I don't really get what Pep's trying to do in recent weeks.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Who said mourinho, we didn't play hoof ball we played controlled attacking football and broke quickly when we could, it seems this team isn't allowed to break quickly, no goals in last champions league game and looking likely 0 goals In this one

That’s Mourinhoball. And Kloppball.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It's garbage stuff of late it really is. We just don't look at all threatening, infact everything we used to do well has gone to pot. Absolutely boring

Many, many times we’ve had “boring” thrown at us unfairly and we’ve had to fight/laugh off those claims, but this truly is boring. Zero positives from that half. I don’t even see it still being 0-0 as a positive. I’d rather we played with a beautiful style that we’re known for and be trailing 1-0 to a counter. I’d genuinely prefer that. At least there’d have been enjoyable moments.

Pretty poor again.
Shape looks awkward, not creating anything.
I’d get Grealish on for Mahrez. Foden over to the right. And probably switch Cancelo to the right and move Ake to left back.

I don’t like Stones at right back at all.
That’s the sort of thing will catch us out in the latter stages of this tournament

Dull game. We’re creating nothing

Alvarez booking seemed harsh enough although they didn’t show a replay

Play thas lewis there if you dont want to buy any new full backs...He can´t be worse than Stones there.

 

[wolviedinho]

No rhythm to our play. Full backs not right. Link up from back to front is slow. As poor as iv seen us play in a while now. Slow boring football

 

[WestGorton]

Notice they have made it a heavier pitch to slow the passing. Added to us not at the best. Therefore I would be happy with a draw.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Dog shit first half. If we were playing a decent team we’d be getting hammered now. Half the team looks asleep and Mahrez is obviously having another shit game, but why the fuck is he on the pitch?

Ake and Cancelo is an accident waiting to happen on this left hand side but Guardiola’s just sat there doing fuck all, as is often the case these days. Looking forward to a sub at 88 minutes.

 

[Ajm1985]

This is shite. Lots of bum performances but not sure what the plan is. Mahrez proving his form is consistent (also has a CB at RB), Cancelo awful in all phases, Rodri misplacing passes and the defensive line is a wave. Alvarez & Haaland aren't in the game at all.

 

[Mariosfireworks]

My feeling is we won't go up any gears unless they score first.

And that's no guarantee, we certainly didn't go any gears up when the dippers scored
