Perhaps this is Pepe's problem?

You can blame rotation for that. Thankfully, we haven't adopted that ridiculous policy under Roy and Kenny.

Fair play to him for atleast diving and making an attempt to save it.

I know what I would be doing in case of a female streaker.

I don't care about Pepe, but I tell you what, Lucas is a massively shit as a central defender, Aquilani can't tackle for shit, Fucking Kuyt is a useless fullback,  And Raul Meireles needs to improve as a winger, and Gerrard is absolutely shite playing the Alonso role.  He was so much better when he was playing the other role...the ummmmm Gerrard role (I think)...These lads need to fuck off out of our squad immediately otherwise we'll never get out of the relegation spots/  And don't get me started on Kenny as a manger..First off he should be doing stand up comedy..and be nowhere near a football pitch..Talent gone to waste

First video of the pre-season game, you can see the young kid on the bench gutted, even the keeper gets into midfield before him.

You honestly believed a female streaker could run onto the Nou Camp pitch and smash in a screamer past Pepe(who bothered to dive) from 25 yards barefooted, when there are so many viral ads knocking around online these days?

He's laughing before that... And I think he played anyway as we had too few players in that game. Someone picked up a knock towards the end (I think it might have been Little Luis) and God had to run back into the dressing room to get a new shirt. He had already been taken off and had to come back on again. Huge smile on his face as well... ;)

He plays too deep. You can see that he has the ability to play both short and long range passes with great accuracy. But for it to have a bigger impact on our game, we need him to play 20 m higher up the pitch. So when he plays this deep, the whole team is drawn back. For a CM, he should play higher up. Now it's more like he's a goalie and I think that's a good indication of how defensive we've become.
