Cancelo was dreadful aswell whilst we’re at it. Apart from KDB there’s a complete lack of intelligence in the team.

Not even going there with Mendy, quite possibly tops the list of his horrow shows.

this is something that has occurred to me over recent years, most if not all our players are thick as two short planks. When a team is seeing out a game they aid and abet them, they give away dumb free kicks, get involved in off the ball scuffles, try Hollywood corners to no one when we are in the last minute. David Silva, Aguero, Kompany, Yaya, etc all switched on to what’s happening, all thinking two steps ahead. This lot are proper dunderheads. I hate the scousers, I hate Stretford, and those tosses today BUT they are savvy, they know how to work the margins. I fucking despair of our lot. Lots of skill, yep, but switched on, never.

Poor Bernardo....watching us create very little and getting splinters in his arse...

Game was begging for his energy and positivity.....

Pep trusts his players way too much. He should've been on from the start.

Typical regurgitated nonsensical hypercritical rhetoric about Sterling.
Did you copy and paste that from FantasyIreland?

He scored 31 goals in 19-20. THIRTY ONE. More than any English player since Lee One Pen.
Team of the Tournament at Euro 21.

I can see why you might not have Sterling in your starting 11 but this "he's not played well since 2018" is just absolute boring nonsense.

Fair enough, I was trying to make a point that he wasn't in my starting 11. He was gash last year though and that's not nonsense.

how will Sterling and Grealish fit in first eleven in the long run? Grealish was clearly running into same position as Sterling making Sterling to go more inside but then we pretty much lose the pace of Sterling out wide.

I would hope Grealish plays from left, Sterling from right and Kane centrally because Mahrez for me is not worth keeping as Sterling in bad form still scores more than Mahrez overall imo.

Agree with this. Pep did get it wrong today and never changed the mistakes he made, Leaving substitutes far too late to make an impact.
Walker is a naturally fit player I would of thought he was a certain starter and also never even brought him on.
Mendy and Ake on the same side of the pitch is a no go shouldn't even be contemplated.

At half time it would have been so much easier to bring Walker on for Mendy and Cancelo taking over at left back.
As you say far too late with his 2nd and 3rd subs anyway.

Poor performance. Watching our players walking around and seemingly not interested was galling. Tottenham didn't play that well and didn't need to. I think if Kev started fully fit we would have won that game. I don't know how Mendy still starts for us, probably because nobody wants him and we can't get rid of him. One of our worst ever signings.

Entitled to an opinion but my opinion is they are fucking mad..... Infact what am I on about, let's just go with Torres upfront instead for the season like some of them have suggested.

HAHAHAHAA

They're fucking crazy not mad haha.

Obviously entitled to their opinion tho although a shit 1.

Great opportunity for our hot taking whingers to get in their hits.

Better take your chances. It might not last more than a few months.

Please do let it out if it helps you feel better.

Me? Not interested in over-worrying about a match day 1 result away that has so many variables that tell me this is not even close to valid and reliable data to read much into.

If we perform like this in 2-3 months (less if we don't sign Kane) with who Pep is employing regularly enough, then I'll begin to lean into the idea.

3 out of 4 titles won.

Mendy should be gone already.

Cancelo, Ake, Torres all on their last chance.
