Some shit questions that Pep had to field. Always the same.

“Did you expect it to be so difficult?”

What’s he gonna say? “Nah thought it would be piss easy to be honest”

And then they cut him off and just go to their shitty fat manager. Amazing.

Unfair on Nico. I hope to god he can play on Tuesday. I’d be tempted to play Dias and Khusanov at CB on Tuesday for Khusa’s pace but I suppose Stones will get the nod. Who will play RB? Nunes Rico or Akanji?

If we want pace at fullback then Khusanov needs to be RB

Worth saying also that Orient were a bunch of dirty cunts and the Referee did fuck all about it.

Same fat cunt that made a silly comment about Ang when they’ve got two Spurs players on loan.

Grealish just needs to go this summer. Thanks for the treble season mate, I loved you, but this is embarrassing now.

I thought Grealish was by far our best player today, he should be starting on Tuesday.

Based on everything we have witnessed so far this season he doesn’t deserve to stay next season - he’s going the same way as Mourinho - down hill with his old ideas.

We are an embarrassment to watch and it’s his fucking fault we are - it’s not getting any better.

I’m not sure I want him to go just yet, but this season is turning into a disaster with no effort from our players. Im sure we’ll all sit down and take a view at the end of the season, but he not covering himself in glory at the moment

Marvellous Nico pass to Savinho in the build up to the Gundo chance. How the fuck did he miss. Marmoush missed a really good chance too.

I want to blame the players, but I can't. Not when we are so one sided and so predictable. I am not ok to fuck players off to fuel a system that is falling apart. We want Wirtz and Musiala to what? Pass is from side to side to each other?
At the moment, based on what I've seen since October, the players are not the problem, but Pep and his arrogance and limitations as a manager.

Jack drove at their defence successfully several times, he was positive and played a beautiful ball to Kev, he’s class and is being frozen out by Pep for whatever reason. When you have Nunes (out of position) playing and and Grealish not playing (out of position) then you know something is seriously wrong. Jack is a top class footballer but is obviously a bit of a lad to say the least, that is why he’s not being picked.

Contrast today's bbc commentary with the same for the scousers tomorrow. Let's see if they reel off the same bullshit bingo about starting line up cost, most expensive ever plymouth player ever etc. Followed by trying to cry the goals in for the green army. I won't hold my breath the absolute cunts

Pep didnt have any information on Nico’s injury. Wasn’t sure how bad the kick was. He made the point that late on they threw a lot of tall players into the box which was expected and that Rico and Bernardo are not the tallest. He obviously rates the competition. Made that clear repeatedly. Praised Stones performance. He and Ruben will surely start against Real. He said he was always going to replace Ruben after 45 and didn’t want the two young CBs playing together given the state of the match.
