i am not saying maureen plays park the bus every week he clearly doesnt, but if Pep had set out that way yesterday it would have taken spurs by surprise and played into our hand, instead we did what maureen was expecting and we played into their hands. In the time it took spurs to change their game plan, might not have picked his team to be more attacking. I guess at the end of the day i just wish Pep wasnt so predicable ( forgetting the Lyon game where he wasnt predicable lol )
Have you heard of full stops? I was waiting for more too be said.Have you never heard of paragraphs
Well you know it's getting bad because it's taken over sixteen hours for people to start claiming that everything is fine and that everyone is overreacting.
I think your lack of pace, energy and enthusiasm is a result of the issue I outlined. Yesterday you started off brightly but because we could comfortably keep our shape you couldn't get into our box or get in good shooting positions around it and there is no point in crossing to Jesus from wide against a busy box.
The longer the game went on the more your pace, energy and enthusiasm waned because nothing was changing.
Whenever I have watched Aguero pull defences around you create good chances, even when you don't score the more chances you create the more enthusiasm there is because it is working. The goals then become almost inevitable
If you don't think people overreact to poor football results on a regular basis!
Agree with the first paragraph, my point was that you need a player that does what a fit Aguero used to do, but even with the drop in pace defenders still worry about him. I've thought for 2/3 seasons you have needed that player though so that you have proper cover when Aguero is injured, for rotation or to play with him as the closest thing you will come to a plan B under Pep.Aguero isn’t quite the player he was though. He’s still very good but he’s lost a yard and is progressively out injured more each year. I don’t think the result would’ve been any different with the 2019/2020 version of Aguero, particularly because he’d still have picked Mahrez to ensure our attacks break down on a regular basis.

Mourinho has you well set up against attacking teams like ours if yesterday is anything to go by. It’s how that translates when you have to commit more men forward that will define how you go because I don’t really rate your defence when it doesn’t have 6 men in it... and then you need to keep Kane fit, who was excellent yesterday.
