Deep down Pep knows this.

I hope he does. Much rather have a footballer in there. As you say we're down to ten men when we're not pressing teams.

KDB came off as he was awful to

I thought taking Kev off was a good sub, he looked exhausted to me. Wish we had brought Bobb on though.

Played much better when Kovacic came on. Alvarez can't play that role.

Not great that we couldn't beat their near B team.

We didnt get beat is about the only good thing to come out of that game.

The old game of two halves.
Take the point and move on.

I still find it weird when a Pep side cedes the midfield, cant get used to it ha

Good post. We’re lacking a pair of top class wingers. Phil as we know is best when played central, Doku is just awful and Grealish is just okay. Pep has been forced to play Phil wide and while he’s been performing well we look disjointed elsewhere. In contrast, Arsenal have the best balanced team with no weaknesses and that’s why they’ll win it ahead of Liverpool.

Our character is simply unquestioned...to win four in a row FOUR IN A FKIN ROW..unheard of...doesn't help that we don't seem to have the back room staff to twist the ears of the top players who want to leave when it gets hard work..we miss sterling's 150 goals. Mahrez's genuine skill (and free kicks) Ilky's control and leadership..just too much to lose and not enough fight to convince top players to stay until they are out of their prime....fks me off a bit tbf

If that’s in front of the kop, it’s given

Quite possibly but they probably would have shouted for handball first

When is Pep going to recognise we play shite football with Haaland in the team.
6 touches in 54 minute second half. It’s like having ten men, which is a huge handicap when we play possession football.
Bring back false nine

Rag cafe is that way >>>>>

We just needed a steady 10 minutes at the start of the 2nd half, dreadful backpass from Ake, why didn't Ederson slide into the challenge? We crumbled until Kovacic steadied us down. Haaland offered nothing, but it is nice to come away with a point after holding out, rather than nothing after being the better side. All to play for.

The other thing to consider is that the Liverpool of previous seasons would have put 3 or 4 past us in that game.....they arent all that either

Nothing is over yet....they will wn their games at anfield but away could be a different story.

We on the other hand are not as good as previous seasons and havent been all season - will it click? I dont think it will - too many players look lke they are running on empty - KDB and Bernardo being two of them - but you never know - we may crawl over the line but Arsenal may also feel confident after that performance by both teams
