Ended the half ok, they will hopefully run themselves into the ground second half.

For me the issue in this game is very clear its the lack of striker. not because of scoring but because when the opposition adopt a mid press we need a focal point to build our attacks and release our wingers.

No end product in final third…

A 96th minute winner delayed by 5 mins whilst they try and rule it out will do me.

Love pep and I agree with everything he does and support him. But to me dias and stones are a lot better then laporte.

Yep,and we are better with Gundo for Kev.

Sterling wasn’t good but far from the worst on pitch.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Isn't that what he said? Grealish was the pick of the half.

Yes, I was agreeing with him/her. They were disagreeing with someone who thought Grealish needed taking off at half time.

Whole team bar Grealish has been way below par. Can't blame Sterling for their goal, we weren't exposed, just poor. You can blame Sterling for not scoring an equaliser - we all know he has that in his locker but still frustrating when he's been in such good form. Joao has been given so many chances to put in a good ball and hasn't done so once. I don't like Kevin and Bernardo in midfield. Laporte has been shaky again.

I'd give it 10 minutes then bring on Gundo and Jesus for KDB and Sterling.

Even Grealish has been far too slow with everything he’s done. Nobody has played well, nobody had played poorly, we’re just below par and need to liven up and play with more intensity.

Grealish has been our best player

Oh fuck off man. How can you watch that 45 and think Grealish was the issue??

Don't worry about it mate. It's just people trying to deflect the bullets away from Sterling.

 

[Tevez City]

Gundo on for KDB please Pep.

Big balls needed for this decision.
