How Pep turns us into a top side again heaven only knows. Maybe a change is needed

We drew a game.

Pep is the best manager in the world, and his set ups won us 4 titles in a row.

One off season and people on here have lost their minds.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

On another day it would have been a comfortable win.

Another day where we turned up and played better? Yes, absolutely. We were shite though, and that’s the point.

1 goal against the one the worst Pl side ever

Tactical masterclass

I am a huge pep fan I appreciate everything he has done. Will even say he is the best manager in the world.. but I think we have come as far as we can with him. I think it’s time for a change. I know be careful what you wish for but idk I just feel like we need something different

Time of a change because of one off season? In which we're currently 3rd and in a cup final.

Olise is a special player, been outrageous in this Bayern match.

What have the rags got to do with it?

To drop points here when top 4 is needed is very poor. Sorry but on the manager again for me. He’s had a worse season than the players.

We need to spend big in the summer & what’s the point letting pep do it for only one season. Crazy to let pep spend if he’s going.

I love pep but for me it’s time to say goodbye end of the season. He’s running on empty just like most of our old boys.

We need new energy to motivate the club & let the new manager spend the cash

Time to say goodbye to Pep because we drew a game during one off season, coming off four successive title winning seasons.

Re the Viking situation and his style of play Would you prefer a Franny Lee, Tevez or a Sergio? I would take all 3 over him

 

[big gaz]

Apart from Haaland they’re fucking soft lads that’s why.

We need some more players like Yaya, Vinnie, Tevez, Zab, and Fern.

And Gaz Baz :-)

 

[argyle]

And that's why Pep's time should be up.

You need to win the game and there was nothing offered in that first half.


See the difference Doku made and then O'Reilly, Marmoush and, to a lesser extent, Savinho.


Why on earth didn't they start?

Lets get rid of the best manager in the world because of one season where we might finish 3rd and win a cup.

In a nutshell mate :)

Tell me one game where a team defended 5-4-1 or any other dogged defence where he was anything but average at best, but most of the times just useless. Only if you serve him on the plate! Even coming back to pick up the ball doesn't work because defence just does not budge and stay in position. It worked when we had 9 outfield players playing with intensity, accuracy and effort, when Kev had a laser vision, when we had players capable of taking defenders one on one creating spaces and drawing defenders out of position. Never was team Halland but I am just getting annoyed, we are turning into Spurs with our CF scoring average 30 and we are almost winning nothing.

I agree. We need to replace half this team.

We have been crap this season bar the first few games.

 

[Dodge]

Fuck me, so many slapped arse, over the top, reactionary posts in here.

Yes, it was disappointing, especially after working so hard to get back into contention, but there are people actually calling for Peps head in this thread.

Fucking shameful of him to not get 5 in a row for us...and another European Cup. Booo. Wheres the Carabao? Boooo. Shameful I tell yer. Fucking Fraud.
Clueless. As he was at Barca and them lot in Bavaria. I mean, what has he actually done for us? What? Get fucking gone.

Self-entitled, disrespectful bullshit.

Give the bloke a break FFS.

 

[argyle]

We need a new manager it’s been obvious for a while. Accept it and get one. Those January signings were definitely not endorsed by pep. We’ve scraped through the season and are now an absolute shell of a team.

Deary me. Some of you have lost your heads.

 

[argyle]

I'd be fully open to selling Phil whilst he's still worth a few quid, same with Erling and Sav. Absolutely terrible that, and fucking hell Pep, what the fuck are you playing at?

We need to sell Foden and Haaland? Lol.

 

[citysince88]

I salute you, Sir - that is an incredibly measured response to what you've just been served.

Haha

11 year old nephews first away game he's buzzing regardless of the result.

He's even enjoying the pissed up city fans singing very questionable songs.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Some people can't accept that other fans have a different opinion than them haha! Brilliant

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Dias whining about Southampton's tactics after the game are embarrassing.
Not sure what we expected, they were always going to play that way.

Sounds like something klopp or arteta would come out with. Such a shit mentality. The opposition can play however they fucking like, it's our job to beat what's in front of us not bore everyone to death. Peps comments not much better either.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

An inept attacking performance.

 

[dadnlad]

Exactly, why are we setting ourselves up to have akanji or dias having a pop. Surely we are smart enough to have a kev, Phil, kovacic, ready to hit one on the edge

Why two full backs playing as wingers more so when one is lewis I'm not nunes biggest fan but would've been better option
