Let’s just right this season off……

 

[Dialog]

Er.............

Do you think otherwise?

 

[skillman]

The Bernie and Kovacic midfield combo is boring me to sleep. I love them both individually but they’re not offering anything together. You’d assume they’re being preferred to maintain possession and offer a bit of protection but that’s just not happening.

 

[Beanhead]

How the fuck have we become this shit? Like what the hell is going on?

Rodri. Same thing happened when he missed games last season.

 

[christened at st marks]

Lewis is a kid but has no defensive IQ

 

[Blu1]

I'd take erling off.
Play dok through the middle.

People might not rate him but he causes panic in the oppo.

Erl a passenger again.

100% I love haaland but he’s not working in this team / tactics

 

[chesterbells]

I see Rico is tonight's scapegoat.

Isn’t that often the case? I know I for one seem to be critical of him on a regular basis.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Sporting attack and they just play whatever through ball might be on, not caring if it’s intercepted. They go for it because they know it’s a goal scoring chance if they complete it. We attack and we reject through balls because there’s a safer pass on. We’re not good enough defensively to be actively not trying to score.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

The core of our squad is injured, Players are ancient and the system that served us well for years has been cracked.

We are playing like it’s 3 years ago with older players and key players missing. It’s just annoying

Anyway come on lads

 

[Blue and true]

brutal in what way?

Brutal as in we completely crumble and Pep doesn't leave on a high? I get the good times can't last forever but it'd be nice to send him off with one more major trophy.

The way we're playing, we'll struggle for fourth.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

We are gradually getting worse and worse no process no outlet don’t care if we changed and went direct but we’re so scared of giving the ball away we can’t do anything positive

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Yippee we are beating them in pass accuracy

Throw in gundo and nunes
Fuck me!

 

[Victorinodennistua]

I’m sure that tomorrow morning you’ll read that it was because the worlds finest up & coming coach gave an incredible team talk.

Just come out of the shower and we’re getting beat by this bang average team. Wtf has happened?

 

[I'm not really here]

No I am calm enough, but I can't see where he benefits to the club..

Defensively ? no
In midfield ? no.. just when I was posting made another stupid mistake in the centre and lost the ball..
Attacking wise ? no

Or we are having some kind of quota for dumb fucks ? if that's the case then OK.
Otherwise he won't even be playing first team for the championship teams and you all know that's true..
Not even talking about PL...

I'm guessing this twats been booted off the forum?

 

[Bluewonder]

Let’s just right this season off……

We're 2nd in the league and 5th in the CL you daft ****

 

[Millennium]

We are easily passed by all teams. why Pep can't see the weakness? what's going on? It is obvious that we have an obvious defencive weaknesses

 

[carlosthejackal]

Serious serious problems with this squad

 

[Chak19]

Does Pep realise we're losing by two goals ?

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Let’s just right this season off……

That was already decided in summer transfer window
