Media discussion - 2025/26

Tbh Pep summarised the game really well. I'm glad he agreed that one of our biggest issues last night was defending too deep against set pieces and their press, which resulted in way too much space on the edge of our box when loose balls went out there. From managing teams myself in the past, that is 101 stuff at any level though, don't leave players in space in that danger zone. I'm hoping he pays specific attention to that going forwards.

Also, was Nico injured? If not, it's weird that despite admitting he is our last standing holding midfielder after Rodri and Kova, he takes him off but leaves Silva on.

Bernado is Peps pet. Only reason he stays on pitch apart from being "captain"

i guess you saw him take one in the nutz and couldnt run he was gassed i agree with silva but he'll play next two games
 
First league game I’ve missed this season, fucking Sky biased as fuck, the commentator and empty head Sutton willing Fulham to beat us, cunts
I genuinely thought the commentator had spaffed himself to the moon when a Fulham player went down in the box late on (after O’ Reilly challenge).

I don't believe that's true mate. I think Pep's trust in Bernardo has to be dwindling though. Until recently he has regarded him as the last of the old golden era team, the one he could trust to keep the ball and settle games down. It's obvious that his ability to do that just isn't there anymore, he is losing possession more than anyone and doesn't have the pace to rectify errors, he also seems very quiet these days. I suspect this will be his last season, certainly as being a regular starter. I reckon, as with Gundo's latter months, Pep has a bit of sentimentality going on and wants to give Bernardo a chance to get back to form, but I suspect this won't happen.

However, as an aside, we need to remember, many other younger players have also not performed well enough regularly this season, so it may be unfair of us to judge Silva purely on age related matters.
