Cancelo didn't have his greatest of games, but that defeat is on Pep

Again !

Big game and his brain fuses and we capitulate. We might have seen some of the best football ever under him, but we'll never win the CL under him.

FFS Alvarez sub at 88mins...what a fucking joke

Agree. One would think these big game demons would’ve left him by now.
I thought the line-up was spot on from Pep, I would have probably picked the same team, maybe Alvarez instead of Gundogan. But when he sees nothing works in attack after 55-60 minutes, you HAVE TO make changes. His stubborness caused us a loss today and it will happen again, just hopefully not in our next CL final.

The result matters not a thing when we're winning the league. Cant have everything. Just cant. And its not our cup final, I think maybe some of you guys see it that way. We have bigger fish to batter imo.

The result matters because of the history. Nobody is saying this is about winning or losing a league and you know it. No one is saying rather beat Liverpool and lose the league either. You know this too. If you feel differently that’s grand I get it but people coming on saying man up, get some balls etc is absolute fucking nonsense.

In fairness, Porto still haunts me. Not forgiving him seems harsh, but it truly did feel like our name was on the trophy that season. He'll leave with a black cloud over him if he doesn't win us a CL. No more excuses now.

Sorry if that derails the thread a little, but our CL burden is comparable to our Anfield burden; which we were treated to once again today.

Yeah but we're getting closer and closer. Just needs time.

Who will win us the CL? If Pep cannot do it are you saying sack him?

If we want to win the CL yes ! However I think we should adjust to the fact Pep will not win it for us, withdraw from all CL cup schemes and let the tourists fill the ground instead

Phil was under instructions, same as Jack is.

What's the point of telling foden not to attack the guy who he should of got sent off last season coz he couldn't handle him makes no sense

 

[meltonblue]

Think we have now lost twice in 5 seasons to the besterest team ever to walk on planet earth

We’ve lost the last three games we’ve played against them unless you’re talking just pl? Even then it’s more than two in five seasons though.

 

[argyle]

They had their worst team out in years. Milner at right back ffs.

Not once did we get down the wings to put pressure on them.

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

I though the away goals thing was scrapped in the CL or was that only during covid . . . or did I just imagine it?

 

[lazerblue]

Haaland had a header, a chance to chip Allison and a scuffed shot. All good chances.

i think they were what you call half chances, it would be hard to beat that keeper with the header from that angle

4 points behind, need to start taking Arsenal seriously, they beat this Liverpool team, Liverpool have been decent at home this season it's their away form where they crumble. Arsenal are our title rivals this year and I'd say Tottenham with Conte. Dippers are 10 points behind even though they beat us.

Arsenal were lucky today. Leeds missed a penalty, and some really big chances.

Not saying you are wrong in your assessment.

Just that tougher tests await them.
