Why nobody doesn't want to pass in space for Haaland

Or Foden or any of the runners…

 

[Bluemoon dan]

At least if Rashford goes off that takes away their only tactic of the long ball over the top. Should make it easier

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Don't think it's as bad as some on here think, we've been ok but only ok. Shut the crowd up for the first fifteen minutes, dominated without making any chances for the rest of the game, we've looked dangerous in a couple of moments but our final ball and decision making is killing us. Just need a good 15 minutes and a big moment to go our way.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Decent enough team performance hindered massively by a couple of shocking individual showings.

What the fuck is wrong with Kev?

 

[dctid]

Zero game plan and same old usual shite

May as well sub Haarland no point him player the way pep sets us up

 

[supercity88]

Would be nice if Cancelo passed to Foden once in a while rather than pretending he is the winger.

Patience needed. They're so easily carved open but everytime we rush the pass or do the predictable, only poorly executed.

Pass to feet guys. Pass and move. Do that with more confidence and we will win this. Their only chances come from our mistakes.

 

[argyle]

Personally I blame the players not pep.



At some point the players actually have to stop being shit



Something isnt right in the camp.

 

[sh249]

Come back, kev, all is forgiven

Anyone lauding the scum for ‘tactical masterclass’ kiss my arse; two changes here for us and we’ll over run them; it’s the hall in the final 3rd which is shocking

Yeah. They’ve done ok, but there’s been a handful of times we’ve got into positions from which we’d usually kill teams. But we’ve been undone by De Bruyne, Foden and Mahrez making poor choices, or fucking up fairly straightforward passes.

 

[CPPSC]

Tool

Yep you are a big one

 

[SamBlue]

Definitely the glass half full in the first 45', considering Pep decided to play Rodri, a very strange goalkeeper and nine random strangers.
