Yep, we're now panicking when the opposition get a goal late on, confidence just seems to drain and we're then hanging on. There's a lot for Pep and the staff to work on because a long winning run looks a way off at presentLast season we made an art form out of this when a game was tight. Erling, Jack, Foden, Silva would all toy the oppo and win corner after corner.
Why can’t we do it this season? Lack of intensity/complacency or is it the new rules where there’s 10 mins of fucking injury time every match that makes this difficult?
Whatever we’ve gone from the masters of running down the clock to headless chickens that give away great chances and pens at the death!
He's a very strange manager with his non use of subsThe Man who was probably one of the most vocal Managers in the league about wanting more subs for some reason, only known to himself, has decided to try to not use as many subs and make them when the game has already got away from us...
Was almost screaming at my monitor yesterday from around the 70min mark for Pep to make changes. We were 2-0 up and was the perfect time to introduce some fresh legs. Kovacic & Nunes (or even Phillips) for Lewis and Foden (or Alvarez) would've made sense at that time. 76mins they scored with their 1st shot on target as we'd left a 2 on 2 at the back for a breakaway goal. Madness.Sadly peps game management & tactics are to blame. 2 up yet we have defenders ahead of midfielders & strikers. It makes no sense!
Our defenders are midfielders & strikers in every game. Just be defenders. Sadly I think pep does this because we have only 1 real class midfielder in Rodri the rest are very average & are sat on the bench again because pep doesn’t trust any of them
wow !Its down to our dumb arse manager who would rather have a million passes and win 1 nil
Or Phil passes it to him on the right instead of trying to beat 3 players on the half way line and losing posession which led to their penaltyBernardo hoofs that ball down the pitch we ain’t having this argument, sometimes row Z is an option
