absolutely Marvin, Pep has said that the first eleven were tired after the games against dortmund and even tho making 8 changes was always going to have an impact I am glad he did it.I just realised that this topic holds the secret to Pep's starting line-up against Chelsea and it's quite beautiful and I instantly forgive Pep for it.
He literally took the Dortmund and FA Cup semi-final games and said this is the climax of the season, and every single one of my senior squad will start.
This is how he has got such amazing commitment from his players. What we have done this season playing every 3-4 days is incredible. It is the hardest thing in the history of top-flight English football and you only do it by getting total commitment from the players.
Pep is a very kind man who cares for his players. It's fundamental to the most demanding season in the history of football to give everyone opportunity.
Well done Pep. Your players will love you for this. I do too even though I know it was impossible for that starting lineup to win the game.
It's actually bizarre how long he has been poor for now and is still picked. He is offering zero on the pitch and clearly shouldn't be in the side, baffling and infuriating.It's been obvious for a while that sterling offers nothing, and can't make a decision when it matters. But still he's selected.
Form is temporary, class is permanent , hence why Sterling is so overrated in my opinion.It's actually bizarre how long he has been poor for now and is still picked. He is offering zero on the pitch and clearly shouldn't be in the side, baffling and infuriating.
Look at the games he's been selected for though, he's not in Peps strongest 11 anymore. Yesterday I felt was Pep saying come on this is your opportunity here and he failed spectacularly along with one or two others. Who I would quite happily be rid of for the right price to raise funds this summer. There was a reason Pep only made two changes yesterday one of which was a forced one the other due to the player offering nothing, but the lad is still young.It's been obvious for a while that sterling offers nothing, and can't make a decision when it matters. But still he's selected.
I am ashamed to say that I didn't see this until this morning and then it dawned on me. We played both keepers, both left backs, both right backs, both defensive midfielders, Torres every single player over the course of the two games.absolutely Marvin, Pep has said that the first eleven were tired after the games against dortmund and even tho making 8 changes was always going to have an impact I am glad he did it.
He asked questions of the players he did pick, and most didnt answer that call yesterday, which Pep will not be happy about
But I would rather lose yesterday than lose the next league game
Onwards and upwards now
So my question now is does pep play best team v villa and yesterday's team v spurs
I agree with that.Best 11 next 3 no ifs or buts , after that reassess
We need that stability, these players have been there before and know what's required at the business end. The adrenaline will keep them sharp. Mbappe or Neymar could get injured too you just never know. In this position at this stage of the season fatigue and tiredness is a state of mind.
I hope he never plays yesterday’s team ever again..!So my question now is does pep play best team v villa and yesterday's team v spurs
