Per usual shafted by VAR

Ha ha. Rico at left back!Does anyone else have the unshakeable sense of dread that Pep is going to do something absolutely crazy in these finals. I can see 'play Rodri at CB' whirring around his head and its making me feel fucking ill.

It's just the stress of the treble looming. Anyone who says they're not thinking about it at this point is frankly lying. It's getting to some people.Between this thread and the pitch invasion thread I'm really wondering what many on this forum do for enjoyment! There's so much bitterness around! Just enjoy the moment!!
What a great game to watch, played by men who believe in their coaches and the spirit of the game. This was a game for purists, full of technical skill and the desire to win. Brighton are an excellent side, and they were the better team for parts of the game, as we were in other parts. Now we have the option for direct play, there is always a plan B to combat an opponent who can go toe to toe with us. I have no doubt that the loss of Dias, Laporte, Ake, Ajanji and Jack compromised us, but they are lively, pacy and fluent and a superb opponent for us to keep our minds where they need to be. There is no way, having played that game, that any player came off the pitch more complacent than before, if ever that was a consideration. I think we have an outstanding prospect in Rico Lewis and potentially the world's best player in Phil Foden. As he moves centrally, particularly into the number 10 position, he is going to devastate teams with pace, trickery, close control and vision.

Exactly and if that was a foul we should have had a pen when Silva was pulled back in their area, which VAR basically ignored !How many times have we seen defenders in the penalty area do much worse than Haaland did and never get penalised? The so called 'crackdown' several seasons ago when penalties were to be awarded for defenders holding in the area lasted precisely one game when City and Stoke were both awarded a penalty for holding by Mike Dean.
Watched on bein, commentary very complimentary for Brighton, outplaying a half arsed blue side.
If we needed to win we would have, as we just need game time to keep ticking and remain unbeaten job done.
And well never see that back 4 again

maybe we were watching the present and future city manager ?
That's my point shouldn't this be one of the best times to be a fan! Just go and wind up a few united fans if you need to unload it's easy pickings at the moment lolIt's just the stress of the treble looming.

Sounds a bit entitled that, talking about taking another club’s staff.Agreed..love the way he gets his team playing...intense but great quick and fluent passing. He could be a serious candidate after Pep has rode off into the sunset.
We should also take Brightons recruitment team as they keep finding absolute bargains
