When the subs were eventually brought on played with desperation having so little time to change the game (no change in tactics though). Mahrez reminds me of a talented schoolboy who always plays for himself to be the hero but ends up being a liability 99% of the time. Players like Rodri who isn't a bad player but not very good at the job he is asked to do. In my opinion Pep isn't getting the best out of some very good players that we have


Bernardo for one looks a shadow of his former self at the minute. Sterling bob this season too so far

Just watched a replay of the match and the way that Walker stopped and became a spectator was disgraceful. It was left to KDB to defend the left wing and he’s not fast enough. With his pace, Walker could’ve easily tracked back and at least tried to prevent the goal. While Pep made a lot of wrong decisions, not starting Foden being the big one, you can’t blame him for such poor decisions from his players.

I thought Walker was still playing for Spurs yesterday

He’s been excellent this season, but yesterday he was at his worst

Walker has been excellent in maybe two games this season, the rest he's been garbage. Constantly in the wrong place, defending from the wrong side, can't cross the ball, misplaced passes. I keep hearing about his immense recovery pace but 9 out of 10 times it is his mistake he's having to recover. Honestly, if he was foreign and not English he'd be getting slated every week.

I check in to this site to keep track a bit of how things are going because it's got to the point with VAR and our boring slow pace build up needing 30 shots to score that I haven't bothered to watch a single kick of the ball by any team this season.
It's become so boringly predictable that I can't be arsed to waste any time to do so. I used to love it to the point you would watch the game live then match of the day on a Saturday and the repeat on a Sunday morning.

We are horribly predictable. Same patterns each game:
- lots of possession, no end product
- opposition scores with their first attack
- Pep doesn’t make subs until late into the game
Etc.

I think dropping Tin Tin and Mahrez for a while will improve us.
