Fern changed the game when he came on the others were stitched up by the ego

Spot on,don't fucking fix what isn't broke.

He did.

Chelsea fans were very vocal tonight, could hear them all game

BT had that sound bias imo

My biggest team selection worry pre match was Pep playing Rodders and Fern :)

still think the 11 put out was good enough to win tho, and not enough players turned up

i feel a bit for the players. he confused them. Foden not on the left wing, Zinchenko not having the guy inside him to pass off as usual, mahrez weirdly being tucked in all the time and not stuck to the touchline, walker having
to go alone down the line

I haven't had enough of Pep but I agree that we needed Fernandinho in that team what a fucking stupid decision to drop our best player for an out of form one. It literally fucked the team right up. How many games has Gundogan played holding midfield this season?

And we all know that Chelsea scoring a goal that's way too much more difficult to score then.. And Pep give them an open avenue in midfield, exposing Stones and Dias a lot

Bizarrely, this is probably a good result for next season. It means the players will be determined.

Fuck that. I want us to win shit. They should be determined to win no matter what when they earn 100k+ a week

Our fans were shocked we did not turn up, I would be furious if I spend a lot of cash going to watch that

Team selection all wrong and sadly didn't deliver when it mattered. No one stepped up.

Congratulations Chelsea. Fully deserved result. Should have started with Ferna or Rodri atleast. Pep not starting either affected the balance of the team imo and felt their goal could came from gundog being out of position. Overall still a successful season but wnt deny I'm feckin devastated.

Tuchel?

:-)

Ha.

Spot on, we have loads of guys doing analysis, but none bothered to to tell Pep that Sterling has been off form for 8 months, and it showed today, his touch was woeful and James had him in his pocket all game.
Gundogan is our top scorer this season, but not playing behind KDB, Silva and Foden.
Fernandinho has been on form and our best DM when he's played, and with the full backs pushing so high we bloody needed him.

I was no secret how Chelsea would play, they'd done it twice in the last month, so why set up and let them do it again.

It's not the first time Pep has done this, the league could have been wrapped up three games sooner and an FA cup semi final won had Pep not tried to be a smart arse.

He's brilliant, won us three leagues out of four, but he can be really frustrating at time.

The summer will be fun, a few players could be on their way, would we miss Mendy, Sterling and Jesus based on this seasons form?

Everything you said!

I wonder if any players will say something like Kev did after the Lyon disaster.

I’d sell mendy and Sterling and keep Jesus personally.
