[Beanhead]

big decisions on KDB and Walker this summer, time to say goodbye?

Lol.. bar today KDB has been pretty much lethal since returning and our entire game relies around Kyle Channeling his inner cheetah to get us out of sticky spots with the high line (which he still does loads).

It’s all fucking Littlewoods on Sty.

I know it's ridiculous. It was the same pre match.

Like Villa away, we got battered. Arsenal will give us a good hiding in a few weeks, bookmark this.

Have done.

We just don’t look quite right in any aspect of the game. Open at back and lacking quality to kill games in final 3rd

 

[Keeper!]

Don’t underestimate how psychologically detrimental it was when Rodri got booked 8 seconds before half time after Alvarez’s fuck-up.

That incident and then Ake’s brain fart set the tone and the composure completely disappeared. We looked terrified.

Thought we might capitalise on their injury issues but Klanfield did its thing once again.

A point is huge under those circumstances.

Too much is asked of Rodri, he is utterly fucked, carried our midfield for so long, he has needed proper help for the best part of 3 seasons

Harsh!

He should have shepherded him wide. Nothing happens if he does that, he has the stupid him in.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

For me we’ve taken a point away at Klanfield, they’ve dropped two points at home.

 

[Sparkys-Army]

Better defender than him today?
He had two running at him all game and got fuck all support
Crunched a few tackles and looked up for it
Same can’t be said for at least three quarters of the starting 11

If he stopped standing out of position or so far ahead of them so he has to catch up, it's just a wierd approach to defending. Gave it away a fair few times too. I thought Akanji was the better defender today, personally.

We couldn't match their energy in the 2nd half. Their energy levels were superior (how could Diaz run like this?) and compensated for the inexperience of their younger/new players. People who judge football players or teams on paper are a bit clueless.

Let's be honest here. That was a really bad mistake by Ake, up there with Cancelo or even worse. He's a wonderful squad player, but no more than that. Imagine the comments if that was Gvardiol? Akanji has been the better player last and this season, but you would never guess it by reading this forum. Game of favourites.

Pep has to tweak the midfield. It's very difficult to make room for all of KDB, Foden, Haaland and Alvarez in big (!) games. We got a bit better with Kovacic and Doku. But we miss Gundogan. It's not easy to replace his intelligence, calmness and ability to score from midfield.

 

[ShedDweller]

He actually just nicked a touch, despite the follow through, couldn’t of argued if given mind

There was minimal contact but he was a tit putting us in that situation. I wouldn't have neen surprised if had been given.
