, Stones
2017 - Bernardo, Ederson, Walker, Laporte
2018 - Mahrez
2019 - Rodri
2020 - Dias

No you're right. Signing a top quality player every summer is 'Running a circus with all stars'

He won’t hang the players in public.
