So it’s the second leg and we are 2-0 up after a very good performance to win at St James’ Park a couple of weeks ago. However, the tie is far from over. We are so fragile at the moment. Physically, fitness wise and mentally. Should Newcastle get the first goal we will be very jittery.
This is our best chance and arguably most realistic chance of winning a trophy so regardless of the dippers game on Sunday, we need to go all out to win.
Don’t think we will win the game tonight but we should go through
1-2 Semenyo

Pep should be relieved of his duties immediately- we need a manager managing the team and not some deluded cunt who decided to wear a fucking political cape!
Fucking steaming I am !

Cherki out apparently which is a big blow. Newcastle have a few out aswell.
First goal in the game changes everything. Hope we get it, we will need to.

Guehi can't play tonight either.

I’ve completely lost my fucking appetite for watching the match after the managers press conference.For the life of me, I just cannot understand why he’d embarrass the club’s owners, the fans, and the team instead of focusing on football.
He’s a total cunt.

Totally agree and he knows absolutely nothing about that which he virtue signals. I fucking hate him and want him gone.

It's obvious he cares more about spreading left wing lies than he does about managing a football team, get rid and get a fully wired person in to the job who can tell his arse from his elbow.

Fuck sake, why's he out?! As Stu says, Guehi not eligible for tonight or the final now if we make it. Max in? Can't risk Dias even though he's training apparently.
Doku still injured as well

I think Guehi might be eligible for the final, apparently he wasn't for this because he signed after the 1st leg.
Probably play Ake.

I thought that too but apparently there's "a rule" according to Jack Gaughan that he's not allowed to play. I guess we'll see, but it wouldn't surprise me if they've made something up to stop him

Please keep any vitriol towards pep in the pep thread. Refrain from turning every city related thread into a negative perception of the manager and your views on the need to change him.
That way, people can enjoy the different threads with the topics they are discussing.

Doesn’t feel like we are 2-0 up at all. I get what some of the guys are saying. - like if we go 1-0 down early we might lose all confidence, surely the coaching staff are there to prepare for all contingencies, I hope we score early to see if geordies fold like they did at klanfield last week.

Fair point but you also need to read the room - emotions are high.

Hence why the pep thread is still open
