This game showed that our 2nd string players are no more than that unfortunately. Cancelo very poor today, Torres doesn’t do enough, Zinchenko is no KDB, Bernardo shocking, Sterling Shocking, Jesus shocking... and Peps selection shocking. The tactics were bizarre, too passive, looked as though we were hoping to ‘just do enough’ at 75%. Too many sideways passes and then wasted with poor decisions or pointless lofted balls to nobody. The one time we got it right, Bernardo with a shit header puts it over the bar when trying to head across the goal. Overall, too average from too many. Very disappointed. They’d better get it right for Dortmund, otherwise this was a waste.

Agreed.

We all know why Pep played the team he did, but I am far more interested in winning the Premier League.

I hope this doesn’t come back to bite us in the arse.

Rags losing should ease the pain. You look at our remaining games and there are some tricky ones in there, Chelsea and Villa, I could easily see us losing both.

no, it isn't. Not by a long shot. Wasted a home banker with some tough away's to come and the potential for it to be 8 points with 6 games left. Our form and performances have dropped off so much every game looks a difficult challenge. Same as always this time of year, get the QFs and the team starts shitting itself for no reason.

wasn’t out last game against Leicester being called one of our best ?

Little harsh expecting Zinc to be KDB.

Thought he had a decent enough game, and is generally a 7 out of 10 whenever he plays. Valuable part of the squad - those around him need to be taking a look at themselves, apart from John Stones and Fernandinho

What’s the old saying about doing things the same but expecting different outcomes.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

29 shots and 7 on target. That's less than 1 in 4. I would expect a better 'on target' return in a Sunday League match.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Lescott and Ferdinand have just made the point that Torres looks a lot like Sergio when he plays as a striker. Maybe that’s where he should be rather than being stuck out on the wing where he’s not really having any impact.

He has always done well going up top for us, Out wide he struggles. His movement is incredible when he plays up front.

The most dangerous player and best finisher we have through the middle is torres when we make changes he doesn't do much out wide but he's a real threat through the middle.
Poor today but can't complain too much we lost with our 2nd choice team go to dortmund and win and beat Chelsea then we are where we want to be.
Wasn't a great advert for some of the squad players though

Mendy’s crosses are as useless as a pork rib is to a vegetarian.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

After making all the changes to save the key players, lets hope that this shit performance fires them up for the game against Dortmund otherwise it will have been a total fucking waste as a strategy.
