We are on very different pages.

Our football is dreadful,its a million miles from the brilliance we have come to expect,and while some of that may have spoiled me/us.....we should not be playing this backwards/sideways/negative shite.

That first half last night,against an Arsenal B team,was fucking painful.

Its' dreadfully boring. Is it bad football? Depends what you want from football? Do you want to be entertained? If so, then our first halves this season have not been for you. Do you want to appreciate we're working things out, a football puzzle, only to be solved by repeatedly not playing through balls to our huge fast striker, then this year has been a pleasure. Do you just want to win, is winning the ONLY thing that matters - then it's been alright i suppose.

We have come to expect? Speak for yourself. I hope I’m not that entitled

Hey now.. you're not giving Pep enough respect!!!

Have you so easily forgotten:

1. Phil Foden left back in the champions league!
2. Ederson started out as a left back
3. Ortega & James trafford goal keepers?

And maybe the solution to our left back problem is getting another center back??

It'll sound crazy but he'll come up with a system that works! ;)
 
Get the feeling Pep is either well up for a re-build or a walk-out, hope it's the former but obviously lots going on behind the scenes

unironically i believe Pep changed his affinity from midfielder to CB...there could be a scenario where we buy a CB who can play LB as a back-up for Ake (cheaper version of Gvardiol)...lol...hard times for pep fans like myself who fell in love with the "old" Pep
 
will see if this Cancelo saga will galvanize the team or the opposite, can see it being a less popular decision with the Portuguese team mates.
or what about the ones that have also being benched lot more these days like Walker, Bernardo etc.
will they get in line or get their agents on the hotline.

far from ideal to be fair when we are going into a make or break period of the season.

unlikely we are stronger without Cancelo than with him, but if his form is bad and also sulking and creating tension in trainings, Pep thought probably we absolutely have no way allowing his sulking these next few weeks to continue given the high stakes involved with 4 away league games in PL in February plus a CL away tie plus an FA cup game.
 
I am not sure if the timing of the Cancelo falling out was in the last few days giving he was being pushed out of the team since the world cup

In any case , I don’t think that a replacement was going to be purchased in January

As we know Pep has a unique way of playing and every position requires time and understanding before it becomes effective. Trying to implement and integrate that in the key part of season is something we never seem to do.

I fully expect 3 or 4 major signings in the summer as it looks at least Cancelo and Bernardo will leave. Will not be surprised to see a couple more go as Pep looks to refresh for a new challenge.

Next season will be even more challenging given the strengthening from the likes of Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal and United in particular.
 
Pep is under huge pressure to win something big, given Haaland, Alvarez and the brilliant squad. He and the club will be mocked if we win nothing (big). Hopefully Pep will deal with the pressure in the best possible way.

I agree. Pep and the club shouldn't be mocked no matter what happens this season, given we won 4 from the last 5 titles. But we know the nature of the (red/social) media, they'd love it if we failed...
