Wimbledon of old football they do it very well and keep the ball well they so hard to break down fair dos to them

Inter are not that disimiliar. We need to be prepared for it.

That unbeaten run had to be over at some point. Monkey off the back in an irrelevant game.

Very good point

I really thought some of our squad players would put in some great performances in the last three games to show they want to play a big part in the two finals (or even that they’re good enough to play a part at this club long term).

Apart from Foden, none of them did, and it was disappointing to see despite none of the results being important.

Rico, maybe, very calm with the ball, close control, neat short passing but without yet being expansive, creative. Will come good though, I feel sure.
Phil had very decent peformances today and at Brighton and I'm sure he will very much want to start at Wembley, and deserves to. Another 3 each for him and Erling would do very nicely...

fans of other clubs looking at todays result will go, yeah but I bet they rested players, not an entirely unexpected result given the circumstances. Next week and the week after are all that matters really.

Infact, Inter still play like a Conte team, and Spurs have been a difficult team for us over the last few years. They are 100% inferior to us, but if we aren't careful they are also 100% capable of getting a result.

Always disappointing to lose, but today will be long forgotten by next Saturday. Come on City!

I don’t see how u can have momentum if ur playing a team that won’t play the finals. Maybe lost a bit of match sharpness but the first team will still feel they have momentum off the back of a premier league title win and knowing what is at stake

They'll be all set to get out there and right the wrongs.
And the first match is a derby - which will add more motivation.
Which in itself, will be the competitive game they need as a primer for the CL final.

All set to work out well when you look at it like this...

Yep we have our strongest team with that magic of our players desperate to win it!

Stop fucking moaning you precious cunts in here that are! We've won the league for the THIRD season in a row with THREE games to spare, after chasing down a very good Arsenal side with an eight point lead. As well as that we've reached the fa cup final and the champions league final, thrashing Bayern Munich and Real Madrid along the way. In thar process we've played the best football I've witnessed in fifty five years of watching this club. In TWENTY FIVE games we've lost ONCE in a dead rubber game while playing the reserves.

Will resting key players lose us momentum? Nobody knows. Such is our system and the players knowledge of playing it I doubt it. The ones rested will be fit and raring to go. If we lose one or both finals I'm sure all the told you so whiners will be back saying it was because of this. It won't be. Two tough decent sides want to win these finals as much as we do. Bad luck, a worldie goal, the dreaded var and/or the other teams playing better could happen and we could lose. I hope we don't and if we put a performance in like against Liverpool, Arsenal and Madrid we won't barring something freak happening. Count your blessings, stop fucking whining, get behind the lads and stop thinking you know more than the best manager in the world, you don't.

Some of you lot still think we're watching Alan Ball's City team haha

Well thats not true is it.

Would you not rather go into these games flying?
