Sporting CP (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

That’s just repackaging ‘head in the sand’ as ‘perspective’. Look at the issues in the team, look at the transfer windows, we can’t just ignore these things. The results prior to our collapse have flattered us. We were lucky.

It is and it isn't. We have been here before at this time of the season. We have only just entered November. On the treble winning season we had all written off the Premier League by now.

Both sporting penaltys were 100% correct,stop the crap.

Both very soft and the boxhead couldn’t wait to give them

The biggest passenger. And anyone who thinks Haaland deserves his place is kidding themselves.

Worst performer in a team of poor performances.

Is the right answer

Lets face facts this is not down purely to Rodri being out as some claim. As has been demonstrated since late last season teams with pace just run by us. Walker used to bail us out but he's done.
Pep should have recognised the decline in our squad and the ability to hold the ball, defend and score goals.
We hold the ball when our opponents don't want it so our possession is meaningless. We need multiple chances to convert one goal. As soon as we lose possession we get screwed for pace and strength and concede.

Injuries and fatigue aside that second half was an unprofessional and unforgivable mess.

Nunes (I’ve noticed has good first halves then disappears) and Gvardiol should be dropped for those penalties-only we can’t replace them….

The shape ain’t the problem it s the suicide pressing too high at the back when we haven’t got enough pace.We need better players to play pep’s way and we can all see which ones need binning off.Following uniteds way of buying players

You’re a fucking rag and you you’ve been proving that you know fuck all about football since the day you signed up.
Fuck right off.

You fck off..you dont know anything about football,never even touched a football.take off your glasses and come back on earth..we were utter s..t in that second half and you are a complete moron if you say these were not penaltys

we meet Amorim in 6 weeks in the Manchester derby. I wasnt worried before, I am bit worried now. tactically he owned Pep here with a lot lesser squad.

3 losses in a row, says it all, and Brighton watching both this and the Bournemouth game to do just what they seen from them to hurt us. I guess we will go with Kova-Gundo duo, which will hurt us.

also worried now if we make top8 in CL. if this form doesnt improve we may finish 9-12th to do the extra playoff round. well cpoud be others not making top8 like Real, Atletico.

4 points or at least 3 points is needed from the PSG away and Juventus away games. wont be easy. miss winning vs Feyenoord or Brugge and its completely over in terms of top8.

You honestly think this squad will trouble the last 8 in the CL?

Top 4 in the PL is on the block, big time. A much bigger worry.

I think selling a lot of the promising young talents just at the point where they’d become first team players could have been a rare mistake from us

Palmer, Rogers, Lavia better than the players we signed to replace them.

On we go though…

Simple disgraceful tonight the minute they equalised. Played like pussies. No physicality. Defence are guaranteed to give up goals. Incapable of keeping clean sheets. Savinho has done little these last few games he's played. He's weak. It's clear we miss Rodri. More than expected. Haaland is off the boil. I can see us losing 4 in a row this weekend. Just can't see us winning a game at the moment.

The last few years are catching up on us now. It had to happen. It's been a blast. We now need to reset in January and summer. Dare I say it perhaps we need a fresh perspective from the sidelines now as well. Then we go again. CTID.
