Three years running Pep’s tried to change the way we play and taken our strengths away: dropped Sterling and played Gundo right wing at Anfield and got beat 3-0; dropped Kompany, Bernardo and de Bruyne at Spurs and got beat 1-0; plays 3-4-3 against Lyon and it’s not working

we are losing to a Lyon side that lost 5-1 to psg! and psg dont have a midfield

Neither do we at the moment.

Not a game for old legs. Would have preferred Foden over Fernandinho for this one.

Fernandinho was showing signs of age catching up on return from lockdown and shouldn’t be playing in this game.

This has been as terrible as I feared when I saw that team.

I say we have another half to sort it out.

Completely agree but right now, we look awful which explains the moaning.

Bc we have some of the best player on the bench and showing Lyon way too much respect. They came 7th in their league ffs

This times 1000 Lyon aren’t a very good side, the way we lined up is ridiculous

Raz giving him the runaround. More of that please!

I never get the "give it until half time to change it" that gets said. It's not working, they look like scoring, we don't, how does doing to same for another 15 minutes help us? Accept the mistake and make the change early.

I'm fuming that he's stuck de bruyne out onto the wing

Same here, Kev does his best work centrally

fernandinho is lost. walker also looking confused - look like we can be opened up every time down our right
