It simply wasn't a penalty. They showed two replays. Hey, I'm with you on the conspiracy - but this time we aint got a leg to stand on.

Did you just suggest that Sean Dyche is a better coach than Pep? Oh dear.Not only did Pep make a mistake in his starting line-up, he failed to correct whilst he still had time.Obviousafter 20 mins we were going to concede. There was no effective DM.
Coaches like Dyche, Hodgson, Rodgers will have looked at that and just been stunned that the coach did not do what he should have done. Pep must have an ego problem. That's a problem. You put yourself and your pride before your players.
I have seen the game again until the Chelsea scored damn IT. City had some bangers Chelsea just had the Werner shot which was easily saved by Ederson at minute 13(same as Mahrez Cross was saved by Mendy in at minute 33 and) and 35 seconds later Werner after another mistake in possession by City the chance in which shot against the outside of the net. But Foden‘s big big chance which was saved in last second by Rüdiger (would lead instantly into a GOAL) and Sterlings pass which was intercepted by Chilwell (last second) when Mahrez was running into a box and had a 1vs1 vs Mendy damn IT... and the goal was clearly avoidable ffs.

For me this was the worst thing all night, as you say it was clear after the first 20 minutes that the formation wasn't working. As hard as it may have been the decision to make the change should have happened then.Not only did Pep make a mistake in his starting line-up, he failed to correct whilst he still had time.Obviousafter 20 mins we were going to concede. There was no effective DM.

It is hard to take.That’s what makes it so hard to take. We didn’t give everything on the pitch tonight, mainly because of our manager. This will take a lot to get over. We’ve dominated domestically, this was our chance to cement ourselves as one of the best teams this country has ever seen. Pep fucked it tonight.
I suppose it is another season of Pep talking up the Rags in every fucking Derby as a big club, with lots, and lots of history.
That shit would have ended tonight with us being European Champions our Club would have been even bigger than his ego.
Thought crossed my mind would an egotistical narcist want that to happen.
As things stand now we are still lucky to have him, and have not achieved the true greatness we desire..
Apologies maybe I am thinking a bit irrationally, i am struggling to comprehend and make sense of that team selection. I can not help feeling like he deliberately set us up to fail tonight.

Completely agree. Utter idiocy to pick gundogun over fernandinhoidiocy
Oh yeah. we were fucking garbage tonight. The problem is, after 15 mins you know whether we're going to win and the next 75 minutes are fucking beautiful or heartache.Let's get this right. We've been the best side in England over the last 10 years. Yet we've frozen repeatedly on the European stage.
Tonight was a piss poor performance.

The goal came down our right and the centre halves were all at sea. Our front 6, plus subs, then failed to trouble their goalkeeper for 97 minutes.
So blame the left back?

Any good defender?Been waiting for a while and cannot see the main reason why we conceded tonight...Zinchenko .....I really think he's been reading the newspapers recently and how he has "arrived"....any good defender would have got goalside and stopped the opportunity .....so why has nobody mentioned this....to be fair Ederson handballed and if they had not scored we would have been down to 10 so thank you Zinchenko !!! If we get an offer in the summer let me know and i will drive him to the new club
He's a midfielder filling in at left back.
The left back was the guy who picked a team without a defensive midfielder right?The goal came down our right and the centre halves were all at sea. Our front 6, plus subs, then failed to trouble their goalkeeper for 97 minutes.

Sadly tonight proved what many of us have suspected over the last several months. Raheem is simply not good enough at the highest level. We need a proper striker for next season...Kane or Haaland would make a massive difference to our team.
We absolutely knew that would be Chelsea's approach. Should have been more prepared for it.yea it looked like we were going to concede after there balls over the top to werner kept opening us up, and our poor positioning from our cbs. Should have been addressed.

This 100%Devastated. Why again does Pep have this blind spot on big games. Surely he need to be held to account within the coaching staff and challenged accordingly. “ thinking about playing sterling and no CDM boys, what you think?”.... eh no you stupid ****, play the team we know is our best. Fuck me man
We'd have lost on penalties after a 0-0 120 minutes. Is that better or worse?We will wonder forever what the classic XI would have done in this final.

Realistically he may of been one off in the selection ,but there was enough out there to deal with it, they knew the 11,who they were playing, the tactics, it turns to shit if you play badly,we did. And let's not forget Chelsea were good on the night.You'll get no argument from me that we were shite, but systems matter - otherwise why have a fucking manager? And he fucked up the system and we all know it.

They showed a replay and the ball clearly hit his arm but only after deflecting off his body, as such it was unintentional and not a penalty under the latest rules.How can you be sure without seeing a proper replay? If it's not a penalty, then why not show us the footage?
It feels like a cover up. I just want to know the truth. At the moment I feel like we're been screwed by VAR can someone get proper footage? I want to know whether to boo at future CL games ;-)
Correct decision.
They showed it back on tv. Not conclusive but I don't think it was a penalty.How can you be sure without seeing a proper replay? If it's not a penalty, then why not show us the footage?

I bet Zinchencko, who was shattered after the game, gathers himself together probably called is wife and said, not a word out of you. I don't care the context. Yes, he over thought it again. But I better not hear you said something about it.Any player quotes yet? I wonder what they think after this. after such a consistent CL run this final must be a real slap on the face.
