The game management from about 80 minutes was shocking. Senior players like Silva and Foden kept giving the ball away and invited pressure

I think this is what drove me over the edge - absolute fucking SHITE MANAGEMENT from pep - everyone could see they were struggling , everyone but pep.

He’s currently the weakest link and if he carries on with his shit game management , especially not making changes when he should do , we are in for a top 3 finish at best.

My anger stems from playing Nunes at Right Back . A repeat of earlier experimentation at Left Back where he had Bernardo and Gvardiol out of position, Nunes is the worst of the lot and shows Pep's arrogance at his fullest. It is a reflection of his inability forge a good solid defence which has cost us dear over the past couple of seasons. Pep also prioritises a 'player' rather than a tackler , or great defender . I long for a Vinny, Dave Watson, De Jong, Fernandinho . Pep has created a team that is a soft as shit

Agree in the main about the defence. Surely now his hand has been forced, we will see a run of Khus getting game time so that's a plus for me. No way he shits out from a tackle - man and ball. I've said forever we need full backs but I don't hold out any hope while Pep insists on shoe horning midfielders in there.

I feel we can live with one midfielder being shoehorned as we did with left back (Delph/Zinch) for years, but both leaves us so exposed as they naturally drift out of position.

So Nunes or O'Reilly but not both. And one of them has 8 years more shelf life than the other.
