Said the other week that the Feyenoord result felt like the worst one of the lot because of the manner of it. This one feels 10x worse- losing to THEM, playing that badly, and in that manner. And it wasn’t even terrible reffing or something controversial - it was utterly self-inflicted. AGAIN.
Does Gundogan have a twin brother who isn’t a footballer? We appear to have signed him by mistake. Lost count of the number of times play just passed him by in midfield, especially first half. He looked 3 or 4 seconds off the pace every time.
Feel sorry for Nunes actually. He’s not good enough but that’s not the point. Nobody steps out in to a pitch to do that and cost their team a win in the 87th minute of a game. Up to that point he hadn’t done much, but had he done much really wrong apart from one hospital pass in the first half that put them through?
Though Dias and Gvardiol actually looked relatively solid until the capitulation late on.
De Bruyne was alarmingly bad. Bread and butter passes to him never coming off, free kicks nearly hitting the opposite corner flag, devoid of any inspiration or quality. What’s happened to him?
We are going to lose Ortega if he doesn’t get a run soon. Ederson is costing us goals, and points. Ortega deserves a run.
Absolutely gutting and not sure what Pep does from here. Gallows humour is usually the solution to this sort of result but it’s difficult to find any right now. We’re in Phil Neal levels of form.
