But I think when you try to make up the 11 you might struggle.

Whether you think it's no excuse, there is a serious injury crisis and that doesn't just affect us by absence, it affects us by the fit players being an into the ground.

Our best players available are knackered. Kdb has started the last 3 games (in one week) after being out for so long.

There's no way we're going to get the best kev on Sunday if he starts again and he could well pick up another injury in the process.

Picking the starting 11 right now is extremely difficult when all factors are taken into account

Our midfield has been non existent and our RB position has been disgusting for weeks now - I just cannot believe PeP has no other options available to him instead of just watching the same shit game after game.
Those players he has on the bench are on the bench because they can play...so why not play them from the off and stick Gundo and that cunt Walker on the bench instead.'

Micah Richards at FB on Sunday honestly probably would not be worse than some of the shite Walker has served up this season. There must be an academy boy who plays FB. Give him a fucking go

Fuck me, hope this are mind games, if not, we are really fucked.


Ultimately it’ll lead to his demise then if he’s too arrogant to think we need to freshen things up.

Also said about.a Rodri replacement, “When I have Kova and Gundo I don’t need a replacement in that position.”


Capello calling Pep arrogant is a bit rich but for Pep to think all in the garden will be rosy once he gets his current squad fit is typical of his attitude. His choice of playing, his choice of squad, fuck everyone else i'm right. The man does not bend or adapt to change and that is a major weakness. Ever increasing bumbers of teams have found a way to stifle our play and cause us problems and we have learnt nothing. This demise is our performance has been coming for months. A couple of injuries have made vents dramatic

I will always be grateful to Pep for the success he has brought to the club, but i am also grateful to Mancini and Pellegrini. Pep reinforced possession football, if we have the ball the opposition can't score right, but its like watching 80 mins of keepy uppy and 10 mins of action. Its like watching paint dry. I much prefer a faster game and a quicker transition from defence to attack. I'd also forego possession to increase the number of attempts we have on goal.
Haaland gets a high number of goals but he'd get a shed load more if we played to his true strengths. Standing in the box with his thumb up his arse waiting for a cross or a clever short ball is not the answer. Just think what we could have had this season if we had quicker tempo and Haaland was teamed up with Alvarez or Palmer? Maybe i long for the football of my youth who knows. Pep gets paid big bucks to get results. He ain't getting results he needs to change or be changed

You know I'm usually with Carl as one of the first with the pitchforks when it comes to managers - in this case while I have serious concerns about how he's got us into this predicament AND concerns about whether he's capable of getting us out of it, for me he's earned the right to a shit season.

Beyond this season, I'll be at the front of the queue with the pitchforks - but I can't see it coming to that - plus, I haven't got a fucking clue who we would hire instead.

In response to your comments about being boring, I honestly think with a few exceptions, we've been fucking awful to watch now for a couple of years and this 'blip' has been coming to us for a long time.

Not sure where you're getting this couple of years from. Treble season we scored 4 past Liverpool, 4 past Arsenal, 6 past united, smashed Real Madrid and Bayern Munich..Last season the 3-3 in Madrid was one of the best games ever. It's been dire this season for sure.

Top scorers with 94 in the treble season, top scorers with 96 last season. I think my definition of few is different than yours.

I already said I wouldn’t give him any money in January as it’s the worst month to buy anyone of note and any available will be well over priced - we might say who cares how much they are but when we see how much has spunked on pure garbage I’d refuse to give him any (maybe they have told him not until the summer , not to piss him off but rather waiting to see how much , if any , any financial penalty we may get over the charges )

In fairness , he has the fucking players to keep us in the top 4.
Sick and tired of hearing it’s the injuries that are to blame for our shit performances when the main reason is the manager putting out shite starting 11’s.

The negative stuff off Pep makes me think we could get a team out of the Parkside that would give the rags a game at least they would try

You'll have to find a new right back.

And you'd risk kdb in his 4th start in 10 days? Risky but understandable.

3 at the back? Has that ever worked for us before?

It really is a conundrum.

Chris Wood wasn’t good enough for Newcastle, but is outscoring all their players.

Silly to say a player isn’t good enough for a team.

Might sound silly mase but you would tend to lean towards the idea that a large number of players we let go was huge mistake, would you not?

I mean, delap is in good form having done the square root of fuckall before. As a club, we're in bad form, having had a decade of dominance.

Yet you'd take delap's form as class?

Tbh the only one I feel was a mistake was cole and I NEVER saw that coming. Most didn't either.

One in 10 years is absolutely unbelievable.

Now, what i will say is that pep should have been using mcatee (and one or two others) for minutes here and there so he could relieve the senior players and he didn't do that. That's on him alone.

But where we are now has more to do with that and our activity in the transfer window than the ones you keep saying we should never have let go.

Just my opinion
