Pep never changes tactics he just puts other players on to play the same way

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Collectively that was a fucking awful 45 minutes. Some of the individuals need a fucking rocket up their arse. Laporte, Gundogan, Silva, Mahrez, Sterling and Jesus absolute turd. KDB hasn’t been much better but at at least he is trying things.

As for Walker, don’t get me started on that fucker. If you are playing right back and are absolutely dogshit going forward, you have to be rock-solid defensively to justify being a footballer, never mind a footballer that gets in this side. What on gods earth was he doing for their goal?

Nothi

Nothing at all

Bollocks,there is a place calling you

 

[Muttley59]

we tend to attack more left sided than right and the mendy sterling combination never seems to work imho. foden down left please or switch to more right side efforts - oops mahrez is there ffs

We never seem to start well when we stay with merlin and gundog

Midfield is too static when they play together.

 

[pudge]

We never seem to start well when we stay with merlin and gundog

That's because Dave hasn't got the legs and Gundogan doesn't have the bollocks.

 

[Dax777]

Because there is no midfield. Gundogan is stood Behind an arsenal player most of the time.

Nah. When Gundogan or Kev have the ball there should be 2 passes as Arsenal are backing off. The CBs are taking forever to join. Has nothing to do with Gundogan. Just poor football on Larporte's part.

And on 3 occasions I think he just made a shit pass under no pressure. Not good enough on his own merit.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Too slow coming out from the back

Kev and David man marked so bring Foden on to mix it up

Would also bring Fernandinho on for Garcia

We need to press their back line more

The Siva and Gundogan pairing failing again.
Not the only thing wrong but just saying.

The pairing is de Bruyne and Gundogan, they’re the two lying deep.

Gundogan hasn’t been in the game and de Bruyne has been that bad he deserves to be subbed.

 

[Josh_D]

He's sent a very good team out to play and they're not doing themselves any favours
We are utterly pedestrian and the final ball when we've been in a great position has been dreadful

He looked baffled. The personnel on paper are good. Shape just need to change. Some players need the hook. More movement needed in the final third as well.
