Just popped in to say hi to the rags and dippers nursing a semi in here.

Would’ve liked to see Gvardiol come on at CB to be honest

 

[Mad_fer_it]

Set of jittery, panicky bitches at the mo.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Time to put Die Hard on methinks.

The Welsh porno?

One thing is for sure in my mind. Champions to be, win the game from here. An acid test coming right up.

Its jut a carbon copy of nearly every other game for the last 2 months.
Start off well, create plenty of chances and miss them all due to having players who are good on the ball but woeful at putting the ball into the net in the team. Other team then realises we are nothing to worry about, we have fuck all pace and creativity in the side and just wait for our usual comedy defending to get a chance.
Other team then with a 3rd of our possession and goal attempts then find it easy to score against us with their first shot.
How often does this happen for Pep and the staff to not realise its a serious issue.
Set pieces, a great tool with the amount we get, especially when we cant score from open play are an utter embarrassment and clearly ignored and not worked on in training.

And the squad depth is lacking in serious quality, we have bought badly over the last few windows, and those we bought ie Gvardial is being played out of position. Stones cannot be relied on anymore despite how brilliant he is and we need to go back to basics and play players in their best positions.
Forget about the league this season, a team who cannot keep clean sheets or put their chances away will not win the title, top 4 will be our challenge, even the awful Rags are only 3 points behind us.

Team needs a reset, coaching staff looked at inc Peps assistant as not been the same since we lost the guy to Leicester and a huge rebuild in the summer and need to improve out 1st 11, not buy 17 year olds, look how bad out bench is tonight.

Everything down the right Bernie not a winger Walker slows it down Everton have very quickly sussed it out The only time we have shown any progression is when we switch left Pep persistence with this is alarming Everton to get another 2:0

 

[Fat Freddy's Cat]

Ederson's distribution is masterful, but once in a while I'd like to see him pull off a better than decent save... Still, it was a catalogue of mistakes that led to their goal, not just Eddy's inability to shot stop.

I thuoght he made save that was certainly better than ' decent'

 

[nellyonthewing]

He made a superb save only minutes ago. Don't know what more you could ask for.

Stop dwelling on the ball leading to us fucking about . Ortega would have got to their goal .

 

[Damanino]

Nunes need to stop backheels.
