Not just heartless, panicking, we don't have a divine right to win so we just have to try and turn it around.

Well said

Pep cant evolve without the players....

Another manager comes in tomorrow....do you think that that would change anything in the way we perfofm or play - I dont.....we would see different tactcis potentially, different set up but the fact is simple....none of that works with players who can no longer play the physical side of the game at the top level and there in lies the problem with 3 of our key players...Gundo, KDB and Walker

It's difficult to see how Pep can turn things around from here and I'm normally the most positive about our current situation. Maybe tomorrow I'll think differently but I just cannot see a solution to the adding up of the losses. The rot is not stopping. I thought Forest was a watershed but the injuries accrued from that game put us back further. Akanji and Ake are not back 100% fully fit until January at least. Had we had one of those 2 today we would have won. Maybe he should give himself until end January , sign a central defender as cover for Akanji and/or Ake( because they can be injured again by season end) and a DM and then if it is still not working have a look at what would be the inevitable.

Going have to get big sam in at this rate

Getting Big Sam or Tony Pulis to come and coach the defence for a bit wouldn't be a bad shout tbh.

We look like a pub team at the back.

Thought we were the better team today but throwing it away like that is hard to take. Still think we'll make top 4. United will be nowhere near. In terms of the prognosis, we're in the same position we were at 4.29pm: We need a rebuild. We've left it late and made it harder for ourselves but it's nothing we haven't come back from before.

Kyle walker not even in the top 10 things that went wrong today maybe that pathetic excuse of a dive at 11

He the topped it with his throw in that went straight out. He is a joke of a player now.

The turd derby: Untied were shit, but somehow we managed to out-shit them.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

It was a mid-table Championship level game at best but we'd done just about enough to win it. Then we needlessly threw it away yet again.

Khaldoon & Soriano should be sitting down with Pep tomorrow and looking him in the eye, asking if he's got answers. Great if he has but if he hasn't, then we should start looking for his replacement. Quickly.

While there is no comparison between Pep and Mark Hughes as managers, this is like the situation with Hughes back in 2009. He had no answers to the inability to win games and was shown the door. Yes, Pep. has credit in the bank but he's rapidly going into his overdraft.

Spineless cowards

Some things are unforgiveable.... that's one of them

This team are not spineless cowards.

They've won a treble, 4 titles in a row, setting record after record.

Something many on here are so quick to forget because they can't deal with losing games.

The team has come to an end in its current form. Compounded by an injury to the world's best player. The club and Pep will rebuild it.

In the meantime people need to stop with the over the top comments.

The number of times Alan Ball has been mentioned in this thread is starting to worry me!

When Frank Clarke rears his head you’ll know it’s time to run to the hills.

I don’t know what al the fuss is about.
I’ve only managed to get to the match once this season against Forest and it was a great game I really enjoyed it. 3 goals, clean sheet, perfect.
I don’t know what the rest of you are going on about.
