You would never believe a champions league place is still up for grabs. It’s almost as if half the players won’t be here next season so couldn’t give a fuck whether we are in it or not next year
I do wonder how much those care who kind of know they wont be here next season.

Law of averages say have enough shots and that clown Onana will throw one in. One might be enough.

Let's hope soI’m hoping Pep is lulling them into a false sense of security I anticipate atleast 2 changes at halftime & another Pep masterclass

Yep. Wage thieves all over the pitch at the moment.You would never believe a champions league place is still up for grabs. It’s almost as if half the players won’t be here next season so couldn’t give a fuck whether we are in it or not next year
I don't think what he said was too far off the mark, seriously, without the anger, that midfield is just wrong.Anger issues. Blocked
Conservative estimateWe need to sign about 10 players in the summer ha

Poor game between two poor teams. Fully expect we'll get done by a ball over the top at some point.

The fact he isn’t in the starting eleven tells you everything you need to know about this season.I’d love for Grealish to come on but sadly I doubt it’ll happen.

Not sure if it's the shape or if we're just absolutely terrified of taking even minor risks. So many times there's been an obvious forward pass through the lines and we don't even consider it. We take the safe option repeatedly. We actually look more threatening when we lose the ball and then press to get it back. Losing the ball because of sloppiness is one thing, losing it because you're trying to make something happen is different.

That doesn’t say he’s being sentimentalErmm starting Bernardo , Kdb , Gundo when we spent 200m in Jan
I'm sorry for the profanity but the twat had it coming by calling me a moron, and then he cries when I give it back.
Only changes will be if we go 2-0 downI’m hoping Pep is lulling them into a false sense of security I anticipate atleast 2 changes at halftime & another Pep masterclass
Phil has been dire in the final third - not even bothering to find space or run between the lines. I know he's had some off field issues but he's playing like he can't be bothered.
Kovacic should be nowhere near the starting 11 has zero ability to find a telling pass, gets caught out when he runs forward. Cannot use space, demands the ball deeper and deeper putting us under pressure.
Nunes is ok but is one brain fart from gifting them a pen or a goal.
Kev is being asked to play like a false 9 but sadly doesn't have the pace to do that. He should be like our quarterback - his strength is passing but he looks lost.
Bernardo is running about a lot but has lost his cutting edge and will not now take on a player - long gone are the days of him drifting past players with ease.
Gundo looked like his old self when he had Nico as insurance and I thought yay quality doesn't leave you but again alongside Kovacic he also looks slow and incapable of playing a telling pass.
Other than that everything is great!

I genuinely think pep will be pleased with that as well. He is so scared of the counter.
But we were quite open to the counter? I don't think he'll be happy. I'm sure he had a plan (overload midfield, all the passes etc) but there's no way that half is what he envisioned, even if it felt inevitable to others from the lineup
WTF is up with Nico>?The fact he isn’t in the starting eleven tells you everything you need to know about this season.
Just don't get why he's on the bench

Think that involves us having a shot? I'm more worried about the amount of the ball that cart horse dorgu is getting, surely he can't fuck it up every single timeLaw of averages say have enough shots and that clown Onana will throw one in. One might be enough.
