Monaco - Post Match thread.

Congrats to Monaco, we were shit. Players and management found wanting yet again

That's football. We weren't quite good enough on the day, but I think you have to support the team and the coach. He knows what he is doing. We didn't take our chances. That's not Pep's fault. He picked the right team. The only questionable decision was Kolarov over Otamendi.

Just didn't turn up first half, poor display, missed Yaya, second half bit more urgency but they sat back. Disappointed, let ourselves down. Feel we limped out of it rather than went out fighting. Sad.

Yaya instead of DeBruyne

Awful first half from us but it summed it up for me with that stupid fucking wall for the freekick, we DO NOT work on defensive tactics, it's just hit and miss and a pure gamble every game we play, a lot of that is on Pep tonight. We only had to go there tonight and not concede. Pellegrini was hounded for being a 1 trick pony yet this guy gets a very easy ride for me, yes it isn't his team but it is no excuse to not adapt the tactics once in a while. All of the best managers do it.

I don't think this was down to defending. Tactics lost us the game.

No one ever said we would, progress is all we want, especially after we've moved hell and earth to get this guy here. I'm all for giving him time, but the fact is that we have not moved forwards at all.

The single positive right this second is Sane, IMHO.

mate, i think we just need time. let him bring his own players in and get the right team together. its gonna be a long term project. it is disappointing going out, but hopefully we do well in the fa cup

How can people blame pep for the players not being able to make a simple pass???? That entire first half the players gave the ball away every chance they could get. One touch in their penalty box the entire first half is not peps fault

This time next season (providing we are still the competition) we will be an improved team.

We've went backwards from last season though.

Shocked he didnt replace Kdb with yaya......

Kdb had a shocker all night ( no one played well but he was the worst)..and it was crying out for Yaya to give us that control or pick out that pass over the top.

The money we've spent on defenders would probably cover that Monaco starting 11. Need a different approach than cheque book management.
