I love Pep :-)

 

[RayCTID]

Says Kevin Keegan?

Spartacus but close

 

[Gobshiight]

Pep loves Torres

 

[FantasyIreland]

Next years strikers:

Haaland
Torres

I'm honestly fine with that and was before tonight!

And Pep has more or less just clarified that thinking.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

Nothing changes, still second and still shit !

Hmmmm....finish second and need binoculars to see your local rivals disappear over the horizon with the title wrapped up.....
I think he needs to look closer at who looks more like Celtic.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Couple of options for the final materialized tonight, using Jesus out right and Torres up front. Certainly from the subs bench things are looking much better. And we're record breakers again.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Sniffer Ferran ,Pep.

 

[give it to gordon]

Never seen Pep so excited lol

 

[stan bowles]

Pep talking up Ferran big time.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I'm really starting to feel sorry for Sterling, he looks completely lost and out of place in this team currently. He is getting game time to play himself back into for but, he seems to get worse.

That aside, good game and a good win. Well done blues

He’s got to get his head down and keep working. It will come

 

[nu774ll]

Sounds like we're going for Haaland :)

Haaland and torres as strikers for next season, come stop us world!

 

[WyongBlue]

Got the 3pts onto the next match...........

 

[Seedy Ron]

Pep is the best manager we will ever have. I’d given him a 5 year extension tomorrow. What a guy!

 

[brummie blue]

Pep's really happy, has he been on the wine already?

 

[paulsimpson]

Ake - Demonstrating that he is not a great defender
Mendy - A dreadful defender that is slow and also cannot cross a ball!
Cancelo - Good going forward, but a complete liability as a left back!
Sterling - Passenger and each week convinves me he wants out!

Aké had a much much better 2nd half . He will be here next season
Sterling isnt going anywhere I think. He played well for first 15-20 but then faded and lost possession a lot. Has to improve. Lacks confidence.
Cancelo agreed
Mendy has faded too.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Listening to Pep after match talk Torres just nailed on a start in the CL final

For who though

Fantastic performance by him and he deserves a slot but can’t see who for

 

[burning blue soul]

Newcastle put out their strongest team, we put out our circus/frankenstien 11 and still won, and made history!
Good entertaining game, and it achieved the desired effect - we know who can rise to the occasion, and who is still in the doldrums.
No real downside to tonight. Just confirmation of problems already known.

 

[Revolver]

Ake has hardly played this season. Far too early to make judgements ( people have written off Mahrez and Stones). Jesus is a brilliant squad player. No lack of effort from Raheem but it’s not happening at the moment. He may have peaked but he deserves our respect.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Pep sounds very excited about Torres :)

Yep. But people on here want us to spunk £150m on a player that never played in England and has Mino Raiola as his agent...Makes sense.

 

[give it to gordon]

Thought Andrew Cole was ok to be fair
