NO

if all those players on the bench are not ready leave them in manchester ffs! they should be ready unless injured ! pep picked the team like it was a pre season match ! apart from grealish and dias the rest were woeful !

Most likely at least 9 points behind by the time we get beat at Anfield.

Are you always this positive?

 

[Nellies left peg]

You're probably right but for me he's never going to win a game, too cautious.

Just out of place in a decent side, mid table standard at best.

Not for us at this time.

Wasn't too disappointed when we signed him but the more I see him play I realise that he is not going to cut the mustard at the top level

Once everyone is fit & if we get Kane i would go with
Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Zinchenko
Debruyne Gundagan Grealish
Foden Kane Sterling

Gundogan as lone DM doesn't work. He simply doesn't have the legs for it.

no preseason.

half a first team squad.

difficult run of starting fixtures.

relax everyone, you think after last season we arent aware its a marathon, not a sprint.

we have the deepest squad in the league and once frequency increases, players get injured and go out of form for other rivals we will be there or thereabouts come the business end of the season.

once kane signs next week, starts banging them in and spuds lose their first game they'll be the ones calling for their managers head in 6 months.

reeeeelax.

I love diazepam.

Not really arsed about the result, never expected much with the lack of preparation we’ve had. Full house away at Spurs was always going to be tricky, it’s up there as one of our bogey grounds now.

Performance really hammered home the reality that Mendy is no longer a capable footballer at this level. I’m actually astounded that a perfectionist like Pep lines up with him in the team.

Too much negativity, but also too much nauseating positivity after a loss like that.

We were not good enough today, it’s something we have seen before in familiar patterns. But it’s also something we’ve managed to deal with before on our way to success.

We all know where the problems lay today and there’s no point over analysing it. But I don’t think there is much room for excuses about who was fit, whether we are ready, etc. Other top teams won this week.

Easiest to forget about it and move on. Pep and his team will know what to do.

Other top teams did win but we are the current champions. Not Chelsea, not United, not Liverpool. Last season the players busted a gut until we hit a wall. No one is happy with a defeat. Mentally we looked dead. Tired buildup, tired passing, tired closing down.

No positives and no negatives today as we have seen nothing new however the club is owed time from fans to get it right before the overreactions are justified.

A goals scorer would have put us in front in the first 20min. Different game then and we could settle into a rhythm.

Don't worry lads Harry is the answer to all our problems.

HOUDINI

Surprised all the stick Ake is getting on here, I thought he was one of the few to come out with any credit.

Not really, once again he's culpable on the goal, you just don't back off Son there and let him waltz forward and shoot. In his defence he did have Mendy on his side.
