Been saying all summer. POOR transfer window. Now these happy positivity clappers wanna say’ “oh u couldnt expect a Rodri ACL” no but i could predict that half this squad was OLD and AGING. That Bernardo and Kova are nothing players. They offer NOTHING. 100M on grealish who cant stay fit. Stones whos always injured. Wingers with no final ball or g/a. The squad rebuild had been so so bad. That this squad played 4 seasons of nonstop football and that it was going to catch up with us. That we had no cover for Rodri, no physicality at all in the midfield. And i even made a superchat about this topic in pre season that it was so easy to get past this midfield and defense. But what do i know. Been saying its been poor squad building, that Pep management/coaching (though i blame the players tn more than the manager) has been poor for a LONG TIME. We got away with it last season. Rodri/Foden did a carry job. But now its happening and all clear to see, people wanna bring it up.

We made history with Pep this evening losing 3 in a row.

I think we also had a good first half... but we struggled too much in the finishing phase... at the start of the second half we were hit too easily... and our opponents found a significant double advantage... this factor of individual errors, and poor defensive solidity... is giving us constant problems... I think these are the obvious problems of the last period... furthermore, finally, the players must come forward to defend the colors of our club, trying in every way to produce a noteworthy performance... they must raise their level not only in the finishing phase... but purely in the defensive one... without the defense we can't expect much. Games are won when the defense contains the opponent's attacks in a clean and effective way... at the moment I don't see any of what I just said... I hope for a change of direction as soon as possible from everyone... at this moment we have to stay together and not care about external factors... we have to simply think only of ourselves and to perform at our best on the field.

The fact is he is not that good by himself. He can't help in defense (an integral part of modern games), he can't create. Supplied with the right ball, his finishing is lethal. But 90% of his goals were assisted by KDB. Without KDB, he is fcuked.

I understand the defenders are doing badly these days. BUT FOR ME, main contributor for this bad form is we currently do not have Rodri or same level replacement in the middle, cause everytime we got counter attack, it's always too easy for them to go pass through the middle, our midfield were 100% the troublemaker right now. And the defenders here (at least for me) is the victims of this situation, the midfielder should be the very first layer to covered when counter attack occured, but Kova can't do that, bernardo can't do that, gundo can't do, no one is no where near Rodri's level in terms of connecting defense and attack. Of course, players like Pusey playing bad on this game or Lewis just got outpaced constantly too as defenders, but this is sign that Pep still can't figured out how to cope with Rodri's absence, you know what, I want them to play counter attack scheme fr fr, do what we can possibly do now. I want them to do more reactive football, it's okay not to control the ball everytime, but use more direct football, we can't keep sacrificing our defenders like this, Pep just being so evil to keep demanding them to do very risky high defensive line, and when they got counter attack everyone of the defenders were not ready to chase back, honestly I would be feel bad as defenders playing that way and constantly blamed for our risky tactic.
