In which game this season did you think we played well, controlled the game and won well?

I can think of one - Sparta Prague at home in the Champions League. But your point still stands as I can think of Fulham at home being a particularly fortunate win.

got off to a flyer in that one, then spurned chances until 10 mins into second half. Commentary felt we should have been out of sight by half time and Prague would be happy at 1-0. In fact I think Prague had a couple of good chances on the breakaway. In the end we got 5 goals but I felt we missed a chance to get into double figures. Prague I thought would be cannon fodder for most decent teams

We haven't this season, I'm making the point it hasn't been a year it's been since September. Recent, 2 months

He recognizes we have issues.

Then why the fuck does he refuse to be pragmatic, set up the team accordingly to deal with those issues.

We saw against Feyenord Pep change the game completely with just 15 minutes left.

We were lacking confidence already 5 losses on the bounce,3-0 up with 15 minutes left.He subs the best players and manages to turn a 3-0 win in to a 3-3 draw..We should have left that side as it was to get that win over the line.Fucking arrogance on his part..He has done similar before leaving us hanging on for victory in games were rolling out comfortable winners.

Would he do similar today if were 3-0 up at Anfield with 15 minutes to go ?,not a chance.

Pep needs a long hard look in the Mirror his tactics and game management this season have been shocking.

Yes we have had injuries etc,then manage accordingly ffs.

His Job is to make the Sum of the Team bigger than its moving parts.

It has not happened this season.In fact he has made our situation much worse on this shit run with his management.

Why i fully expect him to set us up the only way he knows how at Anfield. Reason being he knows no other way.And we will play right in to their fast counter attacking football.

Would love him to prove me wrong.

He subbed Gundo who everyone was saying previously shouldn't have started. I was at the game and nobody was questioning 2 of the subs. A few murmurings about the kid coming on at the back but everyone was convinced the game was won. The individual errors that cost the game are in no way down to Pep

Plays Gundo 90 mins when he's playing crap, takes him off after 75 mins when he's playing well. Sums him up. Kinda like the numerous times he's taken off Haaland before he gets his hattrick, which pisses him off no end

Douglas Luiz available from Juventus. I would snap him up.

What really does my head in is why he would experiment so much with players filling Rodri's place instead of giving a go to a kid like O'Reilley who is trained from a young age to do THE EXACT FUCKING JOB.

Why this constant insanity to experiment and keep players from getting their full potential (Rico, Grealish).

He’s not shit. Juve like us, are in poor form. At 26 he would be a good addition to us IMHO.
