The days of Rodri plays we never lose seem long gone
I think he’s probably what the fuck has happened himself.

I think pep will go end season,that was terrible thatUsually after such defeats I’d come on and try and look at the realistic situation and try and look forward. I’d try to tell folk to stop being so spoilt and support the team through the tough times. That was really worrying though. No fight, no composure, and terrible, terrible tactics and team selection.
1. We are really really boring to watch and ineffective against anyone decent. We haven’t got the players to play Pep’s way anymore. We have got two brilliant, explosive wingers who are told to turn back in all the time. It’s just a waste of talent. I love Pep to death and this season is a big improvement to last season, but unless he adapts soon I think it might be time. We’ve a really good squad now. If we don’t win something and show signs that we could compete for next seasons title then, as Pep has always said, results should mean that it’s time to move on. Our current tactics are killing our front three. And on that note….
2. The elephant in the room. Haaland. What the fuck is up with the bloke? Yes the tactics aren’t helping him at all, but he’s a disgrace at the moment. No fight, no movement and smiling and joking with United defenders during a match like this. Just standing and waiting in the middle, blocking off any fluid movement by others (Phil,Cherki) is not good enough. Either him or Pep need to sort it out quickly. My view is that - if Pep won’t change his tactics, which he won’t - he should be dropped and we need to go back to a false 9. Foden, Cherki or Reijeinders can fill those two false 9 spots. It’s never going to happen as it seems he’s bigger than the club, but he’s killing us at the moment.
Just thoughts and only writing them here so I can get it off my chest. Not that anyone is in the slightest interested haha, nor should they be. I’m sure we’ll have thousands of other perfectly brilliant/terrible takes on it
he wouldn't get in any premier league teamWhy the fuck didn’t we sell Lewis to Forest when we had the chance?
He wouldn’t get in bloody Macc’s team these days.
He looked knackered today. You could see the lack of football. Even his decisions were bad never mind the wayward hoofs. He needs to keep playing though so he's up to speed next year. Always expected a tough road after arsenal fucked him up.The days of Rodri plays we never lose seem long gone
Donnarumma plays and keeps the score down is the new version.The days of Rodri plays we never lose seem long gone
I like a lot of that but if you go through our squad....who is truly world class or potential
Haaland, Rodri, Donarumma....
Who else is world class or potential....Cherki? - maybe, Foden - maybe
The rest....? I dont see it..some good players in Doku, Khusonov but that is is....
Semenyo will be a good prem league player but never world class, reijnders isnt suited to our league. Doku as with Semenyo
rico Lewis is a championship player and RAN is a lower prem level fullback at most. Dias is decent but not top level and Gvardiol has potential to go either way - there is a focus issue with him
we can add Guehi to this but its just presumption to say he will be - we all hope he is
They collectively didn’t fancy it, unforgivableYou can lose a game, but with fight, determination, ambition and commitment – all of which were lacking today. The worst performance in a derby in I don't know how many years. I always support the team, but today was a refusal to work.
He wasn't great today either. However the team he played with before his injury have either moved on or are injured.The days of Rodri plays we never lose seem long gone
Cant complain one bit about the result, should have been 5.
Another shocking performance in an ever increasing list of them against them.
Unless we start beating this lot on a regular basis again, then we can forget about winning things.
Now I’ve slightly collected my head, our tactics were terrible considering. We should have played them on the break. Soaked up pressure and done what we did at the Etihad. Especially with Doku and Semenyo. He’s tried a high line going toe to toe with their first 11 and got what he deserved.How anybody can think playing the highest line in the world with 2 kids, a little girl and Stephen Hawkins was a good idea is mindblowing.
Three minutes and they should have been one up.I think i knew even earlier than that !
Well as the final whistle went the boozer I was in (full of rags and we were the only 4 blues there) they all pissed off home bar 3 old cunts gloating, while we have moved to next pub and are talking music, holidays and other shite.
Win or lose on the booze, this won't ruin my day, while them cunts are all back on a sofa eating asda crisps and having a wank
I'm with you there. He's dreadful. No team wanting to win big titles would start him. He has that one trick where he waves his leg like he's dipping his toe in bath water, and if a FB is as equally as quick he just gets marked out the game.He is crap. Look up his stats!
