Why do we look so unfit? We had an extra days rest than them yet their press and work rate was better than ours. When the results are not going well, you have to dig in and work hard. We are not working hard enough.

Why did pep take so long to get the fucking subs on too. Both Grealish and Stones seemed to be waiting to come on for ages.

Grealish has 1 Champions league, 3 premier league titles, 1 FA Cup, 1 UEFA super cup and 1 FIFA club World Cup. In three years. Let that sink in…

For context.. you can’t win forever!

A rather extraordinary take. You are mixing the accolade earned by the ability/performance of the entire team of players and the staff/the club with that of one individual player.

Didn't Eddie make a great save from a header in the second half?

It was going wide

Didn't Eddie make a great save from a header in the second half?

Regulation and not on target anyway.

And also some fans. He was not bad today, playing in a position, which is not his prefered one. Yes, the penalty was his fault, stupid, but they are fucking humans, everybody of us made some mistakes.

What is his natural position - I don’t have a clue ?

He’s not a holder, he can’t tackle, shoot, run past a player - he’s not a no10 it’s not on the left or the right - just what the f**k is Nunes ?

They were great, so was Franny Buzzer and the king, now they need to move on, it shouldn't have come to this Pep Txiki whoever
Just all too slow the fuck ups are just a result of it

Nah, it's the execution that's the issue. You can see it watching on TV.

Players in the wrong place, getting each others way, not making the little movements into space etc.

Classic collective loss of confidence and playing with fear.

Combined with the injuries and ageing key players, it's a perfect storm.

Reaction time by some is sad to see...

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Performance was so bad. Boring, tired, lazy and dumb.

This season is just unbearably disappointing. I guess FYCs like me need this, eh?

Kevs finished , hurts to say that but that injury he's got is horrible, i didn't know what it was but looked up sports hernia, it's a nasty injury , how he can even play a little on the pitch is a miracle. Explains him not being in the team much this season

a chronic groin pain condition that affects athletes

" Sports hernias often cause immediate and severe pain in the lower abdomen and/or groin, especially during twisting movements. The pain may improve with rest but return when you resume activity.

A sports hernia won't heal on its own, but surgery may not be required. Because the injury doesn't involve herniation, it can sometimes heal with rest, physical therapy, and the use of anti-inflammatory medications. That's not always the case, though, and surgery may be necessary to fully resolve the injury."

Sounds about right, KDB is a shadow of his former self. Walker embarrassed himself, again.Come the transfer window any selling team will massively increase the cost for even average players.

There’s a pattern that’s developed….
We are conceding late in games, we rarely ever conceded in the last third of the game, but just lately we look jaded after an hour and get sloppy, errors creep in and it has cost us dearly. Is this due to players running out of steam, lack of confidence, weak mentality or just a temporary lack of form?

Bournemouth was our first loss in 32 games (Thirty two). We were top!
Brighton, leading until 78th minute then concede twice in quick succession.
Feyenoord 3-0 up in 76th minute then concede three in quick succession
Spurs late goal
Liverpool late goal
Today, tops it all. Leading our bitter rivals in the 88th minute and conceded twice in final two minutes.

We looked very nervy after about an hour today and we settled into a negative pattern and this gave them the initiative. Worth noting that the penalty came from our corner in the 88th minute. A shite corner, but we retained posession and ended up passing it about to the last man, Nunes, who then committed hari kari. From the resulting KO, we nearly fucked it up again! Then, Gvardiol and Nunes let Diallo run between them…. Gvardiol should have stopped that scuffed shot too. Villa is now a huge watershed for us, lose that and lose to Everton and CL qualification is on the line for sure.
