Rodri's worst game in a long time.

Lewis being hung out to dry on that side.

Ake our best defender. Move him out to left-back, bring on Laporte.

Kev in for Alvarez and maybe Gundo for Bernie after 70 minutes.

Can't fault the tempo or desire, but Pep's tactical shapes are leaving us fighting with one hand tied behind our backs far too often right now.

spot on Tolms

 

[give it to gordon]

We need to get Phil into form he makes us tick

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Take that one mistake out by Rodri & we’ve been much the better side, we’ve got Kev to come on, this game isn’t done by a long way, we’re 50% better off than the home game

We don't create many chances .

 

[VOOMER]

Something certainly isn't right.
We're not tiring in games, we're barely turning up.
We're no longer a 'Pep team'

We have played some of our key players into the ground and the youth project is simply an ATM.

 

[DMA's]

great goalscorer but he is a big lump at times

He really isn’t. His link up play and passing is far far superior to haalands. Haaland obviously has elite athleticism and they are both great finishers. Still think Kane would fit us better

 

[feelymcfeel]

Micah brilliant spurs team goal?
Wtf it was our shit defending

I used to like Richards as a pundit but he's actually clueless.

 

[K-Bo]

this tactical set uo stinks lol, pep is alienating a lot of top players to make it work and there's no evidence it's a step forward in the slightest. We've never had a brilliant game playing like this.

 

[Keeper!]

The players seem fed up of the tactics as well to be honest

I think that's been as issue for sometime

 

[Lankers]

I think what we're seeing at the moment is similar to what Liverpool are going through. It's been five years, with relatively the same creative midfield and the key players (De Bruyne, gundogan & Bernardo and to a lesser extent Foden) are burnt out.

Obviously, Foden and De Bruyne need resting. But we really should be replacing Bernardo and Gundogan with younger, fresher players.

My thoughts exactly

Me too - it’s all very odd, scratching my head here - changes needed
