Why not do the game management at 2-0? Why wait until 2 1, 2 2 3-2 down? Absolute joke we need to see games out, the dippers showed us how it's done on Wednesday night

Trying to make sense of the last two results. I don't know if I'm simplifying it too much but maybe we're just having our bad spell now, at probably the worst possible time. Every team has at least a short run of poor results at some point, even title winners

I do worry sometimes he slips he is actually moving away from the ball
Know the rules use your eyes. And I will repeat again I would have given both but one was blatant(Sergio) one wasn’t (young) it ain’t hard folks
They are not rules, hilts, they are Laws! And they were not applied today as they should have been. And as for using my eyes, that's exactly what I did, as did most of 323 I expect. It was right in front of us!
No probs mate...Sorry mate my mistake just banging my head on a brick wall tonight
Ask Gavvo. Sounds like I'm having a go at him but I'm not, just genuinely don't get how he sees it like he does.
Absolutely scandalous how that’s not given. Granted we shouldn’t have needed it but not the point. 3-3 against 10 men and we probably win.

I think we have been great, but the rest have been inconsistent and overall quite poor.
We've made them all look ordinary.
One big problem with pep is he doesn’t make subs at the right time. At 2-2 we needed someone like kev on to give us back a fighting edge not when the 3 rd goal goes in.
He should know that missing chances and then the scum making 2-1 the game has changed that’s when the changes needed to be done but like I said on the prematch thread Pep thinks the leagues won and all his efforts is on Tuesday.

Gutted about that today. Not necessarily because we didn’t sew the league up from a very decent position, not even because it was against United. It’s the way we lost it that pissed me off. Too casual at times, really, really poor defending for all 3 goals and we’re obviously guilty of missing more than a few chances ourselves.
The team selection was surprising, I thought he’d have gone for this given he’s often played our strongest 11 against lower placed teams. But, give him his dues, it worked in the first half. What concerns me is that we’re incapable of playing any other way. Our system works when we’re on the front foot, but not when teams get at us. Our in game management is poor when teams push on and that, in my opinion is not going to win us the champions league.
We’ve thrown an opportunity today that we’d all have loved and talked about for years. I can get over that, but we’ve thrown it so we can chase what I think is a lost cause on Tuesday. I think we’ll win on Tuesday, but we won’t keep a clean sheet and we’ll go out.
They must have been told to sit back and conserve energy in the 2nd half. We did it last week against Everton, but Everton didn’t press us so we kept the ball pretty easily. When they did press us, albeit for a very short period in that game, they scored.
We’ll win the league, it’s been a great season, but at the minute I’m fucking raging about things I’d have bollocked my under 13s side for doing.

the handball isn't deliberate but it does give them an advantage in that it clearly takes the ball away from sterling.
The one on sergio is a penalty and probably a red all day long
Need to log off, if I watch that Young tackle again I’ll lose my shot, HOW is that not a pen and a red card?
