And we were worse

[Beefymcfc]

Did anybody understand the set-up?

What is not to understand?

Ha ha ha, perfectly put

It reminded me of in the past when Pep was introducing new players, had a way of playing in his head but nobody really understood because it was their very first time.

Not saying that it excuses our fuck ups, the first 2 goals were self-inflicted, and the rest were always coming with passing like that.

Looks like we need to concentrate on winning cups this season

What? Fucking egg cups

[Tru_Blu]

the whole fucking team can not pass over 10 yards... this is got to be something Pep coaches out of the players

Good one.

Wonder what Grealish has done wrong to not even be given a sniff. Brought on the other week and scored and was involved in the second and then we don’t see him again.

Gabriel jeering at Haaland after their first goal. Horrible cunt. Haaland rising above it. Come on the dippers. Anyone but the Arse for the title.

Forget Grealish, he went on a three month drinking fest.
The actual question is what poor Rico did to upset Pep? Didn't he deliver when he was wrongly played out of position?

Not won a trophy in his career that chap. Delusional.

No bollox and no fight once the second goal went in. Something that been the case far too many times this season. Standing off and letting them pass it around. One kick from Bernardo the only thing resembling fight out of them. Too easy to play against and far too open. If the midfield and full back reinforcement don’t come in there is no chance of top 4.

Stones was on one leg couldn’t run 80 minutes in, how he wasn’t replaced is beyond me , I would be shocked if he isn’t set for another spell on the sidelines now.

Could pick holes in every performance the mistakes, gifting them goals but the lack of fight is inexcusable.

Goal difference takes a battering aswell when it’s so close in run for 4th.

Worst part, them cunts are not even that good. They did nothing and we put them ahead then they can start playing when our heads drop. Would be shocked if they finish within 5 points of Liverpool. £800m plus spent and one FA cup and a charity shield they celebrate when only there cause we won a treble.

I am surprised he didnt whip stones off at 80. Game was done and he was in bits we need him for the rest of the season. Would have done no harm to throw one of the new defenders on. Strange.

A painful, painful season....for whatever reason, the players have just downed tools, the manager seems clueless. Let's not forget we've won six of the last seven PL's and the last four. We've lost the Ballon D'or winner to injury for what is most likely going to be for the season and naturally that is massive. We did have a warning of this impact last season when he was missing for three games and fuck me we fell apart. So did the club address that obvious effect ? .....no they didn't unless you think Kovacic is the answer, a very decent player some of the time but most definitely not the answer. While we have bought some great players over the last few years there have been a couple of real howlers Phillips (who was rightly hardly ever selected and we won things) and Nunes (who's is continually selected and we lose things) being the most obvious. Our new right back Khusanov must be absolutely brimming with confidence since starting last week and then losing his place to Nunes, he can't defend and he can't attack, what is the point of him ??? its just inexplicable management by Pep. We were schooled by an average Arsenal team today and that is worrying. I don't think Kev is going to give us much more, I have high hopes of Bobb and Rodri will be back, but what state the team will be in when he does is not looking promising at the moment. A season without CL league football is beckoning. Its strange, a City Arsenal game would usually get my heart beating out of my chest, but I was totally relaxed today because I knew we weren't going to win, we are all over the place, its actually embarrassing how bad we have become, no bite, no fight....nothing, just nothing and our so called genius manager has absolutely no answers. So hey ho, the party is over for now. Lets see how good Pep can be when things aren't going well, so far he's been atrocious, lets see what the spending will bring. Sorry its a long rant, its a fucking long season this one !!!!

Win or lose always blues. Hopefully Txiki has got the midfield signing over the line.

[PeterParker]

Alfie Haaland, once a blue, always a blue.

Can understand Gabriel giving him shit, but this kid copying his celebration? Who the fuck is he Haaland could maybe copy his celebration next time he scores…..but who is he? I’ve never seen him score.

Yeah, my issue exactly.
Proper definition of the world. Cringe as fuck to mock Haaland.

[zuricity]

I'm not so sure we can rely on Stones anymore. Certainly not in defence. he gave a hospital pass for the first. twisted his body on the partey goal and failed to close down the new messiah for the third..

It is important to tackle the oppostion before they get into the penalty area. For some reason we are allowing them into the box.

[sheblue]

Didnt see the game due to work. Don't really know the nuts and bolts of it. Having said that it's an absosulety horrific result. Actually deeply embrassing.
