Re the above post - what was the aim of playing the slow old players? Wasn't bedding in new signings, wasn't giving minutes to those who needed it, wasnt playing our best players..

Please get rid of gundog

Cherki should have started

Pep and his staff were worried about the effects of going far in this tournament. Hence the team selections.

He started one match. Doesn't make sense what you're saying as Doku and Savio were ran into the ground

Well they now have loads of time off before pre season training resumes - if baldy mentions fatigue one more time this year then he needs to be spoken to.

It makes sense in the context of going further in the tournament, which we all expected. Maybe he wanted to keep certain players fresh for the latter stages?. And Savio and Doku rested, but look its hearsay now.

Saving players for later games in a cup competition never works. You always play your best team. Otherwise fuck ups like Tuesday morning happen. And have happened increasingly just lately.

And with every new fuck up Pep loses a bit more credit
