Pep cost us win!

What was he trying to prove? i kept asking my self after the final whistle.
We had madrid where we wanted them, they were playing long-balls just like we had predicted. Then along comes maxwell for adraino who has been playing well all night keeping ronaldo at bay for a larger part of the match.
I have seen this before versus arsenal the moment maxwell stepped unto the pitch arsenal realized that they are a big team and started pressing for an equalizer and they got a win. All i am saying is that Pep Guardiola should not try to justify his transfers in big games because its really affecting the team and we are beginning to lose face defensively. Please you need to stop using maxwell, he is old and he is not the current world best player so why bring him on when we have better signings.
Another point worth noting from that game is that we actually lack cutting edge. We only managed to take a handful of shots (two from messi, one from villa, one from affelay and one from xavi) in a game we could easily have won 3-0 owing to the fact they were a man down from the crucial stages of the game. We needed someone like thiago alcantara who can retain possession, and shoot when given the chance.
Thirdly, you'll be dissapointed at the amount of fouls we drew from madrid, that we were actually drawing the fouls that were coming, i know that jose mourinho wanted to stop how play and come to think of it who wouldnt? Ask wenger what he told wilshere during barca vs arsenal at the camp nou. Barca players cannot just keep drawing fouls to themselvesbecause you don't win games by foul against or foul for.
And lastly, this fake/false nine thing isnt working now we need a real nine a box to box nine would just be ideal.
