Pep has managed Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Not sure he's ever had to prove he can improve cheap players!

Someone with substance over style who can adapt his style to the players rather than the other way around.

I think in terms of actual date Derby were relegated earlier but if we go down tomorrow it’ll be the earliest in terms of matches played. They were in ‘match week 32’ when they went down I believe and we’re in 31.

Classic bit of Kelvin Davis goalkeeping for their second goal!

Ah not just mine then. Every channel has gone down. Anyone got a link for another stream?

Think the word team should also be in inverted commas too.

Was it ever confirmed whether there was a 6 month break clause in his contract? It was reported there was for ages, then I think Alfie House said that wasn’t true after he signed? As others have said, it’s very hard to judge Juric with this squad but either way I don’t think he’s the answer next season. Hope we can get rid of him without it costing us anything.

We haven’t done that once this season so I somehow delighted. I’m all for being optimistic but we are so shit that to suggest we would’ve got anything from that is deluded. No offence!

Do you honestly think we would’ve held on to that lead if the pen wasn’t given? Newcastle passed through us with ease and clearly took their foot of the gas second half. They also hit the post twice. There was absolutely no scenario where we were not losing that.

No. As for this game, it’ll be another chance for us to see how far off our players are in terms of pace, power and athleticism. Unfortunately Juric’s system is set up to play 1v1 across the pitch and our players are inferior in nearly every position. 0-1

Does anyone actually think there’s any point in us spending any money this window? Last relegation season the January window was a shitshow and we’re still paying for it now. Trim the squad, save the money for the summer and give us a chance to compete within PSR if we do come back up by keeping our outgoings down.

I think I read that Jurić’s teams usually put in a high number of crosses? If he’s going to do the same here we might need a left footer at LWB.

Any idea what his in-game management is like? Would be great to have someone who can react to the game rather than just making pre-planned subs. As far as a song goes, surely we repurpose the Tadic song?

Really?! If that is the case that is ridiculous.

I’m assuming it’s the day after the game, which is usually Sunday rather than Monday.
