We are all hurting at the moment and I really have no idea what is the answer. Bernardo telling a few home truths but this has been the mantra rolled out after every bad result perhaps with a little less venom.
If we were looking at another team and not our own you would probably say the manager has lost them. Like Roberto whose managerial style was anger based, which worked until the players stopped listening, the players now seem shell shocked and incapable of turning it round. Make no excuse this was a game against a very poor team and yet when we were ahead we literally stopped playing. I don't know if saying Pep has lost the team would be an over reaction but to have the worst form of any PL team for nearly 2 months is unacceptable and tells us a lot.
I said before this game that I wanted Pep to be ruthless - I wanted him to drop the skipper, make a big call & bring in an academy player.I wanted him to make a firm decision on the keeper because what I see is ever since the Saudi money was dangled to Eddie he is not the same player. But it didn't happen - well now I think it has to. He has to stop talking about injuries, stop making the same excuses and shake the squad up. At the moment we have players who don't feel any culpability for making error after error.
Bernardo hinted at it & is the first senior player to actually call out a teammate. That is correct if Nunes and Eddie had just been patient even after first errors we would not have conceded at all.
Bottom line is you only appreciate good times when you've had bad. I felt as a collective we had become a bit complacent - fans and players alike. The games became a question of not if we would win more how many would we win by. Those times are over and once again today you could probably only say 2 or 3 had really good games - that is not a winning formula.
Changes will be made but it is now a question of needing to do something drastic to stop us being another team whose fall is catastrophic - it's that bad, Leeds bad if you will and that is not being foolish just a statement of fact.
