Anyone got any positives to say?

I am enjoying it quite a lot, drih weather, atmosphere inside the stadium doesn't look and sound bad. Pep is playing an interesting formation with almost the third string. We are battling it against another 5-3-2 this time, committed to defend so deep, the only thing really not working is Mahrez-Palmer axis, the latter being completely out of it with Mahrez hogging the ball. And why blaming Alvarez when no ball is coming his way from those supposedly providing a through ball.

Ken Barlow FC playing out a dead rubber, so far

Don't know what the fuck is up with Mahrez not once has he passed to Palmer.
Overall we've been shite.

That’s true. Palmer seems to be the one that doesn’t get the ball.

Surprised how lacklustre we are tonight , players being given a chance to impress and none of them apart from Lewis who has looked decent , Palmer and Alvarez just not getting on the ball , Foden being given his chance to run the midfield and not really taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Grealish again flattering to decieve , Mahrez just playing the easy ball everytime.
Pep should lay into them at half time , we are playing at walking pace and need to get at their back four , need to pass the ball quicker and generally they need a kick up the backside , second half can't be any worse than that tripe that has been served up.

Need you giving half time team talk…….

Players need to switch around a bit

So much more difficult to do when Mahrez is on the pitch as he can pretty much ONLY play one position, so on pitch rotation in an attacking sense is almost impossible :(

Mahrez’s form compared to last season is like day and night,and every time he starts now unfortunately it’s a huge sigh from most,just move the ball a bit quicker in final third but they are defending decent enough to be fair..

Palmer is just wasting the chances Pep is giving him. I don't want to hear about him being out of position because so was Foden when he got shifted over to the left but he was showing at 17 he was obviously going to be a star. Still don't see that from Palmer.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

A waste of time travelling to the game so far.

Guess we are seeing that Foden and Palmer aren’t ready to be 8s.

Gomez is definitely a false 3.
