On reflection what appeared to be a couple of great transfer windows culminating with the arrival of Haaland now seem disappointing with Grealish not adding as much as the loss of Jesus, or even Sterling. Phillips well who the hell knows, Gomez for Zinchenko is a negative. Alvarez cannot get a start and I'm not sure our style of possession slow play suits him.

People really underestimated Zinchenko. He was such a big part of our build up play in so many matches.

Very intelligent passer, always moved the ball quickly.
 
I’ll say this before I say cheerio. The lack of faith some have when we are barely half way through a season is embarrassing.

So you’re not worried as regards to how the team is playing then, I’m not talking about the title race or halfway through the season, just the team performances ?

Our fans have became arrogant. He’s brought us so much joy over the years. Missing out on the title would be disappointing, especially as it would make it three in a row. But the prem is full of quality managers and teams. We haven’t got the right to win it every season. We’re not out of it yet either.
 
Seemingly hasn't a clue what lineup/system will currently bring us most cohesion and success.His lack of use of subs,when he has clearly got it wrong,is also baffling.

This problem started before the World Cup.
 
When will people learn…

Stop reacting to every fecking game like Chris Sutton !!

16 games gone, 22 to go and we have an intense period of games coming up.

Plenty of time and points to play for.

Keep calm and stop being sheeple!

Happy 2023 ya’ll !

Pep has to drill into the team the fact that having Haaland doesn't mean the other players can't score. We need to remember we won the title twice without a recognised striker. Only Foden and Alvarez seem to want to score themselves.

The other players all seem happy to pass it around until they can look to play to Haaland. Trust our usual process and get the other players stepping up. It might mean we ignore a bursting run from him on occasion but that is the balance the side is still failing to get right. Haaland isn't involved much in the rest of the game, and whilst we laugh at that when he has 21 goals in the league, we have fewer points than we would expect, and that's because we are not playing to create chances and score as a team, we are seemingly just waiting for a chance to find him. And it's costing us.
 
Weird one, when the modern game is all about pace but Pep sets us up & asks players to play a game without using pace.
What i know about football you could put on a pin head compared to Pep but its weird to me.
 
Can’t really understand the thinking at the moment. He’s obviously, from the start of the season, had a clear idea of a preferred way of setting up to get the best out of Haaland - full back tucking in with Rodri, two advanced midfielders (with Gundogan looking to get up alongside Haaland), inverted wingers. But it’s just not clicked, nor does it look like clicking. We’re too slow in attack with Grealish and Mahrez, we lack a goalscorer beyond Haaland, teams are happy to allow our fullbacks to have the ball, knowing they pose very little threat (esp. without Cancelo in the side). And we look weak defensively, not helped by the constant changes.
All pretty frustrating, and needs sorting as soon as possible if we’re going to be in with any chance of staying with Arsenal.
Can’t help but think a more orthodox back four, Bernardo alongside Rodri, De Bruyne as the 10, and Foden in the front three would serve us better.
 
All about control and the players not Overexertion themselves because of the amount of games we have coming up! It’s worked last few season and we ended up strong to the last game of the season! We will see if Arsenal approach of 100mph football will get them over the line..

On the back of a World Cup, why has he decided to play roughly the same team for 3 tough games in 9 days and the other hardly used off the bench.
Wouldn’t mind if it was his best team

One of those players, KDB looked shattered about half way through the first half yet stayed on.
 
doing a great job,2nd in the league,through in the champs league, through in the fa cup,through in the league cup , won 4 of the last 5 titles , changed english football pretty much through every league, not looked but probably has the highest win percentage of any pl manager , wouldn't swap him or his ideas for anyone, and a home draw with everton wont change that.

Yeah it’s just the way football is the more you win the more you want to in more! We are spoiled really we just won back to back titles and we greedy for a 3rd! Eventually we will fall back into the pack and will go years without winning the league because one thing for certain nothing lasts for ever! As long as we keep competing for the big titles Trophies and can live with that after the 10/12 years we have had! Love us to win champs league to round it all off before pep leaves…
