maybe the game was to high pressure for the city players because of not being in the final before
the pain of losing must be the perfect tonic to go again next season

i will say the lack of strikers has done for city tonight and KANE & HAALAND must be signed next week andf get rid of the deadwood

I don’t think it was the lack of strikers tonight, we created nothing.
 
Can a stats merchant confirm that we played all other 55 games or whatever this season with either Rodri or Ferna as a defensive midfielder in the starting eleven.

except tonight

Awful just fucking awful.

Fair play to the chavs they have our number. Pep and the players need to learn from this shitshow. Kev was completely nullified, Foden should have been lm. We had no midfield to put any kind of stamp on the game. Pep has a lot of credit in the bank but he did fuck up tonight. The players decision making was awful. They could not string 2 passes together.

Chelsea pressed high on the wingers and counter with no midfield to stop them.

Collectively naive. The true swashbuckling city did not show up.

Anyway, onto next season.

Correct. Guardiola could not have picked a more wrong team tonight. I’m sick to the back teeth of him trying to be clever. We had a shit prep for this final. He played sterling in those last few games and didnt see how poor he’s become. This is not the time to be sentimental and give a player a chance because he played well earlier in the season. Guardiola has gone down in my estimation. Fucking awful team he chose.
 
Don't know how long it will take to get over this.. Never been at this stage before

Shouldn't lose sight of that... But the way we lost... Inexcusable
 
We are going to struggle against Chelsea, Utd & Liverpool next season with this team.

3 top players needed to take us on. We can’t afford a sloppy transfer window this summer.
 
Fantastic to have made the final for the 1st time ever in what has been a superb, premier league-winning season.

Nevertheless, quite honestly we were poor from start to finish and front to back tonight. Chelsea were faster, smarter and played to their strengths. They deserved to win.

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.

sorry big games, big players, he was invisible, games tonight are why he gets 350k week for
 
Kante really is a difference maker for them. He got injured and they started dropping points all over the place. He’s some player. They fully deserved their win, you have to tip your cap and come back next season

This was what many feared. Pep over-thinking a crucial match & fucking things up before a ball was kicked. It doesn't get more disrespectful than the team we named.

All that was needed was Sterling on the bench, & either Fernandinho or Rodri on the pitch & this match would have been so much different.

And before anyone says I'm trying to tell Pep how to manage, go fuck yourselves! I've said all along if we play the false 9, with the team & tactics which got us to the final, the pressure would be on Chelsea. The moment we started without either of our recognised CDM's, we were fucked.

Why does Guardiola do this? An hour before the match, my heart sank, & rather than pumping & me being nervous as I normally am, I just fuckin knew we'd shoot ourselves in the foot.

We play Everton at home with a CDM. We play Chelsea in the CL Final, & leave the two of them fit, in form & on the bench. Angry doesn't sum up how I feel right now!
