lowest points total at this stage since 2007/8...

[Francis Rizzo]

its up to the manager to find a system that suits the players as hopefully you`ll find out when pep arrives, if the manager has little impact why have we gone to this trouble of hunting and waiting for pep.

I want shut of the manager more than most pal, I'm just saying the players need to do a lot more.

It is an appalling record this season and khaldhoons interview is going to make for interesting viewing at the end of the season!

And that's with 15 points from first 5 games!

We never recovered from the Juventus home defeat, thought we were invincible at that stage and then showed zero mental strength since

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

That is a very good point. . . My only worry is that Pep will change his mind if nothing is signed, though.

Your "only worry"? Would that it were.

Strange league form compared to decent showings in the cups. It's almost as though we are deliberately tossing of the league.

Its a good point is that.

As fans its difficult to stomach but as a club, im sure they will make decisions to prioritise certain competitions dependant on circumstances which is helped by the ridiculous top 4 gets you a spot in the CL rule.

Its the major get out these days.

To make it clear, i neither agree with it or like it one bit and as a fan, my first priority every season is the league, end of.

Here it is:

Quarter finals of the CL for the first time ever.

A League Cup.

Dissapointed with the league campaign after a great start.

Thank you Manuel.

Welcome Pep.

Possible 1/4 final of the champions league mate and if we don't get top 4 in the league then the league cup blagged on penalties will still amount to a poor season! It's about performance and attention to detail which has been shockingly bad this season to be honest
