The league is the only competition of the four where we can afford to lose a game.
Pep had to make a selection decision today based on many factors. I think it was the right one. It was the players who missed the chances today not the manager. Also, why bring on KDB, Dias, Mahrez when there is a chance of injury before two enormous games. We had 3 really good chances today, they were not taken. That is the story of the game.

So do we play a second string team every league game now? We wont always be able to afford lose a league game.

and it wasnt the right decision because the team he put out lost ... to leeds

When have barca and real ever struggled to fund a purchase ?

They haven't but Barcelona in particular are supposed to be struggling financially.

Well I hated the fact that we had to lose a game.
I'm absolutely fuming still to be honest, hope we don't make the same mistake against villa and then Palace.

Luckily you are being pragmatic about it rather than letting it get the better of you.

I think you need to relax a little personally .

It aint over until it's over but I'm confident we can do it and, if we lose the league from here, we wouldn't desrve to be champions

If he rests players against Villa and Palace, it shows he couldn't give a fuck about the league

When you say it's been done in the past... yeah leads have been chucked away

But a lead of 14 points with 6 games left has never been chucked away, even allowing for the 2 games in hand

We're 1000 to 1 ON to win it for a reason

We just need to calm down, keep our nerve, get behind the team... and all will be fine

But we aren't 1000 to 1 on. Rags went from 420 to win the league to 110 to win it at betfair. That is enough of a drop to sow a seed of doubt.

Posters who are saying Pep was right in resting players or not bringing KDB on bcoz he could get injured before a big game, I have a question :

Will same argument be made when he face Villa away next week? Should we rest players bcoz we have league Cup final coming up next weekend or this argument won't be relevant then? Or is it that we can rest players lose even if that means our lead potentially remains 5 points!?

We should have got it out of our system after the scum game. This could have been avoided today.

True but we can’t win every single game we play and it might take that pressure off of going on another long winning run

Part of the reason why FFP is crooked as fuck.
a betting man would say they wont be shy spending this summer
