One defeat and these people are calling for Pep to go.
How many? 2?

What point are you making? Just so I know how to react to your next post.How many? 2
And it's the same posts every time we lose one or two games. Could fill a bingo card at this point.Dear fucking me, the state of this thread.
I agree with the sentiment, but tbf there was a significant difference ahead of this season - both the Champions League and Club World Cup were expanded and involve more fixtures. So whilst Pep’s approach absolutely has worked, I think he should also have been able to adapt and suitably expand his squad in line with the expanding tournaments. His approach works, but for me, the magic number of players to run with has now increased. And not unpredictably so, as we were saying this in the summer before a ball was kicked.On the one hand, we are clearly paying the price for Pep's 'oh I hate leaving players out of the XI so I'd rather just not have any players' philosophy.
On the other hand, this is the first time in nine years that it might genuinely cost us a title. He's earned our trust, surely? Even if I personally would much rather he dealt with a few disgruntled players than this, but clearly his approach works well for the most part.

Normally yes. But the amount of injuries are too much. We are one of best in world but no team can cope with that many of their players missing. Picture victims without salah van dijk diaz. Ars without rice odegaard saliba.We could lose in the chumps and against Brighton next week and I would still fancy us to be thereabouts come the business end of the season.
I know.Fucking hell
only read this page, but Pep out?
