Haaland needs to sit on the bench. He's a pathetic cunt

Disappointing result. Really poor finishing. Arsenal will walk it now, we are miles off it.

Frankly just not good enough. Outperformed again by mediocre and elderly players in some cases.
Some big names on big money should be ashamed .
We couldnt punch our way out of a wet paper bag.
Finishing prowess is an utter disgrace but Pep no doubt will utter some bullshit to explain his failures

Saw Egypt vs Benin a few days ago. Those who sanctioned 80 million for Marmoush should be arrested.

Well there you go, where was the effort we showed in the last 10 minutes for the previous 80 ? We are not winning the title, or anything for that matter this season. We are simply not good enough. The only bright spark tonight was Max Allen and Khusanov, both assured and solid. It’s our forward play which is lacking, Foden is back on his downer, just no spark at all. Hey ho, the hope was good while it lasted. Cue the dippers to roll over for Arsenal. Sigh !!

Let's hear the excuses for the best manager in the history. Same old shit, we have no direction. We'll finish top 4 and potless.

Not going to be a hypocrite, I thought we would struggle for Top 4 this Season with Pep and his stubbornness to change.

10 points gap to 5th place, so we should at least finish Top 4.

Reality is we were flattering to deceive, our level is where we are at. Not good enough to win a League.

We are not even good to watch if i am being honest. Going to be hard here on in filling the Stadium playing Coma inducing insipid shit and no League challenge.

Three positives
Khusanov and Alleyne played very well. And considering their ages and who their full backs were as well.
Rodri looks to have shaken off the niggles after his first return from injury

But these were far outweighed by the negatives

We have to go all in in the League Cup. It’s our only chance of a trophy

These games are so easy to predict. We toil around and manage to somehow score and then miss a bunch of chances, the opposition knows they’ll get at least 1 great chance that they’ll score.

We’re shit and predictable.

WTF has happened to Haaland? He hides and moves away from the danger zones he should be attacking

Be like this until Pep leaves

we need to start over completely in the summer. dump bernardo, ake and stones like hot potatoes. sell nunes and foden if theres anyone dumb enough to buy them. consider cashing in on haaland and/or Rodri while values still high.

My thoughts on how the game would go were played out to the letter on the pitch. Are we capable of doing something different in a game like winning some 50/50’s, playing at pace, pressing like we used to for 90 mins, scoring a fucking goal or being calm and playing good passes, it’s gone to shit. If Pep wins a trophy this year I’ll eat my hat.

The fault lies with those kicking the ball at the goal.

Not sure what is going on with Haaland.

Literally hiding in Plain site. I agree he doesn't even attack the right areas the lazy fucker. If the Ball isn't to him he literally never moves towards the Ball.

Really irritating me..Sure players lose form now and again. Haaland though is just not trying and we can all see it.

It should be like playing with 12 with Haaland instead it is more often than not like playing with 10.

We've known Semenyo is coming here since 23rd December and we've fucked about with payment structures when we've needed him here now!! It's a total joke the way the club is ran these days. Last January just pissed money away and the only decent signing is Khus.
