Ironically, if we pull one back (as fanciful as that seems) Southampton will shit themselves and go into the low block.

Got to get the big man on. How many subs allowed in this competition? I'm hoping eleven...

Pep deep in thought........well,its all of your own doing pal.You have picked a square peg 11 (again) that has no cohesion,rhythm or fight.

Fucking joke,and we can count ourselves fortunate we arent more than 2 down.

There’s only Walker playing out of position, isn’t there? Not sure it’s really square pegs. Just a set of absolutely dogshit performances. I haven’t seen us underhit, overhit or misplace as many passes for years.

Really… pretty sure you have to play well to win games.

You only play every few weeks in that competition. Consistency has nowt to do with it. You can be shit for every game in between and raise it for the CL when it comes around. That why teams who have had very inconsistent seasons, finishing fourth or fifth in the Prem can win the CL.

Consistently winning games isn’t even the most important thing when trying to win the CL. In a round you can progress with one win and one draw, one win and one defeat or two draws and win on penalties.

You only need consistency in the league.

Just a lot of average players in our team tonight, more do than in a long time

Disappointing half obvs but I’d happily sacrifice this game to give ourselves a better chance of success at the weekend. Leave the stars on the bench pls Pep.

Bollocks, we should be beating these with our reserve side

This squad is crying out for some serious pace and athleticism.

 

[Brewster's millions]

No exaggeration to say that’s probably the worst half of football that we’ve played in six and a half years under Guardiola. Absolutely dire stuff. Not a single player has played well. Feel for those who’ve made the trip.

Think you would probably have to go back to Hughes to find a performance as bad as that.

Who saw this coming the commentator said.
Me after the 1st 3 touches by Cancelo

First 5 touches he gave the ball away 4 times

You'd think it was us who were bottom of the league

Saints having their cup final. Maybe if they played like that all season they wouldn’t be bottom of the league!!!
