who in particular is not trying - in your opinion

There is no shortage of effort. They are all giving the necessary. Not only was there annoyance at HT when Raheem and Ferny, I think, had words with the Alty Tit, but I saw that Eddie strode off at FT with a thunderous demeanour.

I think Pep sees it, I think the players see it, imo the negativity surrounding the club and the above is affecting the players more than people may realise.

And us fans .....

 

[Keeper!]

It's interesting that he still seems to perform on the international stage, though. I wonder if it's because he knows that the PL, PiGMOL, FArce Sunday Night at the London Palladium VAR Show won't be making an appearance and he feels free to express himself as we know he can. You train all week, prepare thoroughly, field a team full of top class players and VAR pisses all over it!

To be fair the International games are several levels down from the top club sides.

Jesus is stuck in forward position too much. Either running offside, or hanging around the back four rather than coming back for the ball, leaving midfielders either sending the ball wide, or backwards. No-one is like Sergio for coming away from defenders to receive the ball.

 

[Dirty Harry]

VAR has done us badly but not yesterday.

There was one one passionate team on that pitch yesterday and disgracefully it was not ours.

No I agree mate, I think we've been hamstrung from the start this season, but yesterday we didn't need to be, I thought all decisions were correct, but I'm not convinced if it was the other way round, those decisions would have been the same.

There just seems to be a real downbeat and dejected mood about the players, the management and coaching, and there's a root cause to it imo.

 

[Blu1]

I noticed a lot of different faces around me yesterday in the stand which was odd. I’m amazed people give their derby tickets away.

even the chap next to me that goes every game wasn’t there, his seat was empty. Odd

Don't think it's from VAR, not sure all the players are into Pep as they once were, or maybe it's simply down to last years run in, which must have been exhausting.

Most of these players have had no reasonable R&R for 2 years and with the Euro's this summer, next season is not going to be any easier

Anyone else think eddy could have saved martials goal

I think they'd clearly been instructed to shoot on sight once they got near the penalty area because they've picked Eddy as a weakness.

LOL

And with that logic, why were we not peppering the world greatest keeper with shots?

Said it against Newcastle. WE. ARE. SOFT

Nobody is Interested putting tackles in because they don't want to get hurt. It's no different than when teams will just bully Arsenal on the pitch

I think it might also be a case of not putting in a tackle knowing that if the diving cheating shite went to ground and rolled around a bit the ref would be reaching for a yellow. How many times did we see a red shirt rolling about clutching shin or thigh after a tackle - two or three hobbles, and, hey presto, ready for the greyhound derby again.
