We didn’t keep one clean sheet in the group stages.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Fantastic, so Walker will miss the whole knockout round.

Just fucking stupid managerial decisions tonight that will cost us in the future. Piss poor.
And then you wonder why people get annoyed with him and call him Baldie.

Kyle only has himself to blame for that

Nope , the manager is to blame for playing him in a no mark game .

Manager made alot of mistakes tonight but walker booting someone is not his fault. Wouldnt mind he didnt even catch him properly. It was cowardly and braindead.

Poor old Carl has slim pickings on pep these days, give him his nibble mate.

Although, this ranks highly in his most absurd ones

I bet you knocked one out when you saw my “baldie “ comment and couldn’t wait to post .


Piss funny.

[Outcast]

It's a shitty pointless game. I'm not really fussed, rather we lost this than one that actually matters. I don't think the players gave it 100 %, I can't really blame them, pick up unnecessary injury and it's a struggle getting back into first 11. It's a shame youngsters didn't play, I'm sure they would have been right up for it. Apart from the selection, I won't lose sleep over it. We move on

Real nonsense if you think Carl's post isn't spot on.
I think some consider Pep above the club.

Kev getting a free ride again?

[sheblue]

I blame that shitty cheapo looking knocked off T shirt we were wearing.
No one deserves to win wearing anything like that.

[nottsblue]

Kev getting a free ride again?

Nope

He was poor. I expect better from him. It isn't as if we were playing Bayern

[Outcast]

Kev getting a free ride again?

Shame they can't give Grealish a free pass too

[stupot]

Stones getting a free ride as well.
If that was Laporte

[Mase]

To be fair to Stones we weren’t playing in white with the England badge on. Poor guy must be due an “injury” again soon.

[carl_feedthegoat]

@Peterparker ,,,, you probably won’t get any response mate , he only slinks onto the site if I mention the word “baldie” in any post .

It’s fucking hilarious .

I think neither your nor Carl's post was spot on. By the way, who should've played right back with Cancelo rested?

[blues2win]

Spot on. It was fair to play Walker and fair to expect him to play a lot better and above all not get sent off. By the way Stones was poor too.

[Green & Blue]

Crap all round.

Baffled Pep didn’t take the opportunity to field a few of the kids tonight, I was quite looking forward to seeing how they’d perform in what was a fairly pointless fixture.

Just doesn’t add up. Peps been vocal about having so few available and players getting tired and he ignores this opportunity.

A kid.
In games like this one you give kids a chance because some of them need to step up like Phil did, if we want to use our youth system instead of searching the market for someone who will ultimately try to milk us.
A pointless game where you use players that need game time: Kevin, Grealish, Mahrez, Fern and kids, kids that are around the first squad who will gain experience after tonight.

Playing Gundo 90 minutes, throwing Dias in is pure bizarre, but most of all, for me, that I have a feeling he learned fuckall and at some point this season, don't know when, but in a key moment, another colossal brainfart will come.
You can put that in writing. I would love to be wrong, but he can't help it. As good as he is, it is more than clear he doesn't have all of his things in order in his head.

[Nick]

Literally the one player who is over used along with cancelo rodri and bern and the mong gets sent off

Literally said pre game that team but with palmer right back n mcatee

Agreed.

[Beefymcfc]

I do wonder if Pep picked that team to show that he was keeping the integrity of the group, knowing that either Leipzig or Bruges could go through to the Europa. The team didn’t look to be giving it everything as was shown when we weren’t too pushed to get back or create more space up front. And, motivation. Nobody seemed to be and that often comes from the manager in these games.

[Mase]

Stones was at fault for both goals. Played the guy on for the first and gave the ball away for the second.

Which kid? As far as I am aware, we have no right back from the academy who is close to the first team. He could've, perhaps should've, played Mcatee, Palmer or Lavia, but it wouldn't have been fair to either if them to gave them play right back.
