Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

I'm not 'chuffed'. But anyone slagging Pep or the team, or refusing to see how well Chelsea played then ... .
Most people knew we were fucked when the lineup was announced. Chelsea looked good cos they played their usual system that they’re familiar with and their players looked like they wanted to win unlike ours
 
Sorry to say Sterling no worse than anyone else. Defence all over the show, Stones being the main one.
he had his two defensive wobbles early on and that is when the alarm bells started ringing! They weren’t heeded and the game should’ve been over by half-time.
our defence is still not right and if it is exposed, like when you have no protection in front, it collapses like a house of cards.
Stones and Walker have their wobbles. Diaz is not quick and gets exposed by the high line. Zinny is an honest player, but not a LB. How much have we spent on that defence!?
 
Apart from zinchenko totally letting his man free to score. You honestly think we’ll never reach the final again? Really? Come on mate
Look how long its taken us to reach this one to throw it away with stupid decisions. We will always reach the knockouts but the final wont come for a while again if it does in my opinion.
 
Some shameful shit that.

We play with a holding midfielder in literally every fucking game of the season, but tonight, let's fuck that off and play as open as possible?

Let's be solid as fuck defensively all season then just fuck that off in a CL final?

Pep is an absolute God but he is such a twat at times.

I cannot describe how angry and disappointed I am.
Spot on.
No idea why he starts Sterling either.
Not good enough to get in the premier league starting 11 at the end of the season in meaningless games, but then starts him in the champions league final.
Appalling from Pep.
He may well be our greatest ever manager and right up there as one of the best managers of all time, but he isn’t exempt from criticism and deserves all the criticism he gets tonight.
To start without a defensive midfielder, the way we play.
Dreadful, appalling, shocking...
 
I just turned the football off at the final whistle and resolved to watch something funny on TV instead. I gave in after about an hour and I looked here, the first thing I read I quote and it says it all really.

Gutted? Absolutely, but remember where we have come from.

One sad thing though: before the game started the commentator said something like oooooh Southgate must be happy watching these English players tonight. Really, apart from Walker, who else who qualifies for England on either side stood out tonight?
Mount, James and Chilwell all stood out
 
Who picks a team based on a ref? It's nonsensical. The refs are always bent in Uefa so why change tactics now.
If you know you can't tackle then you change the way you play to nullify that and put put a team to keep possessions as its the lowest risk option.
 
To be honest this was for the owners and the manager. As a fan I would be fine if we never won the CL provided we won the PL and the rest every other season...might sound like sour grapes but it’s just how I feel about this comp.
 
Lineup an hour before kick off lost us the game. Not that it matters now.

the chelsea goal was on the card from kick off. the team was not right and sterling was the wrong choice and missing most the Q/F and semi final but plays in the final. pep will be the only one that knows why

its done and dusted the game has gone and nothing can be done or changed now
 
I’ve been a Blue for 49 years, and like my fellow supporters I’ve seen some crap in that time, but tonight’s result was known at 7.01pm.
Pep if you are going to throw a game can we do it in the 1st game/3rd round/group stages etc, stop taking the piss out of the fans with such joke team selections.
Get it right or leave, and take Sterling with you.
I’m not gutted, I’m fuming.
Seriously grow up. Support somebody else.
 
To be fair, being a fan of this amazing Club and living through all the difficult moments - taught me, that we always loose in such an important games.. Well.. not always but we tend to loose such kind of games..

I remember game against Tottenham in 2010 when we lost a chance to qualify for the CL -> but look where the fuck are we now and where is that shit of a club, with their leader dreaming about playing for us..

I remember the game against Liverpool when we lost due to Vinnies error, but look where are we now - winning the PL three times in four years..

I remember the games against United and that goal from Rooney, but look where are we now and where is United..

This difficult moments made me realize why I love this Club and why I will support it no matter what.. Like a Phoenix we always return and we return stronger, braver, cooler and we do our job, we win and show them, those fuckers that the final result and final laugh and final joy is OURS...

COME ON CITY

You have never let me down and you I'm sure that you will return stronger from this failure as well..

FUTURE IS FUCKING OURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it? This was our chance and Pep shot himself and us in the foot.

I guess he has earned that right, but annoying nevertheless.

Do you trust Pep now?
 
All on Pep again, thought more about the opposition than his own team.

Incredibly disrespectful to think he can go into a game like that with no defensive midfielder to speak of.

Chelsea had a game plan to let us play across the width of the pitch but couldn't believe their luck with that midfield press.

I'm not even sad, as we were never in it, thanks to a manager who for some unknown reason, set us up with one arm tied behind our backs.

All just seems like a massive waste of time going this far to perform like that.

The only thing I was upset with was seeing Sergio at the end crying like that.

Players know, they know Pep let them down.

Exactly.

All on Pep.

Should have won 4 cups this season if he didn't tinker with a winning side.
 
A well deserved loss was not what I was looking forward to, the line up worried me for a start. Seriously pissed off that City lost this, extremely pissed off, they are a better team than a good Chelsea, but once again Tuchel does for us,
and fair play to him, he fucking deserves it.
