He can be all that but he also can have the occasional brain farts. Especially when it comes to anfield. He sent a message to the players today before a ball was kicked that he didn’t believe they could win without tactical tweaks.

It is not the first nor the last time we see him change a winning system for fear of the opposition and occasion.
We tweak tactically every single game nearly.

Southampton was different to the week before.
 
Why so angry? I’m just encouraging you to keep threatening imaginary people for saying imaginary things.
Do you think “fuck off pep” as a comment, which isn’t imaginary, is acceptable?
 
Last season: Chelsea two victories, United two victories, PSG 1 victory and 1 defeat where we were better, we toyed with Madrid and the players lost it losing chance after chance, Liverpool we were far superior and the players fail chance after chance. Literally he got every big game spot on last season. What the fuck are you talking about? Chelsea at UCL is the last time he made a big mistake.
It's almost 50/50 in big games though that's the point. When he plays to our strengths 4-3-3 in big games we usually win. When he starts playing 5-3-2, 3-4-3 or playing players out of posistion we always lose and it happens far too much in big games.

I think you’ve never cared about people telling all of our players to fuck off, and are now pathetically clinging on to one comment to cover up you getting into a furious rant about something that never happened - people calling for Pep to get fired.

We have different tactics for every single game. For example against Liverpool last season, we play long balls to the space, and we had 4-5 clear 1v1 thanks to that tactic. The final result? A draw because our players missed chance after chance.

I don't think he got much wrong today. Liverpool didn't create any danger in FH and we had Haaland's header, a 1v1 from Haaland, a Foden chance...SH we were even better and they only had Salah 1v1, until they scored the goal. That's taking into account that all our offensive players were really poor with their decisions today.

The mentality going into this game was wrong. He has the team feeling inferior before a ball is kicked. The use of players showed Liverpool we feared them. Of course we tweak most games but in this case it was because we had no believe we could win at anfield.

Last season against Liverpool at Etihad we changed our formation, and we destroyed them thanks to that. Against Chelsea on Stamford same, PSG at Etihad two seasons ago same... No our problem that you only remember the times we lose. The only big game in the last 3 years that Pep really screwed was the UCL final. And yeah of course it's not gonna be 90/10 against the biggest teams, that's why they are the biggest, but last season we had 11 big matches and we only lost 2, and we dominated every single one of them.

I disagree. Our lineup was more attacking than it usually is at Anfield with the inclusion of Gundogan imo.

Last season (h)vs Liverpool we played 4-3-3 + we didn't 'destroy them'

Last season (a)vs Chelsea we played 4-3-3

UCL PSG semis (h+a) we played 4-3-3

We played False 9' in all these games, probably why you think we change formations.
