Sporting CP (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

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.
I would say he looked half decent when they were shit!
They really were shit for 30 minutes, all over the place at the back and the keeper looked garbage but we didn't capitalise.

When they turned it around he did his usual disappearing act.
 
We lost 4-1 today to a far inferior team. We had the chances first half to finish the game and then went completely absent 2nd half.

Nunes has been ok the last few games but in reality contributes little going forward and gave away a stupid penalty. Gvardiol managed to give away an even more stupid penalty. Haaland then misses a penalty. Ederson lets one in through his legs. A comedy of errors. Maybe just one of those games but seems a hint of a deeper malaise.

Bernardo off form and Lewis, while a tidy enough player, weakens us defensively but adds little going forward. Akanji looks unfit and Savinho does some nice stuff before wasting it. Foden was the only one to really play well throughout, though I though Kovacic was also decent first half.

Hard to see where we go from here but I think a bit of a rethink is required.

Can we please stop saying Nunes is ok and making excuses for him.

The man is absolutely wank. How can there be so many of you who just won’t have it?.
 
But some fans don't understand football is about 2 teams and you can lose
Maybe we are just in a bad run of form, Missing key players and struggling to win go hand in hand,

Also, you start to panic and feel even more pressure from the stands, In the game tonight you could see it after we kept missing you knew its was coming,

Really is this the end of that golden era ? I don't think it is, Pep has big questions to answer about the future and whether he will be at the club for the next rebuild or is he ready to leave and let somebody else have the money

But as the song goes

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera

What will be, will be
You really need to re-think that song. Or perhaps you weren't kept in at the swamp in 2010 after the League Cup semi-final second leg.
 
I agree with some of this but "Relentless games" is not true. Liverpool have played exactly the same amount of games. They are not in the same position as us. They do not have the same injuries as us. Nor the same ability to commit defensive suicide every game at least 3 times.
Dont know the numbers and not suggesting we play more than others, but games do seem more relentless with inernationals too when players are out and results are not good.

Especially as some injuries have come on international duty.

Hate seeing our players in the England squad now, used to be thrilled for em back in the day, but footballs way more "complicated" as a fan nowadays.

Just hope Peps got a new plan.
 
Bravo/ so what the fuck is he doing crossing the white line?
He is likely to be fit enough to play due to the circumstances, like Laporte do for us, but the injury is affecting him that is obvious So yeah bravo to him what would the alternative be? Play someone even less fit or another kid?
 
I turned it off at the second goal, I was so angry with our finishing in that first half, I'm actually sick of it, week in week out. We fucking battered them for 40 minutes, and because we can't score, despite our dominance, get what we deserve.

Our finishing, is and has been for 3 seasons, basically shite, we regularly score 1 from 20 chances, then people on here blame the defence (which is far from perfect), even blaming a 19 year old on his his first start.

Our attacking players can fuck off tonight, they should apologise to the young CB for being so incompetent.
