Well that was fucking dreadful, again.

No passion, we’re slow, we’re soft, we’re embarrassingly predictable and we have absolutely no leadership on the pitch. They should hang their heads in shame today. It’s football, we can and will get beat, but turning out performances like that when they’re supposed to be at the top of the game is unacceptable.

The players are not doing the simple things well. To quote Mr Delph, “it’s the basics of football”.

With that, Pep’s stubbornness and insistence to play one way only is killing us. We look clueless at the back, we look clueless in attack. How many times to we have grass in front of us and rather than drive into it we stop, turn backwards or inside and let our opponents reorganise. Why do we keep buying wingers and make them hold the ball out wide until the fullback arrives and then play backwards and into the middle?

Our recruitment over the past few windows has been absolutely awful.

Time to change things up, Pep.

I'd agree but who does he bring in to a team low in confidence?
 
Mistake by Gvardiol gives the first goal away undoing the early decent work and then we crumble.

Not sure how Pep fixes this but pretty confident he will. Interesting times ahead.

We need two new midfielders who can run in January. They don’t need to be able to do much else. It would just be nice to have some midfielders who can run

That was all Tottenham had today in midfield. Sarr and Bissouma not the best but both physical and can get around the pitch. Whereas Rico Lewis and Gundogan can’t run.
 
It isnt going to get any better soon.

Paying the price for not addressing the drastic squad needs last summer. Tired of saying the same thing but it's true.

Liverpool away next. That one might be really ugly. Pep's entire system relies on a holding midfielder that sits and protects the back 4.

We havent got one at all and the results are clear.

We have ample opportunity to recruit a capable deputy in the past 3 windows - and we did nothing

I'm getting vibes from 2016; Pellegrini's final season, that defeat reminded me of that 3-1 home loss to Leicester, when Mahrez and Vardy cut through us at will. Just too easy to play against. If you gave me top 4 and the FA Cup right now, I would snatch your hand off.
