People slated Pep because he never had a plan B and now we seem to be finding 1 gets tons of shit YCNMIU.

There does seem to be a conundrum around the players “match fitness” any PT’s Physios Sports Science people out there hazard a guess at why we seem to be more affected than others? Is it just a perfect storm, short pre season, too much football, travel, enforced rest periods (due to amount of games) tired minds, the way we play, are we over science’ing things? for one reason or another we seem to be holding back substitutions, ignore yesterday as I think both managers where waiting for the other to blink (tactically) and we seem to be making less changes to the starting eleven, not got the stats

Several of ours had covid

What position in the table is pragmatic Pep aiming for - 10th ?

A little unfair. Criticise him for some things by all means but I believe his “pragmatic” policy is designed simply to stabilise us in the short term. It’s not natural Pep, nor is he renowned for aspiring to mid table.

 

[damrider]

"pragmatic" is a nice word for what pep has been through this season so far, which is cowardly.

It’s the Lilo effect!

Do you mean deflating with a fart-like sound?

 

[sir baconface]

Fast forward to now, Pep’s entered his 5th season with us - he’s not rebuilding someone else’s side, this is HIS side! Yes football is cyclical and yes we need a small rebuild but we have a much better squad now that what he inherited. We have players that fundamentally understand what pep wants and expects. In short, we shouldn’t need such a transition to take place and if we do then that’s a failure on pep and the club.

Really?

If Dias had been signed last season, I do believe we would have gone very close in the Champions League.

There is a degree of pragmatism we now have which is more suited to the slower Champions League pace.

You say that, but our form after he arrived was better than the rest of the 19/20 season had been prior to that point. Including the parts Arteta was here for.
