Were you saying that when he was scoring for fun???
All forwards have a bad spell..it doesn't help we don't play to his strengths with our slow slow build up..give him service and he will score.. hopefully starting on Thursday

Grealish has never scored or assisted for fun

Someone said on here yesterday that when we have the ball our opponents take a rest, which is a pretty good assessment. When the Dippers have the ball (and Arsenal too) there’s definitely no rest for the opposition. They play like we used to. We have become so slow and predictable.

Kulusevski said as much after the Spurs game. Goes against the old adage of it's more tiring out of possession as you say. We have zero pace.

Spurs are awful

What's new ?

This spurs team wiped the floor with us. January is make or bust for us

I dont think it is. It is notoriously difficult to make effective signings in the January window. They are never value for money and often panic buys, and not being overly negative but there wont be players falling over themselves to come here in the present uncertainty and confidence vacuum we are in. The season is a write off. We need to ride it out and rebuild more sensibly than a January splurge

We've played walking football for the last two months

Yup - we seemingly have zero intention of even putting it in the oppositions box never mind their goal lol

Pep won't change his style.

He didn't in his first season and he then won everything playing that way.

He'll continue with it and hopefully some new players and players staying fit, will allow us to be better.

Once again mate his first season was completely different, we were playing very good football and creating a ton of chances but bad finishing and poor defending let us down, it was obvious to anyone with football knowledge that the results would improve, it's different here, we've barely played PL level football for the past two months, it's not the results that's the main concern it's the performances, this is the biggest challenge in Pep's career and for me he could've done better, of course I still believe he can fix it, but he needs to do it quickly.

Real Madrid will win the CL. FA Cup could be any decent side , depends on the draw. Chelsea and Arsenal still have a shot at the title.

Madrid would want to get their act together.
The team now known as "Julian Alvarez's Athletico" are top of la liga.
I can't see arsenal catching liverpool but Chelsea certainly can. Just need to cut out results like today.
Where I am impressed with liverpool is that they seem to be able to replace an injured player or one needing a rest with a player who is a like for like replacement.
Tront injured so they bring in Conor Bradley.
Pep would be moving players around like Boris Spassky on a chess board.

I said I misread it..thought it was a dig at Erling..
