he needs to sack his little mate next to him. we regressed during lillos first spell and have done in his second.

Him and Scott Caeson, that'll explain it.

That's nothing, I heard we got a new tea lady in who buys Tetleys instead of PG Tips. Coincidence? I think not.

if you think his number 2 has no input then whats the point in having one... look at us with arteta and maresca compared to under lillo.

It’s certainly an interesting point to raise.

its a hill ill die on. if people choose to ignore it or believe he's fine then whatever but I'm not sure what he brings to the party. his managerial record isn't setting the world on fire either.

this slump is very worrying. losing to Spurs in the Carabao and then we just get deeper and deeper in this hole. imagine all the things he said in trainings since that game , all the things we worked on in trainings and it got us this horror run with horror results.

him saying after the derby he doesnt know what to do maybe he is not good enough. I think partially he is right, he does not know how to turn it around. "give me my players back", he has most of his players available, and they are in dog shit form. absolute no guarantee Stones, Ake, Akanji, Bobb wouldnt be in this lethargic form if they were available. why would they be the exception when almost every single other player are below par right now.

Villa up next, another test, full week to prepare, but problem is Emery is preparing as well.

But how much training time has he actually had with them, look at the fixtures since the fa cup, then the euros, straight into charity shield then premier league a game, a day of recovery one maybe two days training if that, travel to a game, international breaks. If you look when it started it was when we first played 4 aways, so couple travel, recovery I bet he’s had little time to get a team riddled with injuries to gel.
Lewis has been pulled from pillar to post to fill lastly been left back, what time did he have to get ready for that two days, same with Nunes. When we got 4 decent defenders it gave the rest of the team confidence that if they lost the ball it would be recovered that was the Forest game out only win.
I do think he needs stronger support staff to pull him to the side and maybe give his head a wobble to be a little more pragmatic with his tactics with what’s available especially as this is foreign territory for him now.
I fully expect Villa to overrun us and lose again unless he sits back and tries to play in the break, I can but hope we get something.
I just checked the longest we’ve had between games is after Feynoord before Liverpool that was 4 days this is the only time this season barring the international breaks we’ve had more than 5 days for the team to rest and train together!.

I’ve cooled down a bit now after that shit show.

Obviously Pep shouldn’t walk.

Sorry for being a gobby sod.

Welcome back.

Reactions at the time don’t mean much, we all say stupid shit and will continue to do so when emotions are involved.

Less a hill, more of a mound of steaming horse shit, but you do you mate.

 

[Barcon]

I'll ask this again:

Has anybody seen Peps mate around recently? The ex water polo bloke.

I haven't seen him lately and was wondering if he's still around Pep.

You mean…?

That’s Kyle’s personal trainer on the left, btw.

 

[RayCTID]

Nope. Manel Estiarte

I more worried about that clown kit man we had. he left or was made to leave and its all gone to shit. maybe he was the real mastermind in the dressing room???

He is doing his coaching badges now as we post. He will be ready to take over from Pep once Pep gets the players signed for the rebuild. ;-)

What we thought was just him sliding around in his underpants in the dressing room was actually a highly sophisticated tactical demonstration.

We’re nothing without him.

How many months are needed to see if the methods are outdated?

More than 2 I'd say.

Bournemouth and Liverpool apart we have not deserved to lose any of the other games imo even spurs we should have been 2 up before they had a kick of the ball. The capitulation are a worry I will give u that. Think a settled defence and kovacic back in the midfield will help massively a few wins over Xmas will see us right. We are not as bad as its being made out.

I can see where you’re coming from but is it therefore not even more worrying that we have lost 8 of the last 11? I would also counter to say we haven’t deserved to win many of them either - forest game apart.

We may well have not deserved to lose them all but the fact is we have, and losing 8 in 11 proves this is no anomaly. Our current form is what you’d expect of a relegation threatened side not one who battling for top 4.

I'm gonna LOL at everyone here who said Pep should leave/ be sacked every chance I get!

Fucking rags.. the whole lot of you!
