Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[Dribble]

So the best team on the country are one Player away from being crap every game?

No. But seeing as Chelsea had beaten us twice in recent succession (now thrice), why would we approach tonight's match with an out of form Sterling, & no CDM's? :-|

 

[Plain Speaking]

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.

Correct decision.

The only replay I saw was goalside from a considerable distance where you couldn't see clearly. It looked to me like it hit his arm which was away from his body. I have no problem if it was a correct call, I just want to know, has anyone got a link?

What is Chelsea's main attacking threat? Running with pace from deep. ABsolutely our defence needed cover. I said to my family watching that this was kamikaze football and we'll lose this and we did.

Said the same. No Fern no protection.

No way in a million years pep leaves Sergio Busquets out of a final for Barcelona so why does he leave Fernandinho out in this one. Just dont get it?

Answers on a Postcard ?.

No defensive midfielders against a counter attacking team..................really

wtf is that about ?

If that was not playing to Chelsea strengths then i don't know what was.

LUCKY!

Yeah he certainly slows down the game, big time. All he ever does is pass sideways and backwards to his best mate Rodri.

And into the back of the net

He passes sideways and backwards when the pass isn't on, he doesn't just float a shit cross in for the sake of it. I don't know if you've noticed but we like to play possession based football, I agree Gundogan was shit tonight but thats not on him it's on Pep for throwing him under the bus and playing him in holding midfield.

Whatever anyone says about playing no DMs , Pep was entitled to expect more precision from those on the pitch.
