We bid for Rice,bought Erling Josko,Dok,Nunes,Savinio and Echivero ?Has felt like something changed in the transfer department 2/3 years ago.
Previously we were so surgical in the market. Knew which quality players they wanted and got them with minimal fuss.
Then for the last 2/3 summer windows the quality has been below the required standard, they've been doing haphazard bids for players like Rice, not filling positions we needed and settling for panic buys.
It's been very bizarre.
Thankfully Pep has worked miracles but with injuries the above situation has caught up with us.
And that's a large part of the problem.Silly post. We don’t have the squad size to completely drop KDB, Gundo, Walker and Grealish,
You are just being silly now, then you make comments about people making silly comments.For some on here, anything less than 5 titles in a row is a disgrace.
Yes, who all left at just the right time. Our current problem is too many players past their best and running on empty. I admit though a leader is needed.Penny for the thoughts of Aguero, Kompany, Fernandinho and David Silva right now.
True leaders.
From where I was sat in CBL1 looked like he had a chance late on but was on his heels.Rock bottom now after that disgrace, no excuses it was an abysmal performance. Pep on borrowed time because he simply has no answers how to get us out of this shit. Even at 1-0 up we were piss poor, playing against another piss poor rag outfit.
Haaland has given up, such a lazy fucker today looking half arsed. Absolutely livid with that shite!
Pep wants the sack ??
Over the years there has been some stupidity posted on here, but your comment is utterly ludicrous.
A more plausible scenario is that he tells Khaldoon that he' ll leave at the end of the season and for him (Khaldoon) to get on and sign his replacement up.
It allows for an orderly, confidential process, and may be best for all parties.
Twixt, get behind the (knackered) team and coach, theyve given us some of the greatest football experiences of our lives.
I don't see where the next good result is going to come from and I'm usually very positive. It's a long way to go until next May. Forget the rebuild in the Summer for now. It's about how we get out of the rut that we are in right nowThere is no solution to this
The players are done.....big players are finished....been saying it since the start of the season....Yes we are missing rodri BUT there is a bigger set of problems...
KDB, Gundo are both finished...for me I would drop them both now and play kids in their place for the rest of the season....they are absolutely pointless and we are playing with two less players in midfield every week.....they have been exposed time and time again week in and out....not just today - a better team would have scored more against us today and taken the game to us from the off.
Grealish -Ive said from day one with him - he offers zero attack or defensively. - he is the biggest mistake our club have ever made post takeover.
Walker - everyone can see it - he is done....he has lost confidence and he knows it as well....and the other solution in rico is no bettter if not worse.
Stones and AKe are pointless at this point also as they cannot stay fit for more than a few weeks at a time...less with Stones.
The problems are huge and are way bigger than the game today - they have been there all season for everyone to see. ...no midfield and no fullbacks.....
A huge rebuild is needed in the summer and it is not going to happen over the winter period.
Just those two mate, I could name another 9 to add to thatJust got home. What an Absolute predictable shit show. Even upto 88 minutes we were woeful and played with zero enterprise.
Never ever under Pep have I seen a performance like the 2nd half.
Why wasn’t Stones in earlier (he was even stood ready to come in for an age)
Cannot see a way out of this situation with these players. Hope Pep can.
Walker, Doku diabolical
Who would have that these words would ever be said. Be here we are.I think we need to focus on 40 points. We need another 13 to be safe. Most teams in their day can beat us.
Well perhaps going out of this season's CL and not qualifying for next season's might help them get their heads out of their arses.This together with charges had made the top brass think too much about the bottom line imo
