I don't know what the directions are from pep to the players when we are in the final third, but I still can't believe we had a free kick with 5 mins to go 2-1 down, outside the box, perfect angle to whip it in to the viking, Akanji, Ake, Rodri etc.. and we play it sideways to Mahrez who gets tackled. Just beyond belief. Sometimes I think Pep is happier to have 65% possession stats than a bloody win.

Good shout about that free kick… fucking ridiculous.

Fucking disgusting decision.

Leftback.

Exactly. We have the best goal scorer in the world stood around for 90 minutes watching his team mates pass the ball to death at a snails pace! We are creating absolutely nothing at the moment

This issue was pointed out much earlier on in the season, but we just dismissed it as Haaland was converting everything. Now, the opposition have worked out to cut out those very few chances, and it looks like we are playing a man short. Pep has some serious work to do there.

Haaland has been dropping deeper into play quite often now. That is not what we signed him for. Pep needs to talk to himself and Haaland needs to press the line and play the defenders a la Shearer, rather than moping around in what was David Silva's position.

Drives me mad too, wingers get down byline taking someone out of position, we have a beast waiting for the cross, then tricky pull back thru their own legs pass back to someone and either he crosses and everyone is back in position or it gets passed again. It’s been said before on this thread but Haarland got 21 goals cos we looked for him or put balls there for him to chase , but now we ignore him, not even a ball over the top for him to chase.. please, more speed in passing , more passes fir the frontmen in 6 yard box.Shooting is the other one, 11 men behind the ball, why not every now and then bloody shoot.A shot can either… A go in, B deflect in,C,get saved for a corner,D deflect to Haarland for a tap in, or out for a corner .. or even if saved and cleared we get the ball back pressing the second phase.

Funny how that now tent peg has got the scum in good form, there's no protests or riots or Norwich scarfs on show, and now we're not winning every game 5 nil, there's no mention of human rights or FFP or "we can't compete with city's spending" posts on twatter.....strange that

We were shifted by the coppers from the forecourt at midday because there was a protest on its way, they were expecting about 20 people..

If you don’t think it was offside then you obviously don’t understand football

That's about the size of it.....but unfortunately the rules are now so grey,and open to manipulation/abuse,that it's no longer that simple.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Virtually the whole fucking football world and Glenn fucking Hoddle have come out and said it was clearly offside and interfering with play . Rags have brought the game into the gutter yet again and the desperate rag fan base is gloating like a dog with two dicks .Football is seriously fucked football is corrupt to the core !!!

Spoke to lots of fans from various clubs and everyone is unanimous we got shafted, while the giddies are laughing, hardly believing their luck
