That season started to unravel when KDB returned for the derby after weeks out injured. Up to that point we were on a winning streak & were looking dominant, but with the return of Kev, the on form Bernardo was dropped & the captain's armband was given to Kev.

This seemed to affect Sterling who'd been brilliant up until that February loss & being dropped for no reason seemed to seriously affect Bernardo.

KDB was seriously off the pace & was subbed on 60 mins to be replaced by Bernardo, but it was too little, too late & the Rags beat us.

Bernardo's nose was put out of joint because of the snub & it was at the end of that season he requested to leave. BIG mistake by Pep which he all but admitted to a few days ago.

Dribble, you killing me with this!
I had put those memories deep down in the darkest parts of my being!

Lyon, Chelsea and last year Madrid, have etched their mark on me, on my soul. I need supernatural healing. I could not sleep for days. I could not even leave my house. I could not even go on the internet. I was unplugged for a good 5-6weeks. A win on Saturday would do me a great deal of good. Mancity is seriously not good for my health. I am usually STOIC but this team dictates my mood!

Looooool! :-)

I share your pain mate! As soon as the lineup was announced, my body went numb!

Watching the final unravel was like an out of body experience, & when KDB went off injured, my arse fell out of my trousers.

Why Pep kept pulling moves like this is beyond me! That's when the media started putting our "Overthinking" claim to him & it started to annoy him!

It's only last season & that he started to play our strongest team, with the formation & tactics we'd practiced & understood.

The Real collapse came about when Walker went off injured to be replaced by Zinchenko. Real switched their attacks to the right & targeted Zin, which led to their late comeback goals.

I can forgive last years' Real defeat, but the Liverpool, Lyon & Chelsea defeats were all on Pep & his weird lineups, formations & tactics imo...
 
Like I've said of Mac Allister, perhaps Bellingham wanted to start every game and didn't want to rotate with others as he would with us.

Or, perhaps City don't enter into bidding wars.

It's why we need to give Philips a chance to fail. I honestly can't believe how quick some of us are to write off players.

Philips has taken advice from several players who went through a similar thing during their first season or two at City, hence why he wants to stay & prove his worth.

Just imagine. If many of us had gotten our way, Stones would be plying his trade for one of our competitors!

When I saw the line up, I was surrounded by Arsenal and Liverpool fans, was the only CITY fan. I swear I know what you talking about when you talking about a numb body. It felt like an out of body experience. I felt my heart in my head and mouth. I felt my spirit leave my body. That was an overwhelming feeling.

I hope Pep doesn't PEP this time around. This team under Pep could have won 3 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TROPHIES already, that is how good they are and they have been.

I hope Pep does PEP for many years to come.
Pep PEP'ing is one of the reasons for all the trophies we've won recently.

In my opinion, we've left at least one CL behind out of those three campaigns. We really should have been beating Chelsea, and if we hadn't fucked up big time last year, I'd have fancied us to beat TMM.

Agreed 100%! Hopefully he's learned his lesson! I recall his recent presser when we were due to play Real & he told the reporters "Don't worry guys. I won't overthink tomorrow's game". Phew!

We went on to batter Real 4-0...

Absolutely - I was just suggesting it as an additional motivation - and more that we might just not have been interested at anything like that level of wage.

There's always the fact that Barca/Real have dominated the Balon D'or for the last fifteen years - and so has that glamorous edge.

Rightfully so. City has always been the best team under Pep. Ever since Pep has arrived we have been the best team in EUROPE an can easily beat any team under the sun..., small details usually unravels us.

I firmly believe the best team always wins. That's not to say we're not one of em, but we gotta bring home the bacon to be considered the very best imo.

We've proved it in the league & FA Cup this season, it now remains to be seen if we can do it in the Champions League, because that's what the record books will show... )(

Pep overthinking every single game not just one off game like CL Final get you fact straight.

If he not by his overthinking then our season this year will not be saved.

If he win by unusual formation then he called genius if he loses then overthinking, i swear people like really don't know him very well. He always been mad of detail and overthinking every single day since his barca day. He will not just suddenly stop doing that just because he is failed. Pep built different he will not discouraged of what he always been successfull throughout his career as manager, always constantly evolving his tactic each season because he know his opponent will not be static and also evolve too so he must adapted.

You know what even if he failed on final this year again i already satisfied we win two throphy this season, i thought when we at the beginning of this year the team looked like they are not winning anything yet Pep saved our season again and that's why his built different because his overthinking saved us once again.

#SIGH# Ok buddy.
 
Oh Jude, what have you passed up? Enjoy the fan and media pressure and lifestyle in Madrid.
 
Hmm I've just seen him posting on insta from his holiday in Mykonos. I thought Madrid were getting him done early this week? Wonder if Jude is waiting on his old mate Erling to join him in Mykonos? Just find it very strange we've not put it out there that we were never at the races.
 
Who knows, maybe we prefer more experienced players in the mid for some reason.
Think about Dinho (28), Yaya (27), Gundo (25), David Silva (24), Kev (24).
Kovacic (29).

Bellers at 24 or 25 might be alright. BM surely have no probs waiting 5 years ;)
