Get Ted Lasso in!

Not sure what more Pep can do with the players available and how out of form we are, missing Grealish and Rodri after getting stupid bookings, clearly no trust in Phillips, Kovacic and Nunes as they never start. KDB and Doku missing.

If anyone is to blame for the way we are playing this season is those recruiting. Players allowed to leave without decent replacements, Doku the only real high light. We are weaker this season with he injured and departed players missing.

There was a time when we had a second string or at least a full bench that would give half the league a game, it's now not the case.

To pretend he has nothing to do with recruitment is disingenuous at best

Cant say Im surprised. Had this is a loss. We get Rodri, Stones. Kovacic and Grealish on the pitch v Luton and we can get going again

Never have I seen a pep side get absolutely battered. This has been coming.

Were you not there during the 16/17 season or literally any time we played at Anfield in the 17/18 season? Haha.

I’m sorry but this shit is on Pep and his mate Txiki. Lewis and Alvarez in midfield is a disgrace. Our most experienced players in Phil and bernado out wide. The bench despite injuries is shocking.

 

[VOOMER]

Not the end of the world lads

WE WILL WIN THE LEAGUE AGAIN!

Not this season

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Our recruitment in the summer has been absolutely horrendous.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

WE WILL WIN THE LEAGUE AGAIN!

Cant fault your positivity...but when.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Should be at least 8 minutes added here with all the time wasting

We’re more likely to concede a second.

Think this is one of those performances that might be a good thing in the long run. We’ve been off it without having a shocker all season.

I'd be worried if it takes a performance (and result) like this for the management to realise we've been off it all season.
