All I am saying is that, Pep should establish system, where everyone has his dedicated position.

If Bernie should be used as n8, then Savio should be starter as RW and Macatee his cover.

Gundo should be used to cover for Kova, cause we have only two players right now, who have experience and quality playing as n6, therefore none of them should be overplayed and have a decent rest instead.

This gives us more energy and competitiveness will help us to bring back fighting spirit.

Result was ok, but today I had a feeling that players lacked energy.

Plus Macatee and Matheus should be tested and it means, that whenever "main starter" isn't available, they should start and prove their worth.

Playing Rico midfield, when we have Macatee and Matheus, I think doesn't make any sense.
 
He’s certainly got his work cut out because he’s currently down to 14 trusted outfielders, but neither Stones nor Foden appear to be 100% fit, so it would have been hugely risky to start either of them in the middle against Joelinton/Giomaraes/Tonali. He now has around ten games to get them all fit and to find the right combinations to use against the harder opponents we will face.
 
I'm just glad we don't see Pep Out clowns anymore!

Like Pep had to win a treble to kick out the bring back Bobby Manc brigade!

Yeah, because saying that, I think he's had a poor start to the season is even remotely close to being 'Pep out'. No... or maybe only in your mind. Could you put the bottle down or press the ignore button? Both if you want to do me a favour!
 
easy to understand why he wanted to prioritise control. but the balance looked off straight away - felt like it needed one of Foden, Savinho or Doku. Lewis, Kovacic and Gundogan in midfield, with Bernardo and Grealish wide, was always likely to be a bit too laboured.

No; the exact opposite. By the way; you said "awful" earlier. Now it's "poor". Which is it?
 
We played much better at Chelsea and W Ham than today. The main difference was that both the team selection and the performance were brave. Today we weren't brave. We won't win anything this season if we play like today.

Pep will try different things till he finds a winning formula. We have a group of players between 20 and 24 y.o. that can save the season by stepping up.

the west ham performance was really good, we looked in mid season form but then came an international break and our rythm got messed up
 
Probably one of the toughest press conferences he's ever faced: "What's the first thing that comes into your mind when you think about Slovakian football?"

Easier questions on Only Connect!
 
Got to wonder if he tells the club his plans over this next international break
They usually announce the extension over the November int break
 
I think that decision will come later on in the season, more likely after the 115 verdict.
I’m not so sure - I think he’s going to let the club know for sure either way before Christmas
Appeals could make 115 drag on for a hell of a lot longer
 
We know with Pep you can’t read into his words, and sometimes translation. I am sure I heard him say in the interview before the game that it’s a long season with lots of games, then we play the club world club, then we are straight back into the new season. He could just have meant the club and players of course, but had a sense he was talking about himself as well, but who knows.

More significant then saying “we” was that it seemed like he was forward thinking and planning for the future.
