Same old. We’ve actually played ok with the ball but off it, we are a fucking disgrace.

They’ve scored two of the worst goals I have ever seen in such a big fixture. Where is the pride, the bottle, the effort to do the hard yards?

The 1st came from a corner than should never have been but because Rico is fucking braindead, as well as being fucking useless, they get a corner out of nothing.

The 2nd is an absolute nothing ball over the top. Watching Gvardiol and Ake “run” is fucking laughable. Ake is finished…you can’t have a CB who can’t run. Every time he gets into something that resembles a jog, he looks like his hamstrings are going to instantly explode.

Our tactics for our right hand side, are terrible. Rico moving into the midfield is worse thing Pep has ever done. I wanna scratch my eyes out watching it.

KDB has been woeful.

Feel sorry for our wide men, particularly Doku, who has been brilliant.
 
We might as well have Eddie taking our set pieces now, the dead ball plays are getting worse

We have been on top, they have been more clinical. That's why they are top of the league.

We have conceded the same amount of goals as united. The defence is failing the team week in week out.

It doesn't help that the players keep getting injuries all of the time

So they can't get a settled defence

Do you live in a fantasy world where your views are always correct?

You cannot defend this performance. The only player that has put in a committed effort is Doku, the rest..... crap.

When we're brilliant and untouchable I call it, so when we're shit...

I watch the game. It's an opinion.

Maybe you should try watching the game a bit more objectively sometimes.
 
All that possession and all it takes is one player to lose patience and the pressure is of the dippers.
This is all about lack of composure and patience.
There is no coordinated press. This is a disjointed team.
 
Doku, Sav and Marmoush all really good that half.

Horrible to have to say this but Kev wouldn’t get in the women’s team he’s that far away from this level now. You can’t have a CM who is that off it in a game like this. Major issue being there’s no one to replace him with as Gundog has gone the same way and Kovacic is mediocre.

No Haaland so we’re having to try and score a perfect false 9 type of goal which is going to very difficult v these.

Both their goals are wank from a defensive perspective and sum us up this season.
 
Pep needs to make subs at half time to have any chance. Grealish and Bernardo on for Foden and Rico.

Liverpools plan was let us Huff & puff & hit us on the break. They have tactically beat us. They have not pressed which makes us feel like we have done ok. We have not done ok. We are losing 2 nil & look like we have nothing to get back in this.

That’s literally everyone’s tactic against us now. It’s so fucking basic and yet we fall for it every week.

We signed Marmoush for 59m as Haaland’s backup and yet he’s nowhere to be seen in our box. If we wanted to play false 9 I’d rather KDB be in there or just not on the pitch.

He works better with Haaland. He may get better on his own but it will take time with Pep’s system.
