Bobb starts in the EDS home match against Crystal Palace. On the bench soon you'd think. Maybe in the Cup match or against Southampton?

Why was Dias taking our goal kicks yesterday? None of us at the game could work it out. Was there a specific reason?

Guessing Ortega can’t kick it accurately?

[Mase]

Completely forgot about Simpson-Pusey. He’s well and truly been fucked off since the two new lads came in.

I thought that but it went back to him a few times and he booted it long. You’d think the players wouldn’t put him under pressure if he’s struggling. It was a weird one.

If someone who had been in a coma for two or three years watched us now compared to before they were in said coma, you’d be forgiven for thinking we had a caretaker manager as our previous identity and way of playing has gone

It was noticeable last year, but the FA Cup final was the largest turd in the water pipe for me. It was the start of the shit that was to come, indeed if it was not for the PL being absolutely Bobbins this season we wouldn't be anywhere near top 4.

[blues2win]

Reis playing for the EDS too which makes sense. Bobb let off international duty by Norway having spoken to our medics.

[blues2win]

Simpson Pusey playing in midfield it seems and has scored.

[blues2win]

Bobb played for 60 minutes.

Do you blame him? What would you do if your boss treated you the way Pep’s treated him? I’d fuck off as well

Fair enough.....i get it he has been treated like a cunt, and i agree he actually has.

I thought he looked great as the 10 against Forest.

Pep obviously felt differently, maybe he was not Robotic enough, deviated away too much from his shit soul destroying pass, pass pass pass keep possession football for the point of keeping possession.

I can not be the only one who is sick of it now.

Any way back to Jack, yes i agree with you.

Still think the optics look bad for him.

Who ever signs him in the summer will be getting a well rested player. I thoroughly expect him to excel as a 10 somewhere he is allowed to play real football and actually be encouraged to pass forward.

Agree with all that. Hate to say it but he’d do great for someone like Arsenal

How many ‘ naturally talented ‘ players has pep fucked up ?
Alvarez
Grealish
Foden (played him everywhere until he went dizzy and now doesn’t know what the fuck to do )

How many more ?

[stupot]

Alvarez's stats in Madrid are very similar to here, ditto Grealish with Villa. Foden was PFA Player of the Year last season after playing for him for 7 years.
I tell you what is different for them and that's their medal count.

[Nick]

And yeah as well as everyone else, dias has been shit since he's doing all this marketing shit and snagging wannabes

Stats tell half the story ........Alvarez has lit up the la liga with his all round performances and hes used as a forward alongside Griezman and not made to play in in a different position, every other fuckign game, when he was with us...hes playing far better at Atletico and that's a fact.

Grealish has had his natural talent fucked out of him by Pep..everyone can see it ( almost everyone) and he will be sold this summer.

Foden has been utter utter shit this season and I know you like you wank off about yesteryear but most of us are living in the present....Foden is a shadow of the player he once was.

You keep focusing about yesteryear and if that makes feel warm inside then good for you but the fact is pep has been utter utter shit this season and there have been enough signs to tell us hes not going to get any better next season...he wont change his ways and hes proved that all season long with his shit fucking tactics.

Most of us on here can see it and most of us wouldn't bat an eye lid if he walked away after this season - I can guarantee there will be many pissed off fans if he stays when or if we dont qualify for the CL !!

[stupot]

And I can guarantee there'll be a lot more pissed off opposition fans if he stays. They know that the "yesteryear" you just dismiss will never be surpassed.
January's signings will make us better next season, everyone can see how good Khusanov and Marmoush are and they'll only get better. Reis also is quality. With Rodri and Bobb plus the Argentinian kid there's every sign that we'll be fighting on all fronts again.
Foden was MOTM last game last season as we won the league, went away with England and was shit and for whatever reason not recovered, Grealish has had umpteen off field incidents just as he did at Villa so hasn't helped himself and Alvarez wanted out and we got top dollar for him which is part of the money we have just spent in Jan.

You’ve just ignored stats when I pointed out Savio lost the ball 4 times against Newcastle and had one assists, 3 shots and zero goals..

[PeterParker]

We are making out of Bobb the new mesiah, I swear.
He showed less than Palmer did before he was sold.
