Sterling wanted that big deal which we didn't believe he was worth, proven right.

Sane wasn't / isn't the same since injury and hasn't fulfilled his potential, don't think the Club were too bothered.

Can't be too careful nowadays, madness to allow an exodus of first team quality players. No guarantee of replacements succeeding no matter how much you spend.
I worry about Laporte, Dias and Foden, sadly Bernardo is a lost cause and he should have been sold in the summer.

I'd start worrying about Haaland too...

Had to be against us that Mr personality gets his club record.
The VTs at the end of the game by sky made it look like he died.

We all knew what would happen here. Disappointed but not surprised.

One consolation is that no matter how many goals the mumbling sir Harry has scored for Totspurts they’ve won absolutely nothing in the same time frame.

Club records mean absolutely nothing to anybody but the club involved and their fans

Only medals and trophies are remembered
 
Recruitment is the main culprit here. Forget tiredness for a second. Up to know the players purchased in the summer are not good enough. Stop buying English players who accept mediocre performances. Lost all creativity and flair. We all knew the drop was coming. Well now it’s here. On this current season the new players are not good enough and the older players are not playing to the same level.

Khaldoon sort it out. Thx
 
Amongst all performances getting highlighted, I cannot ignore how laboured Bernardo has been since the world cup, he's barely interested, doesn't have the same intensity and energy. We kept players wanting to leave prior, this time we have to rid of them.
 
Only got around to watching Pep presser. He sounds like we all feel. The manager, players, club, supports are suffering from winning fatigue.

No solution will fix this problem quickly.

Tired team with tired minds.

Let’s get right behind the boys against Villa. Strong support might just be the tonic needed to change course this season. Us the fans need to dig deep and help them find form no matter how shite they play.

Look at Liverpool!

It is very odd - well not so odd if you think about it...... with modern dietry advice and medicine and physiological stuff, players should be having longer careers (not shorter) than in the past. But the trouble is, because of the ££££s thing - the amount of games - the opposite is happening.

Ok - you get the odd exception, like Messi winning the WC at 35, but you could say he'd had a bit of a rest leading up to it playing in France, plus his earlier career was in a sort-of Scottish type league.

But the fact is, if you play extensively in the English Premier League you have about 6-8 years max. after that you are burnt out. KDB being a prime example 32 going on 42 (sadly) I don't know what is going to happen.

I read recently that the European Super-league idea is dead in the water because its already happened: its called the English Premier League! So much for Brexit!

WE have bought poorly for several windows.

Grealish is busting his guts for us but as a wide player he does not score or create assists.

Phillips has been an utter disaster regardless of injury.

LB disaster.

Haaland a great signing but when you have arguably the best finisher in world football and you don't feed him, serious questions have to be asked about tactics and coaching.

Good post. We look very jaded. Look at the dippers? Are they having disgruntled issues behind the scenes? No, theyre fucked. So are we but the difference is we have a better squad and better manager so we do better In adversity.
this is a season too far. We arent ready for 3 on the bounce.

I agree metal tiredness is an issue but like the dippers runs a bit deeper.

Again like the dippers we have let out MF grow old and tired and all at the same time, sometimes we have been far to loyal to the players.

We have serious decisions to make on several of our legends, KDB, Gundo, and Walker the first two especially, is it time to say thank you and goodbye?

KDB looked shocking after he came on, is he done, exhausted, something is so wrong with the ginger one.

I am over the result already.

Being honest,we have looked Miles off being Title challengers this season.

Finishing top 4 will be some achievement if the rumors of unrest in the dressing room are true.

Cancelo shipped out to Bayern at the last minute. Rumors of possibly another 5,6, players having fallen out with Pep also.

If it is true it isn't going to be conductive to good football is it.

Meaning we had to go in to a Big game against Spurs with an unhappy dressing room.And our manager fielding a team of players based on who he has not "Yet" fallen out with.

My fear is Pep is unraveling again.

When he popped off at the Fans i thought it was a bit out of order given what he has served up this season.

Tixi might need to call a meeting to sort this all out.Let everyone air their grievances in private.Something needs to change.

We can not let it continue.Something is obviously wrong on,and off the Pitch.And it needs sorting now.

Care to share your source for these rumours of 5/6 players falling out with Pep?

Something is wrong because we are second in Feb and lost to a team who we have lost to 5 times away from home?

So now players are being played because Pep likes them and not on ability and you know this how?

Any rebuild should be led by the Board. If we don't win the CL this year (spoiler alert... we won't), Pep will have failed his prime objective.

Other than acting out of desperation, I can't see why the Board would want to have Pep lead a rebuild next season, knowing that he will almost certainly be leaving within a year or so.

If there is to be a rebuild, a new coach should be given responsibility from day one.

Idk maybe what’s he has done since he was here. Crazy I know
 
It's not crazy surprising that a team has an off season after year after year of gruelling intensity both mentally and physically...
