Sporting CP (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

Those of us that voted loss before the game let our heads rule our hearts. We had seen the writing on the wall for a few weeks now.

Pep has got one hell of a job to put out a team who can turn this round.
Maybe the players know Pep is going and a general malaise has set in.
 
I think Akanji was caught in two minds trying to protect the kid and it affected his game

You just can't chuck a kid whose never even played a full game into a match like that

But... maybe Pep had no choice. I guess Ake was just nowhere near fit otherwise he'd have brought him on and taken the kid out of the firing line
Bang a 4-1 loss.
So be it
 
I can’t believe how we turned an excellent first half performance into an absolute shit show of a second half. Just threw the game away with a mixture of arrogance and incompetence. You’ll not see many more amateur hour penalties all season than those two tonight. Ludicrous from Josko and Nunes.

Whilst we’ve been crucified by injuries that was still a good eleven out (JSP excepted as not really a fair environment for Pep to throw him into).

We need to get through this slump and injury crisis as painlessly as possible.

We could do with Pep having one of his reshuffles - the inverted RB is causing us a huge amount of problems for little reward.

Baffled by the lateness of the subs and the decision to give Kev 7 minutes. At least no new injuries on the face of it.
 
Proper shitshow tonight, and armed the red media with all sorts of ammo to use against us to boot.

Every single aspect of coverage from the commentators through pundits through media all the way down to red twats in the match thread, all wallowing in our present fortunes, with knives out, the negativity is heavy.

We are in a bad place and the players are spread too thin with injuries and relentless games, and it is showing.

Without all our first team choices available our tactics of the high line is exploited every time we lose the ball.

Teams just have to defend in numbers and break with pace against us, and we are making it easy for them atm.

Pep needs to prove he is the best again, to find a way to turn it around, and soon or we are winning nowt.

Lowest point since that 4-0 v everton in Peps first season imo.

We must look forward and not dwell in the now, its tempting to just go for the five timer and fck everything else off.

On the bright side, these three losses have been spread over three comps inc one we dont want anyway, and have not damaged the others beyond recall.

Time to dig deep, and keep our players away from the internationals for once like other clubs do.
