Yeah but you said Doku was a lazy fucker in a post on Monday, but today Pep should have brought him on, fans like you need to make there minds up.
He is a lazy fucker but you put him on against a player on yellow, we were already behind had fuck all too lose, you don’t play him from the start because he doesn’t track back but if you are chasing the game you’ve fuck all to lose.
 
Yeah and I've already said before that seeing them in training doesn't tell the whole story, you have to give them consistent minutes to see if they are good enough, he didn't see anything in Palmer, Lavia, Rogers in training either.
That’s not true though, is it? Palmer was given plenty of opportunities but his style of play didn’t allow him to flourish for us. The other two weren’t good enough to play for us. Them doing well years later at teams that aren’t as good as ours in a different system doesn’t prove that otherwise

Palmer didn't look great up until a couple of weeks before he left when he scored against Arsenal and Sevilla, it was clear he was starting to show his quality and then he left.
 
John is injured again , we dropped off pressing to acomodate walker, pep says
Oh yeah that highly effective press as evidenced by the first Villa goal, and how exactly did we drop off pressing in the second half when Walker was in the opponent's half getting done by Rogers for the second goal ?

He was given opportunities and only left because Chelsea put in what was an absurd offer for a promising but mostly unproven player.
 
Yeah yeah.you are the expert and not pep
Ok so why was Walker pushing up in the opponent's half for the second goal ? was he ignoring Pep's instructions ? if that's the case he shouldn't play another game for the club again.
 
If it was just Palmer I wouldn't have a problem with it, but when you add in Lavia, Rogers, even Frimpong, questions need to be asked, I think that's fair.
Putting you on ignore as you are wumming the fuck out of this thread and or slagging pep for not doing what you ,the expert, wants him to do

Well I'm sorry for asking questions about a run that includes losing 9 games out of 12, you can call it slagging Pep off all you want, I think I'm asking fair questions without crossing the line into nonsensical rants, but feel free to ignore me.

Mate, none of these other players you are listing were good enough to play for us at the time and if you’d asked fans at the start of the season, the majority wouldn’t have wanted them in our squad, let alone our starting XI.

Lavia is a sick note, Frimpong is a wingback who wouldn’t suit our system and Rogers looks great when he has space to run at players but hasn’t shown any evidence that he would cope with the kind of low block we face game in game out.

That doesn’t even account for the fact that they’ve now had experience (at teams worse than ours) in senior football that has made them better players than they were when they played for us. Would you have played Lavia instead of Rodri in one of our PL winning seasons? Or Rogers instead of Foden?

I’m all for giving youth a chance if they’re good enough and we’ve seen Pep do it. He’s done it with Foden, Palmer, Bobb and Lewis because he felt they were good enough to be given those opportunities at the highest level
 
I constantly defend Pep on the basis that with the same players Pellegrini would have won maybe 2 leagues in the time Pep has been here rather than 6. Same applies to Roberto.
Pep's seen off Jürgen and Arteta.
But the results recently have been shocking and the performance even worse.
I think Pep is done. Obviously noone will ever sack possibly the greatest manager anywhere ever. So for me it's up to him. But 1 win in 12 could become 1 win in 20 and for a club with so many still good players it raises the question about whether he should continue.

Foden wasn't good enough to play for us in 2019 either mate, he was still given significant minutes to prove his talent and to keep him at the club, same thing with Lewis over the past two seasons, wasn't good enough to start but was still given game time, I argue we should've done the same with some of the players mentioned, either that or buy some fucking players, we did neither and we're in trouble, all of the players mentioned could help us now even Pedro Porro as well.

As for Palmer like I said he let him go just when he started to show his quality, allowing him to leave after Mahrez left didn't make sense despite the money from Chelsea, it left us with no Right wingers, similiar to selling Alvarez leaving us with no backup striker, a terrible decision.
