Cannot believe how self entitled some fans are on here. Sure we aren't playing well at the moment but there are reasons for this, lack of pre season, injuries to key players, new players, loss of form and confidence.
There is too much knee jerk reaction when we lose a games, get rid of x,y and z; Pep must go etc.
I am not being a happy clapper as I can see things aren't perfect but let's not over react to one frustrating defeat after eight games into the season.
The lack of proficiency at the top end of the pitch is largely due to the fact that we have gone from 50% of teams playing a low block to 90% plus throw in a bit of bad form and lack of fit strikers.Oh I'm seeing it the same as you believe me. All 4 spurs attacks tonight were because we were pushed to far up the pitch, and a bit of carelessness/bad positioning, and we're done every time. My mum texted me blaming Ederson, but 4 times he was put one on one with a forward and no cover to help.
That said our profligacy at the other end doesn't help either, so yes the conclusion is that we are a bit of mess.
If we are as bad as you say then why bother extending Pep's contract. Sure we aren't playing well but to say that we are beyond poor is taking the piss.I suggest you take a look at the table and think again we are beyond poor at the moment and no real improvement in sight. We are one or two bad results away from a crisis. We need 5 or 6 wins in a row to get back in the title race and that looks to be beyond us at present.
Walker doesn't "seem to think he is a winger/midfielder" it's the way he's instructed to play by Pep, same on the other side.This may be controversial but I also think Walker needs binning, Seems to think he is a winger/midfielder & never appears to be in position when the opposition attacks.
Take the blinkers off, Mr Clapper. You think the reaction is to one frustrating game?Cannot believe how self entitled some fans are on here.

Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same myself earlier! Nobody would be expecting it and surely it would catch the opposition off-guard.Why dont we give opponents the ball and we sit back and hit them on the counter thats change it around. if managers arent sure if we are going to play possession or counter attack football.
