KDBs passing was awful today. Something isn't right with him. Gündo should not be starting games. Bernie ? he's doing his best to cover up for other players cock ups.

Honestly think KDB has checked out and doesn’t want to be here


There may be something in that. He certainly has been poor recently. He also looked out of breath for most of the match. which should never happen.

Should never have come to this but shit happens. I'd take a new manager next season and let him blow the transfer kitty and bring a different brand of football. Aggressive wingers and two fullbacks who defend. Ed can go aswell and 5 or 6 others. That was unacceptable to say the least.

Didn't it come out that he's playing with a hernia ? He shouldnt bother as he's a waste of a spot in the team when not fully fit

Pep says the players are playing with anxiety with and without the ball. Injuries and schedule are a big part of the problem but he says bluntly he isn’t good enough at the moment to get them to play with calmness. Didnt feel we played well today but should have seen the game out as we have many times before. No point blaming this or that action it’s his fault. I’m not good enough he concludes. Got to think hard work hard to improve things he concluded.

I have sat next to the same people for a very long time. We knew it would happen once it went 1-1. If I hear a pro footballer or pundit or
manager say unless you’ve played the game at our level you’ll never understand, bollocks you arrogant twat. Fucking schoolboy defending for both goals. Fanny merchants arses fell out again. As for the good old days when we were shite. We are there Blues. Poor Dias must be thinking WTF are this lot on. Oh and Walkers dive, just fuck off you tart.

This whole “x player or y manager has credit banked” is absolute horse shit.

WE’VE given them an opportunity at the best club in the world over the past ten years and because they’ve been here they’ve won everything. They could have gone to any other club in England and not won anywhere near as much as they have here.

They’ve not played for free! They’ve won everything warning £150-300k a week!!! No one has credit banked.

They owe us just as much as we owe them.

True he had a good game today. Until his bad mistakes Nunes had played well.

He didn’t play well until his mistake. He was bang average in a poor team. He was £53m and just because he isn’t shite like usual it doesn’t mean he played well. He cost us the game.

Stop with this rubbish , he was playing ok until he made a mistake, tackling back and defending well. Your opinion vs mine ? well i am right, am i not ?

He was playing okay, i agree with that. You said he was playing well. Not one of them was playing well. He was doing okay until he cost us the game.

Well it wasn't exactly the best game . Tin tin , every pass was bad. Gündo caught in possession many time and fluked a few of them. Doku couldn't get past the right back. Foden went missing, Walker, well......

I suppose , like old Whiskey nose , Pep will turn to his academy players and rule the world again .

Probably gone in to check his face after throwing himself on the ground and finding a new way to embarrass himself on top of his performances this season. Every time ball comes to him it’s stop the ball and then pass, no moving it quickly to player in space, let the opposition get into position then roll it with no pace. Opposition players posting taking the piss out him, with VAR how does he think it was going to be a sending off. If were that short of numbers and options that he has to play that’s one thing but having your Captain take a disgraceful dive like that today shouldn’t be tolerated , strip of the armband and pray some fools will take his contract over to get him off the wage bill.

Some seem to think this is just a blip and Pep will turn it around but he's still playing Gundogan and Walker, still asking players to play with a high line even though we've no pace to defend against counters, still wanting players to retain possession at all costs even when risky balls are the difference between goals and not even having a chance. Pep has not been proactive at trying to change either the tactics or the personnel so the only option left is to change him.


Gundo coming back hasn't worked but if he hadn’t been available in on a free I think we would have been even less numbers as likely we wouldn’t have signed anyone else. Before we write him off completely I would like to see him play a few games further forward where he was most effective for us before and being a goal threat, let’s face it we have fuck all threat there today. I think 5 years ago playing this role Gundo struggled to have the physicality required for it and he’s been sacrificed when have nobody else to do the job, would Bernardo or KDB look any better in that role ? Hopefully Kovacic and Stones coming back from injury can see some other options for that role.

Sadly , i think Stones is finished. Gone missing most of this season and many recent seasons. Kovacic would be better in deep midfield than Gündo. However i don't think , seeing him after his years sabbatical at Barca, Gündo is up for it. He seems past it.
