For the genius that he is, his ego gets massively in the way of what it appears everyone else can see.

Which all suggests that Phil needs to be playing more.

Exactly

From that XI yesterday, only Haaland had any pace in the entire starting team. Not good that.

Said the same before the match. Every time we start Jack and Mahrez together you can predict what is going to happen.

Best we played was when tore the tags to shreds . Foden right jack left

Rodri kdb and Bernardo

Has he played that 6 in those positions since ?

But they are not required to score goals, well this is what this forum tells me. Imagine telling your attacking players are not required to score goals but just keep ball and cost £100m.absolutely ridiculous

I wonder does Pep watch the games back? because surely he cant be entertained by these performances.
Slow , boring and so predictable that even limited teams like Everton and Brentford can take points of us. It's all right saying it's hard against a packed defence and that ls true to a certain extent but it is exactly the reason why you need to move it quickly and run at them.
Grealish gallops towards his own goal quicker than the opposition's, draws a foul in our own half and somehow this is classed as controlled possession football.
Needs to get our best 11 out there and for Goodness sake stop fucking about with the defence.

Agree. More than anything I’m sick of watching a fullback step inside to further congest a midfield. Don’t see how Pep perceives that to be necessary?

Nope. It's bewildering really.

He's obsessed with Grealish. He wanted Jack badly from that contract extension article. But that obsession is hurting the team. I think he likes Jack more than Foden as a player. Due to how Jack can win fouls and control possession. Pep said he doesn't judge Jack on Goals and assists

we didn't sign Jack for goals or assists. He controls the game
