Why do we play so high up with no pace! It’s costing us every week. Lucky to get away with that

It’s strange. Because we’re struggling to break teams down so the simplicity of me would be to say drop deep with the ball and invite teams to press us so we can play through them. But then Pep obviously likes to compress the pitch and pin teams in

Mahrez esque touch there...

You must watch a lot of games with the sound off then, there's far worse than him!

No one is worse than Gallagher!! :-)

City, mi buen amigo,
Esta campaña volveremos a estar contigo,
Te alentaremos de corazón,
Esta es la hinchada que te quiere ver campeón,

Is that Noel on the TNT comms? Has anyone had a famous fan on comms before on a CL game? Or any game for that?

Not comms but United fan Howard Webb has a bit on Sky Sports

 

[Solatron]

Great touch from the new Mahrez

 

[M23 Citizen]

Oh my God that was a Mahrez level first touch, incredible son!

 

[ufo]

[vanchi]

If we had one player drop 5/10 yards we would be ok

pep doesn’t seem to mind, they’re all doing what they’re told to do eh. bad for our nerves though.
