I find it baffling when most of those players were in the team against Arsenal and you'd also expect most of them, esp KDB, Gundogan, Bernardo, and Haaland to start against Leipzig. I would have expected some of the midfielders to have come off. Can't see KDB being able to do much Wed, three games in 7 days is a lot at his age and at this level of competition.He had a number of options to react to a changing Forest game management . He froze again. 87 minutes to make meaningful subs is an insult.
And that is exactly what I ment by wasting all the possession we had. Part of having possession is creating chances. We did. But we didn’t finish it. We spoiled numerous chances and opportunities. For that we spoiled all the possession we had.We didn’t waste possession for more than hour though…
That was one of our best team performances of the season. Pep set them up perfectly, they broke Forest down constantly, and his selection was obviously spot on. First had no chances, the Bernardo LB/box to box midfielder thing worked better than ever.
But the players have to finish the chances.
The problem is that Pep sees his side create chance after chance and limit the opposition to nothing and rightly thinks “this game is going well let’s keep doing this” meanwhile people like you are going “oh my god this is awful wasting possession”.
Kdb didn't do much today either.I find it baffling when most of those players were in the team against Arsenal and you'd also expect most of them, esp KDB, Gundogan, Bernardo, and Haaland to start against Leipzig.

So the point of possession is creating chances and finish at least more than one from the total we had todays. Therefore we spoiled the possession. Simple.So the point of possession is creating chances and you admit we created chances.
But when we didn't take our chances, he should have acted with some subs/tactics. He was as much to blame as the players imo.Today was all on the players. Anyone that blames pep for that needs to give their head a serious fucking wobble.
Should have scored 4 or 5. Should have delivered a clean sheet.
Everyone saw it coming. Ake on we win the game. Game management is shocking.every single city fan could tell you we should have subbed on nathan fucking ake in the 70th minute. everyone but one. nah, that's too obvious!
But you don’t know that for a fact do you?Everyone saw I coming. Ake on we win the game. Game management is shocking.
why we created 20+ chances it was just the players not convertingBut when we didn't take our chances, he should have acted with some subs/tactics. He was as much to blame as the players imo.
I agree to a certain extent, but if those same players aren’t finishing simple chances maybe a sub like Alvarez would, but give him enough time to do so.Today was all on the players. Anyone that blames pep for that needs to give their head a serious fucking wobble.

absolute shite. How many chances do his tactics need to make?But when we didn't take our chances, he should have acted with some subs/tactics. He was as much to blame as the players imo.
The players not converting was a reason to change the players. Alvarez for KDB was an obvious change that could have happened way earlier. Also Mahrez for Foden or Grealish was an option. Or brining on Ake.why we created 20+ chances it was just the players not converting
We were creating enough chances not to tinker with personnel or tactics. Those on the pitch should have done their job.I agree to a certain extent, but if those same players aren’t finishing simple chances maybe a sub like Alvarez would, but give him enough time to do so.
Problem is most didBut you don’t know that for a fact do you?
