Aside from the period between them scoring and us equalising in which we were good, that was a shitshow all over the pitch and off it with Pep too. You can't concede three at home and not question the defence but I put that down to individual errors(mainly walker) and a bit of a one off, we don't have underlying defensive problems. The worrying thing was the lack of creativity, we barely troubled them, our goals came from a shambolic goalkeeping error and a penalty otherwise they looked comfortable and had the better chances in the game, this is a side barely above mid-table that's been in dogshit form and conceding loads.
If peps going to have us float in crosses to the back post all second half to 4 ft6 foden and Bernardo, why the fuck didn't he stick Delap on to at least offer an aerial threat? We were far too robotic and have shown signs of that for a while now before the last few games where we looked better. if something isn't working, Pep needs to have another option or he needs to loosen the rules, allow his star players more licence to show their individual brilliance to win us the game, continuing to play balls to the back post that hadn't once shown signs of working all game was just throwing the game away. I'd sooner our players take pot shots from 20-30 yards than that.
I said pre match earlier in the week, we cannot drop points before Liverpool do, we've now done that. They'll be a huge momentum shift now for them, I expect them to blow away their next few opponents, it's upto us to step up big after that because we're in danger of putting it in their hands now if we slip up again. A day to forget very quickly.
