Exactly we are a fucking team every defeat isn’t on pep some players didn’t turn up and Chelsea where excellent. It happens we haven’t got a divine right to win everything. And besides could be worse your dad could be a Chelsea fan like mine ffs!
 
Pep got it wrong again and he will never win us a champions league but tbh I’m not really that bothered about that but what fucking really annoys me is how has sterling who has been shit all season managed to get into the pitch and actually be the captain in arguably our most important game ever. As soon as ferdy came on and strengthened the midfield we looked better but by that point the game had gone . Rudiger should be banned for what he did aswell .

Give it a bloody rest ffs tonight is not the night for this crap.

KDB along with every other player tonight just weren't at it including our coaching staff. We will build from this. We are spoiled to have a player like De Bruyne at our club.
 
Man people giving the whole 'Chelsea were great' routine

Chelsea are fucking dog shite

Hoof and chase merchants. Fast but ultimately shit players up top. A midget DM who covers every blade of grass, and a packed back line. They're a boring, unimaginative team who barely troubled us the minute Dinho came on

This is though a game of margins. We play our best side, which includes Dinho at DM, Gundogan no where near DM, Foden on the left wing, and we win this. There is no surer thought in my head

I loved them then and I love them now.
Sterling is shit, pep out, why this, why that.
Ha ha you haven't a fucking clue.

This might be the stupidest post of the night and that takes some doing.
 
We never had a better time to win it. We had every player available, so what does Pep do? He plays a system we've not played all season. Compare that to Tuchel. Started exactly as you'd expect, and you could predict every substitution he made. And yet he still won.

Even Pep's substitutions were bizarre. When De Bruyne goes off, you look to Bernardo to take responsibility, but instead he takes him off. And the last 7 minutes of the game is just us lumping it into the box because we've taken off the players who can play those intricate passes.

Chelsea were brilliant all the way through. Won it because of their defence and workrate. If we played as well as we can, we'd beat them. We didn't, so we didn't.

Over a 38 game season he's got basically not matches that deal with this kind of pressure

That's ultimately the difference I think. The pressure gets to him, and as such rational thought just goes straight out the window every time

It's not like it's a one off, is it.

I forgot to say in my earlier post. I’m so proud of our team. Ok we lost but those lads played their hearts out. We should be proud of them. We got there, we got to the flaming final of the Champions League. We are Champions of England.
Be proud City fans. Be proud of our lads please.

I am. I am desperately disappointed for them. The disappointing thing is that they know they can perform so much better. Our top guys had pretty ordinary games and they will be disappointed by that, too. But we go again next year.

When was the last time neither Dinho or Rodri didn't start a match that mattered? The balance they offer as a holding MF is what makes their attack so good. They didn't have that today because for some reason Pep treated it like a training exercise. Maybe he was trying a different setup in the CL final to prep for the Community Shield?

Someone who gets it. No need to pretend like we played Bayern Munich or 2012 Barca, we played a below average Chelsea with a manager who has been here for barely 5 months.
