As a team I actually think 75% is overstating our performance. Far too many sloppy balls all through the team and I was happy Arsenal weren't at it.. Against a team playing well against us we may not have won. Having said that if they had played better maybe we would have as well.

Loads for Pep to work on


One point PeP made was Mendy was all over the place , he has no fuckign discipline and I can guarantee that PeP will tell him in no uncertain terms to stick to the plan otherwise he will be benched.

I agree , a top team and those mistakes would have cost us 100% - id hazard a guess he will play next week and we will see a huge improvement.

All over the place, the only position we didn't see him playing in the first half yesterday was in goal..
What was he at. Pep without doubt will have a 'discussion' with him. If he can prise him away from Instagram that is.

Delph not injured just left out of yesterdays squad according to Stu Brennan MEN . Zinchenko not good enough to get in the squad with only Danilo injured .

Crucial miss by the ref when mendy grabbed one of their defenders by the neck which would have resulted in a 100% penalty!

Anyway - its obvious to everyone , Mendy included , that he needs to improve on yesterdays performance..its the first game so all is forgiven.

Roll on next week !!

I fully expect 21 points from the first 7 matches now
