I agree,and Pep got those things wrong on Saturday night as he has done previously in half a dozen games of great importance.A blind man could have seen he weakened our approach while strengthening theirs....it was as stupid as stupid gets.
Pep can be wrong,i'm not sure you get that?
It was wrong, stupid and quite idiotic. In the league game he played Rodri alone and the rest forwards, didn’t work. In the cup game he played different players and formation to what’s worked all season, didn’t work. The majority of us was confident going into the final knowing he surely can’t repeat these mistakes he’s made in the last 6 weeks on the biggest of stages. Strangely he did. We play our best eleven, tactics and formation and there would have been little we’d have needed to worry about. Gundog in a position he’s not played in for a while, to deal with Kante alone, idiotic. The most out of form player in the league, who has only got in our team when we’ve made numerous changes, shot of confidence then starts, idiotic. That change meaning Foden didn’t start in a position he has absolutely flourished in all season. There was knock on effects from what some consider as small decisions. I watched it at event city and that place went from a party atmosphere to a bit flat from the team news coming out. I’d imagine the players felt that themselves.Do you get the difference between being wrong and being stupid?
Maybe Pep was wrong ('maybe' because tactics is not necessarily wrong when you lose, many other factors determine the outcome) but he had his reasons. Have you tried to understand those reasons? I've tried, and I don't think they were stupid.
Try to understand Pep's reasoning before condemning it as stupid.

That's your post, I'm afraid. I already explained above why. If you can properly read and comprehend, you are welcome. But first try to understand Pep's reasons to do what he did. I'm afraid you are miles away from understanding them. And to criticise as stupid something you don't understand is not the best thing you can do.
Pep is always right to you, can do no wrong. That’s just delusional.
Here HereHas he been asked about the current Derby record, 6 wins in the last 15! Never mind all the pots and fancy football, get that sorted...
Three parts normally is it not?I'm starting to see a lot of Khaldoon's trainings in his behaviours now, which is interesting. Wish I could relate that to more accurate info rather than still guessing, but I'm starting to this this summer we've decided to go all out rather than keep the pennies safe, rationalising that quality is always worth it.
Glad he addresses the Super League, I know it's still a legal thing but would be good to hear he say more on it, namely that if UEFA's current plans and own decision making processes were acceptable then there's be less need for reform.
How many parts is this? Feels unfinished, still more to be said.
It's like bloody ground hog day on here at the moment. Every single thread regardless of title ends up with someone droning on and on and on about Pep and the CL final. It needs a mod to start being harsh with 7 day bans.Is this the post match thread now
Thought Khaldoon has come across well so far. Always puts a positive spin on things.
I'm looking forward to the transfers we go for before next season. I think this team needs some fresh minds who're motivated to keep the success rolling in.
I agree, Gundo is defo not a DM and is wasted there. I cannot for the life of me work out why he started him there, it probably cost us the game, all to shoehorn an out of sorts Sterling into the starting 11 at Fernandinho's and our expense!Gundo is not a DM,he is brilliant at conducting and controlling the ball when we have possession,but as a destroyer......he is not,by a long shot.
In three games,Chelsea did not once face our most effective 11,the one that destroyed PSG and was instrumental in our march to the title.....as for your need to use the word 'stupid' then look no further than Pep where that term is concerned.

Yes I have argued that us not playing DMs was insignificant as they would have made little difference to the outcome.Yeah and we have two fantastic defensive midfielders. Neither of which started. You can’t, with a straight face, claim Pep got the selection and shape correct. And you can keep your strawman Russ, I’m not arguing that only 12 players should play a whole season. I’m saying that we played our obvious strongest side in the 1/4 and semi finals. Then Pep had a brain fart and cost us in the final.
Anyway my point was about best Elevens.Yeah and we have two fantastic defensive midfielders. Neither of which started. You can’t, with a straight face, claim Pep got the selection and shape correct.
