I think he's refusing to play certain senior players, something must have kicked off. I know he has the odd brainfart but this sounds like a forced selection. The question is, are the players playing for him? If this is the case, I can see him walking before or at end of season

He might walk. He really might.

Need Haaland to score another hatrick asap and Alvarez to score a diving header or overhead kick. That'll cheers us all up again for a while.

Haarland is on schedule to win the Golden boot. Alvarez has done really well this season.

We just need to win the next game and then set up to win the next game.

We have been in dreamland the last few years but it's become the norm and personally my expectations have gone off the scale. I'll be disappointed for a day or two but fuck me we are in good shape all things considered. Easy to become negative I'm guilty of it.

Fucking horrible none-football wankers to play against. They deserved it as they scored but the reality is that they’re absolute cunts.

Fucking cunts!

Made peace with the fact we wasn’t coming back but all that feigning and diving about and the ref bought it pissed me off. 5 mins added on and 4 of those were wasted with pretend injuries.

Bunch of cunts.

It's not negative to recognise there is a genuine issue on both flanks. Essentially we have no real pace from Grealish, Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo or Palmer and therefore the opposition can congest the middle both neutralising our goal threat and forcing turnovers to hit us on quick breaks.

Agree. They played like a non-league would in the cup.

Then again, every team does, even the dippers. Are we that good, really, that nobody will ever go toe to toe with us and try to entertain?

Something is very wrong behind the scenes. Maybe Cancelo got into other players ears. Not wanting to make him a scapegoat. That said, there is no-one not playing who can thread an early ball through for what Haaland wants and unless we address that, there is fuck all point in playing him

Also, the shirt Ederson was wearing should be our home kit. It’s absolutely spot on.

Anyone noticed the corner we had in the second half when Grealish took it?

It was actually finally a good ball in.
Our set pieces should really count more.

I firmly believe Pep hates us getting corners as he's obsessed with possession. I'm convinced he'd prefer a back pass.

And that is not normal, however, Gundo & Kevin have the worst corner taking abilities I've seen. A total contrast.

It's dark blue mate lol

Same colour as the best kit we’ve ever had - the Kappa one.

A bit of good news after the loss.

The Spurs goalie and captain Hugo Lloris is out for 6-8 weeks with a knee injury

I got one of these and I am a fat knacker nowadays. You can get an iron-on Umbro badge from ebay and the job's a good'un.
