Feels like 16/17 all over again, pep has not been backed at all in the transfer window and it’s causing devastating consequences. People thought my criticism of the squad was hyperbole after the Bournemouth game, well unfortunately I’ve been proven correct.

The simple fact is despite having arguably the greatest manager of all time, our squad is so poor I do not believe we will get Top 4 this season unless we sign at least 2 players in the Jan transfer window.

Anyone who constantly talks about themselves usually cannot be trusted. You seem to be ticking that box
 
I actually predicted a 4-1 result last night, we were 1-0 up when we were going to bed and Sporting equalized as I was going upstairs. Admittedly I predicted 4-1 to us but still...

Oh well, onwards and upwards.

not nice to lose. Thankfully 2 of the recent losses have been quite meaningless competition-wise, i'd wager all 3 have actually, but obviously it builds a picture of bad form and tactical issues that are getting repetitive.

i thought the 1st half had a lot of decent stuff - Foden looked on it, Savinho's movement was good - but going in level was a bit silly but we've seen that before with City, dominance turning into a good win later in the game. This time is backfired in conjunction with a very shonky looking back line, the shape of it at times looked like a fucked accordion.

Haaland's penalty was a gift, that we spurned, but in truth we cannot continue to paper over cracks. The game was for winning in the first half, the second was a brain fart.

there we have it, we may even lose to Brighton as well, so i suggest people harden themselves a touch and get behind the team. I reckon we wont go into the break without a fight, but i dont think we'll see an instant fix to some on pitch issues. It might take a couple of months but we'll be with Liverpool at the top in a race, come March.

Savinho got into some brilliant positions but didn't make the right decisions, that was so frustrating.
That game should have been over after half an hour.
 
In danger of getting stuck in a loop. As a Club, we’re running out of players and as a Manager Pep is running out of ideas.

How about this - ditch the suicidal high line Baldy…!
 
All the penalties were soft and very few would've been surprised if none were given.

Without them the game and outcome could've been quite different.

However when they come along they have to be scored. If ours had again the outcome could've be quite different.

At present we're like the best gang in town whose top boy has been knocked out......the invinciblity and confidence has been shaken & no one wants to step forward and take on the role.

Rumours of our death are greatly exaggerated !!

CTID.

You've 107 posts in 8 years on this forum. Funnily enough posting when we are in a bad patch.

Also the "I've been proven correct" quote is hilarious, You are another poster/wum that's loves the "I told you so" attitude.
