First poor game and he gets dropped, and is this really the game to give Ortega his first start ? hope it's not a case of throwing him to the wolves.

I think it's a bit deeper than that. Even at his best Ederson represents risk and complexity. Ortega represents simplicity and sturdiness. He is a good choice for a game where we genuinely have good reason to think that we may face more shots than we ever have in a Pep game before. We've been a fucking mess lately and we're away to the world's most in-form team.

Whats going on with KDB?, on the bench AGAIN today surely we need him in matches like today's.

Weird, I thought he'd start for sure.
Unless the plan is keep it tight for 60 and hope he makes an impact last 30.

Jaws and @twosips on the bench.

Interesting

To be fair his mistake for the 3rd on Tuesday will have pissed Pep off in a big way, if you come out like that you have to get their, that said there are plenty of others who could be fairly dropped.

Yeah well Pep's insane high line that isn't working forces him to play the sweeper role and sometimes he gets it wrong, if he doesn't come out they have acres of space and would've probably scored anyway, Pep should be pissed at himself too because there was no reason to be so high at that point in the game.

They'll rip us to shreds :/

I thought Grealish would have been a starter, we are going to need to control the ball.
