He had a number of decent chances today I thought.
The first one when the ball got under his feet and then he made a virtual back pass was bread and butter back of the net a year or so ago. In my opinion he’s a player with a fragile confidence hence why he didn’t want to take that penalty in the cup final. He needs someone to put arm around his shoulder but I don’t think Uncle Pep is that type.
 
So 3 chances. I said 4. So we're in agreement. And scoring 1 in three not terrible is it
Not at all. I don't think most CFs get many more chances per game than that though, so I'm not sure a change of style is going to make much difference as far as the number of chances he gets goes.

Fair enough. Agree to disagree.

Peps definetly not that type. I think he actually said today if you put your arm around one players shoulder the problem is other players get jealous.

Once upon a time, there was a guy called Pop or Poppa or Dad who had that duty. Perhaps management should put a plea in with Alf.
