No, and best manager in world tm
How the fuck does today happen?

Shit players, some players out of form and some who couldn't give a fuck, none of whom are capable of playing the system the manager wants them to

We do have an injury crisis of sorts. First Bravo isn't injured which is a shame. Second one of our best central midielders is injured in Gundo and the best is suspended in Dinho. Add Fernando being injured which is a bigger blow that many would accept.

But the key for me is a mixture of 3 things. Some crap players being selected to to what they are not capable of ( Zaba in midfield and yaya in a holding role against a team that plays on the break), or either of the left backs defending), some really out of form with Aguero leading the way and Pep not playing a sensible formation just when I thought it might have clicked for him.

So he should realise this and adapt. Play to our strengths and play his system when he has the personnel to do it.

Exactly what are our strengths and how do we play to them?

Thats for PeP to work out isn't it , hes the fuckign manager ffs.!

All I know is that these players can play the same football we played last year - I will take that right now , get in 3rd or 4th spot as right now, playing the fuckign PEP way, we are going down faster than the titanic.

I asked the same question, Doug.

If I'd give it a go I'd say our strengths are possession football, attacking prowess, ball on the ground.

Problem is that it seems that our weaknesses don't go so well with our strengths and they have been getting worse by the season over the last few (age, pace, injuries to key players, lack of organisation/leadership in defence, and we have several players aware they are out the door after the season).

This. The squad is not much different to last season. We are far too easy to score against and Aguero is a passenger most of the time. Imagine how many he'd score if we got him involved.
