The bench is all over the shop, two left backs whilst a right back is starting left back, a semi-fit Sergio, Carson too. Bonkers

That's what I said, plus Ake who is a Left CB makeshift LB. The team selections tactics and bench choice is getting more baffling weekly. I think Pep is overthinking things and confusing the players. Something isn't right at the moment. Let's all hope we can get back to winning ways soon.

You are reading it wrong.

That just confirms the players have failed. We had bigger xG vs WBA than dippers had today.

Nothing to do with style

No I definitely get the part where it puts the onus on the players for being shit. But our general play has been a bit slow and lethargic and all our goal scorers seems to be going on a lean patch. How is this possible is what I am wondering!
Numbers never tell the real story do they
I am pretty sure the game we put 8 or 9 past Watford would have an xG of 2.98 or 3.5 or something. We scored twice of that and every time we were moving forward I could see a goal coming. I saw the West Brom match and not once I had that confidence of us scoring one let alone 5. We still managed to get an xG of 2.98!
It won't be as simple as saying our attackers are shit. The same guys were scoring 5 every game two years back.

Indeed! I just want some fight and desire, let’s hope they’re up for it

Well I wouldn't be playing Rodri or Sterling at the moment and I would rather see Foden starting.

Fair enough, problem with Sterling atm is that there’s not many other options to replace him in the team
