This happens every time Sterling isn't at his best.
Boo boys need a scape goat.

He hasn’t been at his best since 2019

Jesus??? Honestly, I don't know what some of you are watching on a weekly basis. He is not good enough for us and games like this prove it. He isn't a difference maker in any way.

Based on what? Today? Jesus has been a difference maker for us several times before?

Too many changes. The definitive sucker punch.

100% sorry with that team today I knew what was coming

 

[Blu1]

A top striker & almost all of our issues will go. It’s insane a club of our status still don’t have a top striker.

 

[PistonBlue]

after seeing the team sheet it wasnt

The team was picked with Dortmund in mind clearly, not the team I’d have picked but there you go.
Having said that, the stats say we should have won the game even with that team, 71% possession, 29 shots, 7 on target. So yes, unexpected.

Maybe this is pep saying we need to spend 100+ on a striker

 

[Mr HJ]

Maybe just maybe this could turn out to be a good thing - with such important games coming up it kind of galvanises the thought that rotation should stop and certain players who have been banging on the managers door wanting to play more now know they have to turn up when given a chance. Mendy, Cancelo and Raheem did themselves no favours today. Anyway onto Wednesday, we have much bigger fish to fry and I suspect Pep will be livid with the lack of movement against ten men.

It shows the fringe players aren’t as good as everyone thinks.

 

[Beanhead]

Anyone else notice their winning goal was offside? Helder Costa is offside in the build up and it never even got looked at.

I have just rewound to look at this.. and it is very, very, very tight. Zinchenko is the player possibly playing him on but have paused it on numerous occasions and I really can’t tell but veering to the decision he was offside.

No excuses.. but surprised it wasn’t at least checked as it is certainly tight.

People need to grow a set of balls on here. So what we lost a game that isn't important. We rested the players that we wanted to for the important games. Its all about the cups now

I dread to think what will happen on here if we lose to Dortmund or Chelsea. Can't tell if its children or just the most kneejerk adults in existance who are having a meltdown.
