Sam Lee said they were having an exchange of opinions. That doesn’t mean there’s an issue between them but I’m damn sure they are all emotional and pissed off, which they should be, and that will come through in their demeanour.I don't know if this is true - but as much as i love the player when on form..his demeanor worries me, looks genuinely depressed!!!
Not surprised he's depressed. Got chucked on when the game was already lost and when he's possibly still not match fit, gets played too often for Belgium and hasn't had a decent summer rest for about four or five years.I don't know if this is true - but as much as i love the player when on form..his demeanor worries me, looks genuinely depressed!!!
He's been better as of late but, IMO he's still a poor signing for the money spent.Each to their own but can't help feel he's being made a scapegoat rather unfairly. Of all our attacking players first half I thought he was the best by far, bar the odd flick from Foden.
He fell out it second half and didn't play well on the right but everyone was terrible and he was no worse than any.
Yes we used to have curle and phelan to gallop after them.Have we always played this outrageous high line where CBs push so deep into the opposition half and leave us so wide open to that one pass? I don’t remember us being this high and open in past seasons.
Mate we was outplayed from the 35th minute onwards. Possession doesn't always tell you the real story of a game.I’ve seen us thrashed so many times over the years, that wasn’t a thrashing the score shows. We simply couldn’t put the ball in the net.
Threw it away
I also think Pep loved trying to win without a number nine - meant faster more creative passing - quick passes between full backs and centre halves than cut backs from the by line..all exciting and easy on the eye. Defenders now though are immense physically, so fit, so quick, get blocks in easy when they are around the ball. That's why all teams seem to just play to create pace behind.. Drag oppo's back four up to the half way line (give away a corner etc) then work on lightening fast breaks - sadly we haven't read the script and I don't think the possession football really cuts it v power and pace nowAs I've said in another response, Haaland was the worst of a generally very poor bunch.

Fair enough but to say he doesn’t deserve his place is another thing entirely.As I've said in another response, Haaland was the worst of a generally very poor bunch.
