Love Pep's attitude , the Carabao Cup was the least important for us but he still despised losing and took a booking for his frustration , if you want an example of a serial winner , look no further

I don't know why Pep doesn't moan and complain in Spanish or German or whatever other language he speaks. Might stop the 4th official ratting on him to the ref.
 
No I`m not talking about his team selections but his manner which may (MAY) have cost us today, with him being sat in the stands due to his three bookings.
I know we won our two previous games without him, but its games like this when the going gets tough that normally he can sort it out from the touchline. However its not easy to say the least when passing messages from the stands.
May be it was one of those games today when it was a bad day at the office, but we can`t afford any further setbacks, so maybe Pep also needs to look in the mirror after he quite rightly was critical of Rodders sending off last week.
Yes I know its early season and plenty to play for but come on Pep you should be more calmer to avoid these silly bookings. I imagine and I don`t know but he probably has been in the fourth refs ear hole which has resulted in these bookings.
Right boys lets go get a good win in Switzerland next Wednesday.

Formation was the downfall today, giving walker the right wing when he does nothing with it.

Crying out for width on the right instead of flooding the middle where they were strongest.
 
I love Pep but Pep looks like an idiot for letting Perrone go on loan.

Perrone at Las Palmas looks like a 45 mil international defensive midfielder and Kalvin looks like a fringe player trying to break into the team.

Incredibly bad judgment there. Oh well hindsight is 20/20 and Pep will show me I'm an idiot before the end of the season.

Carry on! <3 u Pep!
 
Defeat lays on his shoulders today and his alone.

Why's he playing kovacic as the solo 6, when he's never been able to do it? Why's he playing nunes further up where he's occupying space doku wanted to run into instead of alongside kovacic? What was the idea behind the Bobb sub? He's clearly seen its not working but he's changed nothing tactically by bringing him on, just asked him to play out of position doing the same role as Nunes in the same ineffective formation.

He better find answers for next weekend otherwise we get royally fucked by arsenal and the good start we've had is totally eradicated within a week.
 
Poor from the boss today.

I understand we have big players missing etc. but he just made shite decisions today.

Not to mention that fact he was missing from the touchline through his own stupidity. He has a go at Rodri for being stupid and then does it himself!

I think he does, on occasion, underestimate lower placed opposition and assumes things will work against them. I am sure he wouldn't have made the same decisions against a top 6 team.

No he doesn’t , when lower teams play so deep and on the break we sometimes struggle to break them down and get caught. Nothing to do with underestimating. It’s just a consequence of how we play.I’m pretty used to it now and expect in a handful of games a season. Don’t know why others get surprised by it. It is what it is.

You would have thought we could have come up with a method of breaking them down by now as it has been going on for a good few years.

Not sure he could do much today with the players he had available. 4 guaranteed starters injured/ suspended. Getting banned today is his crime knowing the current situation.
 
I know it’s a bit pointless to have a gripe with Pep, but is it not a bit hypocritical to go on about players needing to keep a cool head when he has managed to get three yellows in five games? If anything he should have a much easier time keeping calm because he’s in no danger of physical injury. A very minor thing in comparison to all the good he has done here but it still annoyed me.
