I am sure Pep, as well as us fans, will definitely not be happy with the 2nd half.pep won't be happy with that second half totally took the foot off the gas
that was warning shot across the bows for future games
but the first half scintillating
Full credit to Leicester to sticking to their passing game, as the vast majority of teams would have put 9 players behind the ball when they are 4-0 down.
However, why does Pep seldom, if ever, change the formation or make early substitutions when things are going wrong ?
Once again, only one 1 sub used, at 70 minutes. For the previous 25 minutes of the 2nd half, we were outplayed and seemed unable to know how to stop the Foxes breaking with quick, slick passing.
We now have 2 very tough away games in 4 days.
Please Pep, if things are not going to plan, change things early so that the full squad is utilised and the team is refreshed.
Hopefully, Rodders is fit for both games, as he was sorely missed today.
Also, Phil must start as he is our most unpredictabe and talented player, in my opinion.
We will probably have times in both the upcoming games, where we will not have so much of the ball. Just like Bernaro, Foden is superb at forcing defenders to panic and make mistakes. He is essential to the team, and hopefully both Phil and Grealish are now fully forgiven...
