That performance by Mahrez is solid proof he has some compromising info in Pep. There’s no way he should be coming out for the 2nd half. He was a passenger. I’m surprised the rest pass to him, they know exactly what he will do.

He is picked solely in the hope he will produce one moment of magic to win the game. The problem is that happens about once every 10-15 games these days. The rest of his game is poor and means we almost play with 10 men.

All playing well apart from you know fuckin who. Get him off and get a striker on!

Will Sterling ever go past a full back v utd?
Pep as given him a so called easier night against the pie muncher but sterling won't even attempt to go by him.
Confidence is a big problem for him.
These are here for the taking cos they looked fucked.
Same strongest 11 for Noddy game after game, so if we can keep them chasing the ball and then find a finish, that should do it for us

Boring half. Similar to the game in the league.

don’t agree. Plenty has happened in the first half.

I fell asleep in the 0-0

What does luck have to do with someone not putting the ball on target? If a basketball player hits the rim and misses we don't say he's unlucky.

Ah, American, never mind, the basketball thread is somewhere else.

I've been following online but it's kind of tough to not be distracted by the coup attempt in DC.

Spot on,ive been saying it for months.They have no substance,no killer instinct......weak as fucking kittens.

Sterling is our biggest goal threat, if you go off recent seasons. That to me, is a huge problem for us. Sterlings goals just be supplementary, not the vocal part of our attack.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Mahrez is the epitome of what i hate in some players, no desire, thinks talent alone gives him the right to be on that pitch...

We literally played with 10 men first half and still outclassed them!

 

[Manchester1894]

Scoring against them has suddenly become a major problem. What’s that now? Three and a half games? We fall for their negativity every time.

It's a single gameplan to spoil and counter. They are probably the most physical side in the league too so over 38 games we should always win out but in one-offs like today we sometimes need a bit extra and everyone fit.

And people on here tell us that Ferno is finished FFS.

If that's finished god help us. Got a couple of years in him imo. Doesn't have to play every week either
