I love Pep. It's hard not to. He is the greatest club football Manager of my lifetime. Of that I have no doubts.
But at this point, a choice has to be made. Either bench the aging players who clearly don't have the physical ability to do what his system requires or change the system. That 2nd goal does not happen on a team with a low block. That is a tactical decision.
We are not going to be very good this season. But w don't need to be bad either. We can be average.
Right now, we are being bad and that's unacceptable. Being bad is a choice. Being average might not be, but being bad is! And we are currently making that choice to be bad.
And in my humble and uninformed opinion....
That is on Pep!!!

Do the same, play the old players and lose or play some fresh legs in midfield and see what happens? He will do the same for sure against villa cos theyve had a week off, but the same players are still knackered and slow and the same result will ensue.

I didn’t know he had dandruff

We won i think the first three games ? Memory is bad so hope that is right , we did it without rodders
The only thing that changed is kova got injured and then more and more injured and some left playing wifh injuries
Gundy has had to be flogged , keeper keeps changing which imo is something you should never do , without a good defence it has been much more difficult to build up from the back, the defensive injuries are killing us
Bernie is running on fumes after years of running about like mad, kev is trying to come back to us , phil has been ill for ages
Taking all that into account pep can fix this when the lads can all play again but he must change the tactics to get us through this bad patch , he has been forcing his idea of beautiful football but it is not working . It will come again but till then adjust
