1. Foden off, Alvarez on.
2. Gomes in for Walker flip with Cancelo.

3-5. Abandon the fucking inverted fullbacks

 

[Newman Noggs]

Worryingly dysfunctional performance so far. I hope Pep has an answer.

Well that was poo. Smelly smelly poo.

Absolutely woeful, nobody can seem to pass, we are hoofing balls up to Haaland but getting nowhere near him, honestly cant see us turning it round today, too narrow and no plan b again, it's ok though we drew a stupid friendly against our best friends Barca in the week...

If Pep wanted an inverted fullback then we should have bought a RB that can play the ball.

I said it last week that if Pep wanted to play this way he should have told Zin he was going nowhere as he was 1st choice LB. Cancelo 1st choice RB and Walker put out to graze. Why you would take Kyle Walker at this point in his career and tell him to play as an inverted full back is fucking beyond comprehension.

Jesus wept that was a terrible half. We look completely rattled. I’ll be mightily peeved if Walker is in midfield at the start of the second half. Alvarez has to come on.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

I’m worried if Palace come out and get a third in second half, unimaginable!

You know whos really good where walker is? Bernaedo.

 

[Jag]

We are allergic to shooting unless its a tap in.

The midweek friendly worked in our favour though, that's a positive
