We won’t qualify for the CL when the points deduction comes. I don’t know why but I can feel it in my bones.

İlkay Gündoğan and Peps love affair have caused the downfall. If he never came back from Barc things would have to change.

Its a huge point and a very valid one - he persisted in playing both him and Walker and between them they cost us over 12 points ( minimum) when he could and should have benched them both.

Some pep apologists on here will say that he had no choice...utter utter laughable excuse.

Once we started to lose games the players lost confidence and it showed, every single time we went ahead we lost our composure at the back..game after game,,,,namely Gundo losing possession or out of position , same with walker.

Absolute madness.

I’m more interested in what we will do to the Premier league when we are found innocent - start an independent enquiry on the scum and the other scum club for starters - they are the ringleaders of this attack on our club .

I want vengeance

But every game isn't the same, not at all. Or have you forgotten marmoush's hat trick the other week?

We have been spoon fed great football and success for a long time. I think everybody has been surprised at the poor performances this season.

The failure to get goals highlights just how poor some of the defending has been in the past few seasons.

Never mind Foden or Bernies poor form all season. All of our defenders have screwed up time after time. Only khuso is doing his job at the moment.

I truly think you're on drugs. At what point will you blame the manager? Let's chuck another 500m on players and hope it sticks. Pep cant set up defence, constantly tinkering with his back 4, playing them out of their natural position. Instead of buying a right and left back, we're packed centre backs playing out of their natural positions. He refused to buy a back up to Roderi, there was no plan B. It's been panick buy after another. I truly believe he's obsessed with trying to look genuis instead of keeping it simple. Football has moved on, stop referring to the past, that's no guarantee it will work this time just like you silly predictions this season.
