Love that ”might” in the title.
They ”might” be murderers.

Yesterday we just kept slowing the game down. Foden tore Robertson a new one season before last. Robertson is just back from injury so why the fuck didn't we go for the jugular. Milner struggled to cope with Grealish last season and was lucky to stay on. Foden didn't take him on once in 96 minutes and just kept recycling the ball back into mid. One sub in the 90th minute is inexcusable.
You make some good points there branny. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why Grealish didn’t start especially with Milner at RB. This was a game made for Jack where he could have created havoc in his position and possibly got a penalty from Milner. Foden did not once attempt to take on Milner and even at 1 nil down, it did not occur to Pep to bring on Jack or Mahrez or Alvarez with 15 minutes left to play !!!
What are the 5 subs for ? What happened to the fresh legs theory ?
For me the big blame goes to Pep on this one as he has done with other big games in the past.

It seems to be the case in so many 'Big Games' he does it in - it pissed me off no end in the past but now I just fucking accept it -I knew we would struggle against them when I saw the line up and I knew he wouldn't change anything (Sub wise ) until the 85th minute to 90th.
How can he not arrange his tactics to attack that cretin Milner ? absolute fuckign head scratcher !!

I was actually very happy with the lineup and didn't think we'd struggle at all.
As the game went on though I thought we were really playing within ourselves to a point where i thought the gameplay was to tire and frustrate them first half and go at them second half.
And while the second half opened up, the passing and more importantly the tempo was off.
I completely agree about the subs. Ffs shake it up with grealish and alvarez and give them a half hour
"Alvarez haters must be squirming"

I think everyone was happy with the line up- you've just got to go back to the beginning of this thread.
Spot on with the subs, Grealish should definitely have come on.
I don't understand Foden, twice now with Ashley Young and Milner he should have terrorised them yet wouldn't take them on.
However if the goal stands like it should have it would have been a great day.

If the dippers beat Forest in the Saturday early kick off, the motherless fucks will only be 4 points behind us, Just shows what a bit of targeted officiating by pigmol can do

Agree, lineup was fine. It was lack of subs that hurt us.

silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So he’s not been banned?! A red usually gets at least a match touchline ban

Nope, no ban
Just another one of those 'I have seen them given', 'Liverpool got away with one there', 'tight decision but I think they got it right'.............
Henderson of the hook as well, 'lucky boy there but these thing even themselves out over a season'...........

Dipper police have closed the case of coin throwing at Pep as they found no evidence of anyone throwing the coins .
Once a thieving lying dipper , always a thieving lying dipper .
No matter what job they have .
