Ref is fucking atrocious.

How can none of them put the ball in the fucking net?

When it comes to the definitive action, he is becoming Mr. Almost But Never Quite There. It's that chronic hestitation, that persistent one touch too many, that squanders the opportunity.

Playing terribly but also an example of bad management from the coach. Balde should be a pass and run player. Quick one-two's, sharp runs off the ball, overlaps, low crosses. Rinse and repeat. But it's up to the manager to understand that and to set it up so he can play like that. If not you...

This was the level before Frenkie returned.

Gundogan, Pedri and Cancelo haven't elevated the level noticably.

Big drop in form for Christensen. Getting bullied today and against Girona

Balde does something stupid everytime he has it. Ferran loses the ball every time. Fermin looks poised to get a red.

He's only a valuable player under a narrow set of circumstances, i.e. when we're already in control, when the game is not too intense, and when the opponent defense is not too tight. If we're not in control, then he won't do much to turn the game in our favor. If the game is intense he will...

Allowing their second goal is the crucial mistake. Not caused by an individual error but by fundamentally misguided defensive principles across the board. The way our players are just running at the ballholder whithout a care in the world, abandoning the structure to the point where a left...

How does Araujo get bullied so easily there?

It's so telling how much more Gundogan gets in dangerous situations than Pedri, even though the latter plays more advanced. Simply doesn't have the temperament.

Fermin on for Pedri please. Need some aggression.

Lots of good stuff today just wish he had better end product.

Think we might choke this. Looking nervy now.

Shouldn't Gimenez have been sent off for that flying knee? Disgusting challenge

Best game of the season so far.

What an utterly unwatchable video.

Start him at LB and figure out the rest from there. Simply can't let this sort of offensive value go to waste.

The difference with him on the field is enormous. Binding things together, patching up holes, sustaining the flow, keeping the balance.
