Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

As soon as I saw the team I knew what the result would be.

 

[The perfect fumble]

We didn't win tonight because of sterling

Sterling's inclusion was a consequence of a poor team selection, a team selection that was not made by Sterling.

We did not lose this game because of Sterling's performance, we lost because of the team selection, a very poor team selection by Pep.

 

[bluemoon32]

He's a liar

 

[Keeper!]

Not true.

Bollocks would be more appropriate.

 

[kdbrise]

Pep should have played the PSG team and formation. We handled Neymar and Mbappe with that team. Werner and Havertz would have been easy.

There were moments in the PSG and Dortmund ties that we got the feeling Pep may have messed it up, but luckily we were saved by some individual brilliance.

This competition is really not Pep's forte maybe, back then with Barca with no VAR and all was a different story.

 

[Decepticon]

Defending his BS formation, fuck off.

 

[deano ou812]

KDB can play poorly, but turn a game in a heartbeat. He was SMASHED out of the game UNFAIRLY tonight. Could have and should have been a red card. It wasn't, and we lost and that was that.

We go again...

2 trophies, including the PL title. We played 61 games this season, and we've been brilliant all season... except tonight...

CTID!!!

He was smashed out of the game by a coward would he try shit like that on his own if confronted by someone in the street he’s a cnut who deserves all he gets coming to him,billy big bollocks would shit himself if approached you can bet on that ..

I didn't know we'd lose, but i didn't feel as confident that we would win. What a fucking shame.

Sadly I was right.

I'll explain it to you.
We have gone out of the Champions League three times due to the referee we had tonight making the wrong decisions against us.
This referee has a long history of being against Pep Guardiola and against Manchester City.
Pep looked at this and realised every tackle, every bit of pressure will result in a free kick against us (at best).
With this in mind Pep decided to pick a team that were better at keeping possession rather than winning it back as that was the least likely to result in freekicks, penaltys, red cards against us.
He decided that due to the above it was sensible to pick Sterling rather than Fernandinho as that minimises the risks of red cards but allows Sterling's pace to keep James pinned back, thus negating one of their biggest threats.
Foden and De Bruyne were then allowed to roam up front in the hopes that this would then pull their back 5 out of position a little allowing us to exploit the space somewhat.
Hope this helps.

Very well put, and if our team could have actually scored a goal it would have helped.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

What's the

yes i am. Disgusted with gundogun. No reason for him to be playing over Fernandinho. Can't defend the counter, can't provide an assist, moves like a tank, WHAT IS HE GOOD AT. someone please enlighten me. Yes he scored some goals when cancelo and Bernardo did what he was supposed to do in DM, but an absolute waste. Look at Kante - that's who we need. Energy in midfield

Jeepers. If Gundog is crap and he's our top scorer this season then the rest of the players must be utterly atrocious.

 

[Bantamgaz]

Chelsea will challenge for the Title next year. We have had a few games where we collectively meltdown. Passing goes to hell ,errors creep in and we get beat. Derbies and Europe seem the main games where this phenomena occurs. Pretty much every player of ours looked off it tonight.

I don’t ......... there was little or no pressure on him season .......... now the Chelsea lot WILL be expecting a title challenge let’s see how he copes when the pressure is on

 

[Dribble]

I haven't thought once about United tonight. Not once.

Neither did I until the final whistle blew, & the bastards all came crawling out from under their slimy stones...

It's why I fuckin hate em, & never want us to turn into them! :-(

 

[Mad_fer_it]

What about gundogun. Absolutely garbage today. He's no Fernandinho, he's no David Silva, he's no kante. Overrated passenger

Oh please. He's been incredible this year because he's finally being played where he should be NOT A DEFENSIVE MID. The man look fucking pissed off because pep relegated him to a position he's average at. If I were gundo I'd question staying if pep is gonna turn his nose up when he's been a star player in a more advanced role.

 

[LongsightM13]

Except that pep will pick gundogun again next year in a key CL MATCH. and that's the end of that. Worst Citi player since 2012

You have about 30 posts and 29 of them are slagging Gundogan. Get fucked you weirdo

That's down to pep

Sterling inclusion was a consequence of a poor ream selection, and that poor team selection was not made by Sterling, we did we lose this game because of Sterling's performance, we lost it by a poor team selection and that poor team selection was made by Pep

Your writing is as bad as peps team selection

 

[Bluescholar]

Pep needs to get into that changing room and apologize to the players for not believing in them yet again.

Arf

If it’s not broke why try to fix it? As soon as I saw the team sheet with Sterling in the starting 11 I knew we were beat. And I’m not blaming Sterling, it’s not his fault. He is dog shit and we all know it. But Pep being Pep who clearly believes in his own press that he is the football Oracle and whatever he does is the correct winning way. He changed it tonight and we looked so disjointed. Not one single player played well. Our defence was fucking garbage, all four of them. Desperately missed a defensive midfielder. And I’m certainly not taking anything away from Chelsea or Tuchel. The way they set up defensively was magnificent. A solid impenetrable wall. And the fact that we had just one shot on target all night highlights that. I was 100% convinced this was our time to win this. No nerves whatsoever as I fully believed we would win it. But then the Pep factor kicked in and fucked it all up yet again. Hang your head in shame you selfish arrogant ****.

More shite from another cry baby.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

At least you can all go to bed. I've got the whole day ahead of me in NZ. Off to watch Peter Rabbit 2 with the kids.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Look I’ve said this numerous times too people and maybe on here as well,but to win your league you can’t fluke it the best team wins it hands down 38 games it’s a marathon,where as the champions league the best team doesn’t always win it,a lot of luck is involved at times as well,you can’t get lucky for 38 games but in the odd game in a knockout competition you can,we move on too next season ..

We're the best team in the Prem by a distance, although Chelsea will claim to be the best in Europe, which they're not. We win 23 on the bounce playing pragmatic, dogged football - a mix of flair and steel. Tonight, we gamble big on getting the first goal and drawing Chelsea out - left us wide open.

 

[hateutd]

Fuck off, and don't say anything....we r enough shit for the rest of the summer.
