Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea Champs League Final (29/05/21)

For all those slagging Zin off for the goal, where the fuck were the centre halves.

Confirmation why I rarely dig into the match day thread!

Going to believe in the lads till the very end but they aren’t playing how they have from the quarter-finals. You could feel they wanted it. For some reason, I can’t feel the fire tonight.

Nonetheless, the right changes or shifts made by Pep could help change this.

Sterling is never a fire this season and he’s playing

It really is amazing isn’t. Pep says it right. If you win your a genius if you lose you are nothing, fucking hell Chelsea are a top top side who play deep and like to counter. We play high and like to be in the front foot. Their style is made for us It’s that simple we are unlucky to come against them as anyone else I would fancy us hugely

No need for him to be a genius

Just pick your fucking best lineup that everybody knows works, instead of dropping overthought bombs in a fucking CL final

It's not hard. He's making it hard, for himself

this thread will be fun to read when we're winning 4-1

Hope your right mate but somehow I don’t think so

Pep won a Champions League final with Yaya Touré at CB.

He also had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o on the pitch

Shocking by zinc on the goal

What was he supposed to do ? This set up was to control the game and stop giving the ball away. Never seen us give the ball away, so much.

We're City, and we've never done it the easy way. Hope to smash these second half.

Absolutely. They can tire ... a lot . We will be much better 2nd half .

Anyone expecting an early sub is in dreamland, Pep will die on his hill

Just said the same thing Pep won't want to make a sub now and look like he was in the wrong picking that team. if he doesn't we are playing a dangerous game playing Gundogan holding midfield on a yellow.
