These last two games are very telling. All the talk that he had rediscovered his mojo has well and truly been dispelled.

Two hideous results

Remember when players like Leroy Sane/Sterling getting continuously hooked for rogue passes.

wtf happened to his standards.

Now there are sloppy passes all over the field every game. Our players look the most unfit in the League. We come against any physicality we bottle out of all 50/50 Balls. Such a soft side with no leaders. Set piece Coach is shocking also.

Life on easy street for Pep since the Treble, his back room staff and most of our squad.

Liverpool already contemplating sacking Slot after a Title win with the unacceptable drop off.

We have been shit for over 18 months. And seem determined to let him destroy his lasting legacy, and leave us languishing outside the Top 4 before leaving the Club, like we owe it to him out of respect.

We need a change.

Another poor result , performance wise. A very lucky win.
Pep had absolutely zero idea in that 2nd half. We needed physicality and got none. Haaland should have been hooked at half time. For someone keen to chase personal records, his efforts were piss poor.
Last week the manager was prepared to swap every player, this week they're all glued to the fucking bench.
The result papers over some pretty large cracks.
Not changed my mind from last season Pep should go sooner rather than later

Completely agree we can all see it, why can’t the management?

All this dressing down for the players at the end of the game in full view is just embarassing to all. Haaland might well have deserved it but for fucks sake do it in the dressing room in private. Pep is just odd

Haaland. Middle of the pitch. Gardiola said in post match interview he needs to rest his head not just his body. Inferred he need to do more to get himself into the game

Why does Haaland always have this shit period every season. I know he can’t score every game but fuck me he was just lolloping around yesterday with no hunger, aggression or will to do anything. I love him to bits obviously, but his lack of effort in his last couple of games is truly baffling.

woodwork twice, an assist and his 100th goal , beating Shearer's record by many games. Poor form eh ?

Pep hasn’t changed much at all since last season - he’s still got his favourites that he will play no matter what (Savhino ) and no matter how bad or good you are in one game , you will either be out the next game or play if you played shit the previous game.

It’s Deja vu every other game.Todays result and performance was a joke - a fucking joke.

We won’t be in the top 2 for long.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Savinho is a mystery, but beyond that I think other than Haaland and more recently Doku and Foden, I wonder if the biggest issue is that he doesn't know who his best team is in defence and midfield. I certainly can't figure it out - there's nobody in midfield truly standing up to be counted, John Stones coming on is evidence he thinks we're really lightweight in midfield.

Nico, Silva and Reindeers appear to be first choice, but there are times like last night and a few other times this season when they have blown really hot and cold and been close to being overrun, and the only solution at that point is to hook foden and/or doku and try and shore it up. I don't think Savinho can ever be the solution though - to any problem, and Pep is a cunt for keep playing him unless he knows somethig more than we do and is trying to play him into form.

Last night in the 2nd half was total deja vu of last season, overrun in midfield and the wings, and conceding with every attack, while Haaland wastes chances at the other end.

One consolation, it wasn't pass pass pass pass pass zzzzzzzz, I don't think it will be the last time this season we see a scoreline like this - and at 2nd in the table with 2 tight wins after a mid-game collapse, I'm just glad the rest of the league are shit........even though we are wank, we can still win the league, that's fucking insane.

We can win the league. And so can the rags or Spurs or even Everton.

However in reality, we won't and top 5 and CL qualification, (assuming England maintains its coefficient position for an extra place), is what we are going for

Better but the two strikes against the posts should really have been goals.

My first reaction was to say fuck off, we can't turn into what arsenal were for 20 years.

But I guess the reality when you've dominated domestically, as much as I hate it, the next question for the club is about dominating Europe - which raises an interesting question.

Does a squad that dominates the premier league have what it takes to dominate in Europe the way Real Madrid have, or do we need a different squad for Europe which could cause us to lose ground in the Prem? I don't think that's where the club is going, but if they did, it's an interesting question that has implications for what we're watching week in week out in the coming years.
