Oh good - and yet it happened.
Those comments make losing to that shower of shit so much more palatable.
Get in the fuckin dressing room and have the ruck that's requires to sort this shit out!!!!

We seem scared in possession in our own half, something we've never seen until recently. Even when we've played poorly before under pep we've always looked comfortable in possession. I know there are some key players out, but it looks like the confidence has drained from them

Fewest points per game in the PL since 1st Nov

Wow. Make it make sense.

That last mad 5 minutes aside we were much the better side.

Got to disagree with you on this one, I thought we were nearly as bad as they were.

I’m not a Pep out, but maybe he needs to change his backroom team, we look stale. Not sure what Juanma Lillo brings but a different voice and someone with other ideas to push Pep maybe what we need to kick start us

A colleague of mine and I were discussing exact same thing. What’s the other two blokes doing now who were with Pep before, they may have more energy.

Sat in traffic on the bus and just about to post the same….completely different forum if the last 5 mins had not happened.

I thought Pep had set us up ok and a lot more pragmatic .but he can’t legislate for the error by Nunes (Who had a more than decent game until that hoodie back pass)

After the back pass why the hell he gave the penalty away when we had enough men back ….but that’s down to mentality.

Their first goal I’m sure actually came from a corner to City….what is it about not being able to beat the first man.

That was a poor United team….but we are not much better….I’m sure the headlines will have Amorim down as a tactical genius but the reality is was more down to our own self destruction.

By my reckoning over half that team today requires replacing…including maybe Ederson

But the last 5 minutes did happen and not for the first time.

One win in eleven...

Bollocks. We didn't have a clue

First things first pep is a legend and he gets the chance to turn this around clearly.

My worry is we need a huge overhaul. Pep is obviously near the end of his stay here be it 2 years or less. So it did seem the right time to go was next summer so a new manager can really create his own dynasty and has less sentimentally to the existing players that produced the goods for pep.

Does he really want to say to Walker, stones, Ederson, kdb, silva and Gundo you need to find a new club? As that’s going to be tough and the end of an era.

Pep has given us the best years of our footballing lives, he’s a workaholic and will be doing everything to turn this around. He’ll be hurting like mad and I feel for him.

Would we be any worse with Delap up front

I have always believed in the theory of co-relation is not causation but I have to ask - is it the 115 charges?

There is a mental block in the team not witnessed before - have they heard something and the hard working lot who built 4 title winning seasons with their blood and sweat suddenly feel disillusioned.

It could be they know we are going to be cleared. Has released all the tension that has driven us forward. Who knows?
