QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

Pep has cost us in the UCL once again, he’s just so naive it’s unbelievable. First of all he couldn’t have put out a worse XI with the players available. Playing Mahrez means we can’t utilise the right wing because he is so bad it’s unusable when he plays, David Silva has been out of form since February so should’ve played KDB who always puts in a good performance vs Spurs, the same goes with Sane whenever he’s up against Trippier.

He then allows Aguero to take the penalty instead of Gundogan, Aguero has missed more UCL penalties than he has scored. Why is nobody at the club getting this information, the same lack of research cost us the game at Anfield as Pep claimed he didn’t know how bad Mahrez’s penalty record was. Lloris wouldn’t suspect Gundogan to take a penalty for us as he’s only taken one penalty for us outside of a penalty shootout, he’s our best penalty taker by far, I mean he scored in the UCL final!

He then refuses to bring on our most impactful subs in KDB and Sane until the 88th minute which seems like a multiple occurrence as he has built up a tendency to leave key substitutions too late. I see Poch on the Spurs bench with an iPad so he can get a better view of the game, why doesn’t Pep utilise the technology available to make better judged decisions, maybe then he will see how poorl we’re really playing.

I feel with Pep in the UCL it’s just bad decision after bad decision. The starting XI next game must be:
GK: Ederson RB: Walker CB: Kompany and Laporte LB: Mendy CDM: Fernandinho CM: Bernardo (Gundogan if he’s injured) and KDB LW: Sane RW: Sterling ST: Agüero

To be honest I can’t explain it. Don’t know what he was thinking but to call him “a coward” is unacceptable.

Was he scared to make the necessary changes? You tell me

Nice one.When are you kids back at school?[/QUOTE

I’m 18, I’m not a narrow minded middle age person who doesn’t know anything about football. I’m literally just stating facts, I hate how everyone acts like pep is exempt from criticism. He’s a great manager but in the UCL for us, he has been absolutely poor and you can’t deny that. The loss last night was all down to him.

 

[Bluemanc100]

We are the North Stand !!

We are the South Stand Top Tier!! till 85 minutes...

Don’t duck out pal. I think having a couple of fair minded opposition fans on here is great. The “angry” you refer to is just a bit of frustration and is not directed at you guys.

Cheers. Appreciated.

I’m guessing you’ about 40 who’s just discovered what GIF’s are and have acquired your football knowledge from moronic pundits. Pep is not exempt from criticism and if he did the opposite of what i stated was wrong with him last night, then we would’ve won the game.

Because it was hit low and hard from close range. The culprit was Delph who stopped with his hand up, giving Son the fraction of extra time and space needed to get shot in.
