They were right, we were toothless up front and woefully exposed at the back

I don't care about the trophy's we will always get them with our backing, I just can't handle the arrogance and ego anymore I'm done with him.

3 losses vs Tuchel and not in one of those games have we set-up in our normal system(4-3-3) whilst Tuchel has set-up Chelsea exactly the same everytime.
Fa cup 4-2-3-1
League 3-1-4-2
Champs 4-2-2-2
Cant wrap my head around it, our best performance was the league where we matched their system and should have been 2-0 up if Serge didn't flop his paneka pen, so that worked offensively, why not at least try that(if you must experiment) again but with our better, inform players starting instead?
What even was his idea behind 2 false 9s? With no one to run in behind the players they dragged out anyway? We didn't have anyone in midfield(Gundo and Bernie) to break the line with take-ons to put Chelsea on the back foot, all their defending except Eddy ping to Sterling was done in front of them. It was so easy for them.
Mahrez was one dimensional came for the ball everytime so all Chilwell had to do is follow him tightly easy night and Sterling wouldn't have got the better of James if they were still out their now. Foden was anonymous at cf. With the 3 players all struggling in their positions why not interchange them rather than sticking with something that quite clearly wasn't working?
The loss is on Pep, we weren't set-up with a chance of winning, 2nd best all over the pitch, knew the game was over when we came out for the 2nd half with the same team and set-up. Needs some champions league tinkering shock therapy.

You have to learn from your mistakes. I don't want to lose Pep, the grass isn't greener anywhere else I can assure you; but he never seems to learn from his.He has been amazing for us,i wouldnt want anyone else at the helm,but he let us down last night with those tactics.It also makes his decisions in the FA Cup semi all the more farcical.
How the fuck did he get it so wrong three times on the bounce? That should not be happening.

Still can’t believe he binned off a winning formula that came back from behind against Dortmund and PSG.
Really did appear to zap the confidence out of the players and also the fans.
Everyone knew when the team selection was out that he had fucked up, but at the time you just hope and pray it will work, but in the CL it never does

Absolutely furious at three things:
Changing a team tactic and dynamic that rolled over the top of Dortmund and PSG. Experiments on a game he had absolutely no right to. One game in 84 was it with no holding midfielder?
Stands and watches his tactics fail for 80 mins before changing them, leaving too little time for the change in tactics to take effect. We dominated the last 10/15 once Sterling and Bernardo came off.
Starting an out of form Sterling and leaving our club legend on the bench. Aguero would have given everything, fucking everything that game, instead we had Sterling toddling about falling over the ball.

Read again our exchange from December. I was perfectly right that we were going to get better and win the PL, you were completely wrong that we were declining under Pep.It’ll also be full of happy clappers like you.
And I was perfectly right also that those who thought Pep was finished and we were declining under him were fucking stupid.

Pep has done so much for us but he fucked up big style last night.
As a fanbase we had no confidence in that team selection and in their hearts the players undoubtedly felt the same.
At these moments Pep needs someone forceful in his ear telling him no.

So he isn’t as “ruthless” as some suggest.To keep players happy.
