Leicester City v City post match.

[Bob the Baker]

Makes you wonder what videos Pep has been studying to get his information on the other teams. Otherwise, we could've been embarrassed there

Pep has a lot of work to do. I just dont know why we cant get a team to defend under Pep he aint a fool he can set out some great tatics defending should be straight forward to sort out. Cut the 3 at the back straight away. Get Ottamendi and Stones as a pairing until Kompany is back. Stones needs dropping once Kompany is back his confidence is shot for me. Midfield on up to attack we are grand. I wouldnt be shocked to see us signing a few players in January if we can get them. All fullbacks at the club needs replacing who are regulars of sorts. Its last season all over again next 2 games 6 points is a must. Tell the players to shoot were like Arsenal of years back pass pass pass pass teams to death with no player shooting if it is not Aguero. Fucking tatics adapt to what we have play every system apart from 4-4-2 so far. He has a lot to learn once he sorts out what he wants we should be grand the season is long away form were grand home is were we need to sort it asap.

Think the one big problem we have with the defensive set up, is the first option is to look for Bravo.
The ball goes back to Bravo and the opposition can then advance onto pressurise us, safe in the knowledge
that they're not going to get caught out with a ball over the top. Times and places and all that.

PLUS we cannot seem to do basic defending such as closing down and tackling.

Return to the team and formation that won the first 10 games of the season? It makes far too much sense.

Wont make any difference. They sat back in awe of Pep for the first 10 games, then they watched how Celtic did it. Teams now know to press us and we give the ball away easily

The problem is his lack of pace. He does okay against not particularly quick forwards, but against ones with pace, like Vardy, he gets exposed. He also looks flaky when put under pressure.

100% right. The guy has the turn of pace and flat out pace of a snail. It doesn't take a genius to work it out.....turn him and we're in trouble. The fact he actually can't defend also doesn't help!

Well, this thread has been a lot more enjoyable than the game.

 

[cleavers]

I'm pretty sure it was three all first half.

It definitely went to 3 after the second goal, though it was such a mess at times, it was difficult to know what were doing, though defending wasn't one of them.

Well that went well, Peps worst nightmare this at the moment, it's undeniabley fucking wank football being served up, nobody else on here can deny it that he's ramming square pegs on round holes .

Fucking wake up you fucking idiot , they ain't up to it-whether you are the fucking don or not.

Dogshit fucking laughing stock.

I'm pretty sure it would work better than what we have seen in the last two games.

Made me laugh anyway.

First chuckle I've had all night, will someone pm me when the flappers have gone to bed, I've got man flu and can't take much more
