Are you joking? Personnel-wise we're awful.Line-up was bad, the system they were asked to play was even worse and the football on display as a result was refund requestable.
We are still in the Champions League spot runnings in spite of Pep. We shouldn't be as bad as we are with the talent he has at his disposal. Fernandes only United player that'd get in our squad let alone team and yet here we are being worse than them..

Simply isn’t doing his job at the moment and in fact he hasn’t all season.
I’d be surprised if he’s here after the summer.

Yeah the most valuable squad in football is awful.. throw another billion at it, Pep can't work with these bums
I love the man but I have no idea what he was thinking with that starting XI today.
Too many players in that line-up on the basis of their reputation and what they've done for us in seasons past.
Of the entire front 6 only Marmoush played like he had anything to prove or fight for.
We can't keep rewarding poor performances with more game-time. The Guardiola of old wouldn't stand for this.

I'll say it again.
We need FIVE new MIDFIELDERS in.
Gotta replace KDB, Gundo, Bernardo, Kovacic and Stones/ Akanji in midfield.

He’s stolen a living this season. Clearly doesn’t care either, relaxed and casual about it, fair play to him.

After that performance, it doesn't look like he has one more match in him.

Any manager would struggle this season with the amount of injuries to key players and we've just added Haaland to that list.Are you joking? Personnel-wise we're awful.
All of them his signings.Tbf all them names are bang average too except Nico who hasn’t impressed much.
Yeah, it’s all on Pep. I’m not excusing himAll of them his signings.

Watch last weeks Belgium vs Ukraine game and then get back to me.You think so?

No, Arsenal have had crucial injuries and have zero strikers and they're 10 points ahead of us, and despite our injuries we still have a better squad than Forest who are 5 points ahead, struggle to challenge the dippers for the league ? yes it's totally understandable, struggle to finish top 5 ? no that's not good enough from him.Any manager would struggle this season with the amount of injuries to key players and we've just added Haaland to that list.
We bought one for 60 million in January and yet another with no pace who cannot even get in this current midfield.I'll say it again.

Just think we also lack decent coaching staff as well as the issues with Pep and xannot see any improvement next season with the same tactics as the game is all about pace, strength and energy now and we have none of that. Even a slow Rags team walked through our midfield today

Pep hasn't adapted though.
He has carried on playing open, suicidal high line football, and with a midfield that has an average of around 100
Any other manager worth his salt would and should have recognised that to get results with the current set of players with their injuries needed to adapt and maybe play a style of football that goes against the initial philosophy.
The players have declined and yes we have had injuries, but Pep has had an utter shocker this season tactically.
His management of the players in regards to sentimentality and overall squad/ team selection has been that of a league 1 manager.
I do back Pep by the way, I think he his the man to carry us forward. However, it doesn't take away from an utterly shambolic season of management from his this season.
Bang on. The amount of excuses is truly embarrassingNo, Arsenal have had crucial injuries and have zero strikers and they're 10 points ahead of us, and despite our injuries we still have a better squad than Forest who are 5 points ahead, struggle to challenge the dippers for the league ? yes it's totally understandable, struggle to finish top 5 ? no that's not good enough from him.
