Does Pep really believe he can get away with this shit time after time? Does he really believe the fans won't ever turn on him? If he does, then he needs a head wobble!

Fucking shit play, selections and lack of any direction...again!

Getting cute with the lineup at a place we haven’t scored a goal is absolutely hilarious. Haaland didn’t touch the ball one time in the box.

Not sure I understand your point. Firstly, we didn't get 'cute' with the lineup. It's the same system we've played for the majority of this season. Secondly, if we've never even scored a goal there, surely that implies that the 'normal' way of doing things doesn't work against them.

We have Massive problems. Every position on the pitch is a problem with time quickly catching up with too many players which the club have failed to address.

You don’t win titles with Akanji and Ake as your starting CBs and Rico Lewis as a consistently starting full back (left or right). You just don’t.

Pep is willing to toss off the season, because he is more interested in showing who is boss. Dias and Laporte watching on week in, week out. Cancelo booted out of the club.

Big summer ahead, if the attitude is that Pep is effectively all powerful, then that means half a dozen out and at least half a dozen in.

If we start next season with Ake and Akanji as our starting CBs, then this is the start of the end. Might seem dramatic, might seem over-the-top, but history tells us that dominance doesn’t last forever. Over the years, dominant sides have replaced their best players with others that don’t reach the same level and they slowly but surely start to move towards the pack. We are currently moving in that direction.

The game that needed no more motivation after yesterdays results and we sleep walked to a defeat.

Something has to give here, we are second and playing our worst football in the best part of a decade. I don’t know how that is, but we won’t be second for long if this keeps up.

We’ve been trash since Pep signed a new deal, I can’t tell if that’s a coincidence or not, but there seems to be a huge downturn in performance and energy out on the pitch.

Don't think ppl can blame Pep. Not sure we have a first 11 that could have done better. We are just having a tough season.

It happens. Can't win the league every season. And this season is likely one of those seasons.

Be good to see us get Dias and Laporte back in the first 11.

Not sure Lewis is ready for being played in every single game. Especially the big games. Ake should stay at left back.

Hopefully we refresh the team in the summer. The whole midfield looks shagged and out of ideas.

Just finish strong this season. 2nd in the league and a good run in FA and CL cups.

Thought we looked sharp until the Rodri pass, lost our way of playing the intensity has dropped we don't have a settled backline. And we have a striker who we don't know what to do with, Haaland is playing like he is in a counter attacking team and we're not setup for that.

Haaland didnt have anything to work with until KDB came on the pitch. Its not his fault

 

[its a Barm]

I don't think it's an overreaction to say we aren't winning the league this season the team don't want it enough yes there's loads of points to play for but can't see it, we need something other than this we are easy to play against

 

[Rodrigoooooooo]

Pep needs to start making subs sooner ffs.

 

[hertsblue]

How would we have looked without Jack?
Kev looks absolutely shot - like Granny Shagger in his final season.

I think we need to take a serious look at our backroom staff, we pick up injuries to our CB's constantly and always look knackered, even after a rest. Add to that the zero improvement in set pieces and woeful decision making in the final third, is Pep too comfortable without an AM to push and question him
