We’ll never get out of Sky Bet Division 2 playing like this.

All the myths about us having the best squad has been shown up this season, serious drop off in quality from the top 14/15. Still need a left back, defensive and creative midfielder and another striker

 

[Blu1]

It is a worry we have nothing on the bench to change this really. Maybe if we were to bring haaland & a Bernie on now it might fire them up. Our squad is not what most think

 

[oldius]

Poor first half that one. A little concerned about the 'jogging back' from players way out of position on the right hand side. Hopefully, we will put it right in the second half but take our chances and we'll be fine.

 

[Gray]

Can we keep them out at the other end, though?

Very doubtful!

 

[Stato]

Hope big Ange isn’t watching……

I am, he might feel he can rest a few

 

[Lavinda Past]

Who’s on the bench?

Have a guess :-)

 

[bluke]

Apart from Stefan, some of the lads are having a mare while a few of them are having an absolute shocker.

 

[blue whippet]

Very disappointing. Thank goodness I am wearing my thicker coat!

 

[Gabriel]

Dias needs a spell warming the bench. I’m not sure why Walker plays all the games but he brings nothing to it apart from pace to get himself out of the shit. Defence In general is nowhere near the standards set in the second half of last season.

Because there is no other pace at the back, especially now that Stones has to be kept in cotton wool and Ake seems incapable of playing two games in three days.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Not defending that first half performance as it was poor both collectively and individually, but if we'd had our shooting boots on we could have easily had 3 to 5 goals tonight. I expect a reaction in the 2nd half and fortunately we don't need to win the game so 2 goals gets us the draw we need.

Keep it 0-2 and win our last game and we top of the group

 

[super_city_si]

We need kovacic and nunes up to speed asap. Our midfield outside of rodri and bernardo is just not good enough

 

[I'm Blue]

Hope big Ange isn’t watching……

Son will be.

 

[SamBlue]

The worst game of Pep's time with us...by far! A few of our players look like there will be a fight in the dressing room. Even Bernardo plays like a mediocre Segunda player. And yet we could have scored a couple with this abomination of performance. We definitely entered a mini ace age, reminds me of 16/17 season when after an excellent start wheels started coming off.

And what the feck with that notebook Pep, turning into Mourinho. :)

 

[red 2 hats]

The only positive I can take is that it shouldn't/couldn't get any worse.

 

[hertsblue]

Some of those first half misses were criminal.

Sadly it’s the normal now, no idea why our players are so shocking in front of goal

 

[Bigga]

C'mon be fair. Most of that has been said in the past, before his downturn in form.

Mate, FIRST SEASON people wanted him wearing the armband!!

That was shocking to read that!!

 

[argyle]

Players look knackered after too many games + injuries + small squad = these type of performances.

 

[mcfcpride]

I’d bring Buzzer on. He couldn't do any worse.

 

[adr2.8i]

That was a shocker!!

I know it's not a must win but still slightly worrying. We are just not at it.

Would be nice to not get beat to keep our unbeaten home record going and to top the group!

Come on.lads!!
