What's the problem(s)?

[MeatHunterrr]

Pep and Txiki aren't guilty that legends get older and need to be replaced.

Kompany, Ferna, Silva and Aguero are PL legends for a reason: it's not easy to replace them. Can't happen for 1-2 months. Especially amidst an injury crisis.

Why would Kevin leave, how many clubs have more talented squads? It's not like we lack quality and won't be able to compete for years to come. Strange comment.

We lack quality, come on. Especially in midfield except KDB.

KDB can easily fuck off to Bayern, they would utterly destroy us.

Think you are pretending that things are better than they actually are.

Txiki is absolutely responsible for it. It took 18 months for him to replace Kompany. Everyone has known for a while that Aguero is getting wrong side of 30. Same with Silva and again with Fernandinho.

Its not come out of the blue! He has had years to prepare for this and has made mess of it.

Oh you ain't allowed to say this mate.

You are,but its nonsense.

A few duds certainly,but to make a sweeping statement is way off.

Players are dotted around doing their own thing, rather than working as a cohesive unit. We used to hunt the ball as a team, not as individuals. Movement, pressing and passing quality all well below our usual as well. WE have some very talented players but they need to get back to playing as a team for each other.

Is he a left back of striker?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Too many times we have conceded goals out of nothing ruined the confidence. One decent counter attack & our football standard drops.

Not enough pace & athleticism in centre mid.

Not fit enough in general.

Back 4 not good enough (may be soon).

Same players have been doing the same attacking moves for years. Not enough new ideas from players or manager

For now at least (he's young and can still learn) I'd give up on Rodri, and go back to Fernandhino in front of the defence and play Bernardo, Fernandhino thinks quicker, and is more effective, Rodri is often great when we're on top, but poor when we aren't.

Not sure if you noticed but there was a point in the second half when Rodri had his hands in his knees and was blowing through his arse, he's great when we're dominating games but if we're under the cosh the game passes him by. You can bet your bottom dollar that Gundo will be straight back in after the international break

It is a marathon not a sprint . this is a transition time , i have no expectations and in fact not a lot of interest

I hope you're right, I really do. I hope you're on here next may, reminding me of this and saying "I told you so".

 

[borassic]

Giroud please

haha

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

A lack of ruthlessness on and off the pitch, at least 2 players in that starting 11 should have been moved on.

 

[Mike N]

We have a system where our full backs have more of the ball than their ability deserves them to have.

I know we achieved great things in the past but these two are a serious liability to our team now. Mistake after mistake and no chances created.

Feels like the end of an era.

I’m not surprised our best player looks pissed off.
