[Revolver]

I used to blame the low block opposition in the boring games we’ve had in previous seasons.

But whether by design or fatigue we are this season a boring team.

No team in a Derby is there for the taking and a point is not a bad result.

But next season let’s hope for energy and pace

'Every game is a final,' the boss said.

Not even worthy of an FA Vase final, that.

Fair play to those drawing positives.

 

[Kippax77]

Pep is more to blame for that than any individual player, but hey, we're still 14 points ahead of the unwashed

Find it amazing that the commentator mention how many points we were on after that result but couldn't bring himself to tell Sly's watching red army how many they are on.... very strange

 

[ysmsa]

The substitutions made us worse!

What has happened to Pep?

What has happened to our recruitment?

Make no mistake, they are and were absolutely terrible, their league position is not false, yet they looked the more likely that second half.

Jack Grealish plays OK midweek, scores and is back on the bench.

No wonder the players coming on from the bench don't affect the game, they are pissed off at being dropped.

 

[Damien10]

I tell you what. Yes Foden has been awful lately but are you all telling me he wouldn’t give more than Gundo in that position?

 

[Phoenix900000]

Didn't lose and hopefully we do better with the other fixtures

 

[Blue Mist]

We cannot knock Pep for all he has given us but this season is on him.
Forget injuries, his team selection has been too 'loyal' and today epitomises that.
The midfield today was......... I don't actually know, it defies analysis.

Dreamland

So do u think the rags and southampton wouldnt like our huge issues?

 

[christened at st marks]

I'd keep Josko

 

[theres only one carlito]

Don’t know what your all morning about i had a great afternoon

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

You dont see madrid still with a midfield of modric kroos casemiro. Yet we have gundogan kdb kova bernardo all whos legs are gone. Insanity

 

[eyalluvitt]

To have KDB, Bernardo, kova and gundo on the pitch at the same time is criminal. Absolutely outrageous starting 11.

Pep seems to have crossed the fine line between genius and insanity

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Worked last weekend

Spot on. Against Bournemouth. A team that's won 1 penalty shoot out in the last 8 games

 

[simon23]

I disagree re Grealish being a bad signing, in a good, possession based attacking team, someone like him can keep it going, buying fowls and keeping the momentum rather than giving it away, particularly against the top sides. Sadly, we are now miles off that and because of that he's lost some of his usefulness.

I get that but for the money we paid (not his fault) we could have had so much better

 

[daveiw01]

Those chickens aren’t cheap.

good point, auto correct, sorry!

 

[mind your car Mr?]

When pep goes I'd have Simeone, at least we'd be utter bastard's in every derby game

 

[M Gaudino]

went to the pub before the game , bit pissed then got back and had sex with my girlfriend rather than watch that

from the match report sounds a bit like the 0-0 in winter 2010 at their place when we played a defensive team?

 

[mancboy]

Well this is where we are now is it.

How dare you ask how Southampton fans are feeling. Ungrateful fuckers will be in the championship next season. Bowers and Pitsea have been relegated out of the Isthmian.

Should we be angry?

 

[fathellensbellend]

Abysmal

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Madrid went to shit when Modric came off yesterday, but I get your point.
