Match Thread | Juventus vs. Man City (11/12/24)

I agree that this has all the hallmarks of a team who is no longer responding to their manager.

Toothless up front, open at the back, zero legs in midfield, no creativity and no energy.

That said, Pep has extracted every last ounce of ability from KDB, Gundo, Walker, Bernardo. A rebuild is needed and Pep deserves the chance to see it through.

I agree he deserves it but I think he will decide to leave it to Xabi Alonso or someone else. Pep's tired, the team are tired. He won't want to drag it on.

From laughing while loosing to Liverpool to the lack of effort tonight. Haaland having no competition is one of the many problems this season.

Apart from pep and city’s coaching staff

Serving them well currently isn't it

I think their heads have gone. Burnt out. Injuries have exposed the group. Pep’s football is demanding and half this team are not up to it. Confidence shattered and opponents can smell blood every fucking game.

Don’t disagree but that’s the club we knew years ago , this club needs success or the “business plan “ is fucked

We’ve been fucked before.
We will return.
Too much invested in ‘the project’ for us not too.
I reckon that the next winning cycle we achieve will be all the more sweeter.
Keep the faith.

It's not going the end of the world if we didn't anything this season and finished in mid table.

Yes we are fucking atrocious right now but that doesn't mean you doesn't stand with the team when they need our support the most right now.

I’ve said it earlier but it’ll do the Fanbase good to miss a season in the CL as too many with a CBA attitude now at CL home games.

 

[MMA]

It's not about turning on the team, it's about calling out worry when it's warranted. We look done, completely done.

Yep.
Why the fuck people go on about when we had a shit team years ago I don't know..

These are world class players coaches manager ect..

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I knew the Forest game was a flash in the pan

Ignore that game and we've lost 7 out of 9 and drawn 2

Something has gone on inside the dressing room, there's no way a few injuries completely remove all desire and fight from a squad of players

We don’t lack desire, we lack footballing ability and every single physical attribute you can list.

Was listening on the radio. Don't think he was mentioned in the 2nd half.

Ditto...he may as well not be there...and even if he had drawn a clutch of defenders, there have been no other forward players to exploit that space

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Look where rico Lewis is when doku loses the ball...look what he does...points to the other defender to Gome across him to pick up the man who is closer to him and then does not recover for the simple ball in behind him...then fails to cut our the cross

Sorry but hecis a major issue as walker is and people don't want to see it....and where is gundo in that picture......isn't he the 6?

This will keep happening unless pep trues something different in that m8ddlecof midfield and stops Lewis as well

Where is Walker, who was playing LCB in the Back 3, when McKennie volleyed that in?

Ask Ruben Dias, he’ll tell you!!

Anyone blaming Haaland for that loss has lost their mind! He SHOULD have scored the chance, but beyond that? Never saw the ball, occupied two defenders but ZERO MIDFIELD RUNNERS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO LEGS IN THERE!!!

I’ve been giving Lewis a few words, but he played two positions tonight while others aren’t playing one!!
