[Mr. Shush]

My two cents:

Haaland missing chances. And when he does, its never good.
When we don't score first, we're trash.
As for the players: Walker. Bin him. He's done.
The lineup: questions. Savinho on right? Didn't work. Gundo as 6? If that's where he was playing? Didn't stop counters. Rico on right but it looked like he was tucked in the whole game. Same as Foden. That left Walker playing as a winger? No.

here's my take. And I've said it before and I'll say it again. Teams have adapted to us. It is no issue for teams to drop 4-5 back or play a double 6 and absorb pressure. Because they know we will be careful with the ball rather than risk a 20 yard shot or a swinger into the box. We just don't do that. But this is also the origin of our 2nd problem which is - counter attacks. If we lose possession, then we commit to possesssion inside an opponents inside 30, we are a shambles in trying to get back. We have no one to stop a counter.

Finally - we never counter attack. Never. Not once in this game. Yes, teams leave players back, but we have shown that we do not utilize any pace we may have - even if we're down. We were down 0-2 today and not once did we try a quick counter. Its foreign to Pep.

So while we have the skill, we don't use it. We have to adjust our style and we need to find a 6 that will shore up against counters. We have to play with URGENCY. The days of us picking apart defenses and wearing them out are
g-o-n-e.

Love this forum. Absolute wet lettuces who know nothing other than being spoilt

For the empty heads, this is football. Sometimes you go through a major slump, the same ones you all enjoy other clubs’ demise when they’re going through it.

We WILL be champions come May.

And then you can all take your faces for a massive dump an apologise.

Mate I’m all for positivity but unless the rest of the top six implode we are not winning the league in my opinion.
These results are a combination of many things, players older, subliminal lack of belief,poor recruitment, lack of confidance
Unknown territory, and other teams realising
They get just as much attacking than a low block.
Every team will be licking their lips playing us now as they have seen 5 different teams beat us.
This is no blip it’s a natural decline of an aging team. It’s what we do from here that will make or break us.
The next two windows will be the most important we’ve ever done.
Get those wrong and we become a top 4 side
Get it right and we can start to dominate the next decade.
Pep needs to earn his coin now to show the doubters he is the best in the world.
The media and the cartel are going to be all over this series of losses, they’ve been waiting years to write the shite that’s incoming.
Our next game against the dippers needs a re think, we can’t play like today against these cunts as we will get twatted big style
Let’s hope pep sorts this shit out in time.

Playing far too open and any loss of possession is costly.

In the final third ourselves we spend an age just passing and let the opposition regroup.

All the defeats have a similar pattern.

 

[Winchester]

not worth sharing though

It's just a thought

 

[Winchester]

If the players know something, then the whole world would do so. It would be everywhere

Not sure really

 

[Winchester]

The players no fuck all about 115
The executives will have a feeling as to how well it’s gone, with input from the legals and that’s as far as it goes until the judgement is published

Durr! Innitt

 

[chaddblue]

With peps new contract and the Rodri show.. today was the day the players were supposed to roar back and show the world the real city

But not one of them could raise their game at all and we were smashed with a whimper

If they couldn’t show any signs whatsoever of a marked improvement today, its really difficult to see where and when it’s gonna happen

Gotta hope Feyenoord are shit cos even if they’re half decent they’ll come here fancying themselves and we could then be looking at 7 defeats in a row

I'm sure you're being shit on for this, but it's why I wasn't ecstatic as most over Pep's extension. The team needs a fresh set of eyes currently. I hope he can prove me wrong.

I had one person respond with the expected response. I think that speaks volumes maybe? Or maybe no one gives a shit what I think...(Which is also correct).

Play too slow, not too open.

We will need two central mids in January, not just one, as well as a dedicated right-back and a striker. These needs are urgent and cannot wait until the summer.

Difficult to get the right players in January though. And absolutely no chance of getting four top players in January.
