League isnt gone ffs sick of bottlers, same people that gave up under the other titles.

Pep needs to freshen it up. Burnley tuesday. He needs to.

My money is on exact same team but Silva for mahrez and otta for stones. BORE OFF any cunt can slightly rotate.

Have to start Garcia and foden.

Hahahhahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahha

No fucking chance Baldie will stray away from playing Gundo, DS or those inept cunts at the back of our defense to accommodate the ''best talent he has ever seen'' or a defender who ''never has a bad game or makes a bad pass''

Pep wont change and we will fall further behind.
Foden and garcia will stay on the bench.
Fern will continue play out of position.
Gundowank wont be dropped.
Jesus will still be offside.

That's largely how the season pans out.

Ferna should be in MF preventing the carnage at the back. How Otter is not getting a game needs explaining, Foden needs games to iron out his heading!

Agree with Fred at number 6 but not sure about the reliability of Ottamendi, would prefer to try Garcia.

Foden starting is a slam dunk for me. I've watched him in the under 21s (he's 19 by the way!) and he seems to take 15 to 20 mins to adapt to the pace of the game. Bringing him on with 20 mins or less to go is bad management imho.

If Pep dont put Fernandinho back in his natural position to offer our shambolic defense some sort of cover we will struggle badly.

Burnley will know our defense is Dog Shit and lob high Balls in to the Box all night,you can guarantee it will be Keystone Cop defending on our part trying to deal with them.

Pep badly needs to sort is Head out this Season.,because he is as culpable as some of our players for our bad form.

Fernandinho is our best holding midfielder by a Country Mile.

He is the Glue that hols us together.

We need to Steady the Ship.

FFS Pep put him back where we need him.

At his age cameo role, he should have buried the header, not digging him out btw just another example of us being not at it. looking forward it will be an NZ centre forward up front for Burnley into his chest and mayhem for us, if we do not get an early goal another very uncomfortable night on the cards. Over to you Pep.......
