Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I’d have been much more disappointed if we hadn’t won the league.

The Champions League is a farce won, once again, by a team that wasn’t a champion of anything.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Fuck off Pep.

Why don’t you fuck off. Pep has done wonders for this club. Shit happens, man up and deal with it. We’ll be back stronger next year

 

[Gordyola]

This”fucking manager” I’m absolutely baffled I not blaming it on Sterling but when he plays we are mainly shite time to cash in he’s been poor for 18 months even when he was scoring his overall play was poor

Huge disapointment. One of the most frustrating City games Ive ever seen.
What a game to piss about with the starting lineup, everytime we do that we always finish the match with a team that resembles the one we should have started with, scrambling for a goal. Players out of their usual positions, all over the place to confuse the opposition, when the only people who seemed confused was our own players.
To create absolutely no chances all match is crazy.

 

[RayCTID]

How? Not even in European champions

Kane no one wanted to die to score

Liverpool had won won it when they never won their own domestic league

Think this is the big thing. Some credit has to go to the opponents but it was the manner of defeat. Just so limp and ultimately lacking in real belief. Can't pin all that on the lineup imo, it wasn't exactly a total overhaul although it's easy with hindsight just to say in a high pressure situation don't add to that by changing what is comfortably your most settled side.
Any loss is disappointing but failing to do themselves justice will eat at the players for a while. What a letdown.

That is the truth.

Pep seemed nervous and edgy when interviewed prior to the match, and this seemed to carry through to the players.

 

[qshot989]

We ain't ever winning this.

Im inclined to agree to be honest.

It's no excuse for what he did today. So idiotic.

I agree we win the league because you can get away with a few fuck ups here and there but to not have an answer to Chelsea is a joke.

 

[daztrueblue91]

At least this puts to bed all of the shite about not signing a striker.

Anyone not wanting us to sign Harry Kane after this performance is a fucking idiot.

 

[Jazzman]

We will just have to go again next season, thats football

 

[nellyonthewing]

Zinchenko not being in the right position gave them their goal. Not that it matters now.

Looked like a carbon copy of chelsea's goal against us where Mendy left acres to run into.

 

[Mezrah]

Personally I had denied That silver medal if I were one of the players..

 

[zebbemacahan]

Disgusted, feel like shit. I blame it all on Pep. Really thought we’d win until I saw the teamsheet. Devastated

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Let's not blame officials. We were simply not at it tonight. Better team won let's take it on the chin and go again.

Agreed. Official called it very tight but they were winning the ball without fouling us. Give them credit. They played better than we did, simple as.

 

[55yr old teenager]

Love pep, but why the fuck didnt he just play the team that beat Dortmund and PSG!!! If he had just kept that team/formation we win today imho

 

[Badensbluemoon]

Rutdiger tho...what an animal

 

[Keeper!]

sorry but I think you are way off and overreacting.....

LOL your a dick, this is a once in a lifetime game, big boys game, fuckimg win at all costs

 

[bluemoon32]

What's the point? Seriously Pep would screw that up if we got to a final again.

He'd drop 30 goals Kane and play Walker in his place

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Although I see the anger aimed at pep for the DM call in reality there weren’t any stand out performances from any of the players. Cup finals are one offs and we have had a great season. Hope the players build on this and pep learns too

 

[chesterbells]

Time up for Sterling and Jesus, got to go

Maybe, but ffs we need a decent left back

 

[Hung]

Never in it. The system didn’t work, so Pep yet again fails at the big moment. Not sure where we go from here. We won the league at a canter, but I doubt that we would have done if Liverpool hadn’t been injury ravaged. The Title win now means little I’m afraid.
