Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

Ah well just the premier league by 12 points and the league cup it is then.
Maybe next year.

Well said pal. I’m here and it fells like the players have kicked us in the balls and laughed in our faces

No they didn't, what nonsense.

 

[Keeper!]

I wonder if any of our coaching staff question Pep or are they all just yes men?

I hope our Chairman is not putting his arm around him tonight, tomorrow morning I would want to know what the fuck happened there

Pep's performance tonight was a disgrace, he get lots of plaudits and rightly so, tonight he was pathetic, insulting and not befitting the title of Best Coach in the world.

That's fine. People calling for him to be sacked are bang out of order though, can we agree on that?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I know ,what's pep ever done. You've got my vote. If your not the next premier league manager you should be a motivational speaker you miserable git.

Since when did I say he’s not ‘done anything’?

Maybe actually read my posts first you fucking spoon.

Ffs .. get me on that plane and get me home

what a complete anti climax. What a complete no show. We’ve had more damaging defeats in important games before but that is right up there with the biggest ever disappointments

I wouldn’t mind if we’d gone down fighting but we lost without even a whimper

very very poor from everybody including pep. Just play the team that battered PSG twice ffs

 

[Burtonblue]

No. Its the belief that a City team should turn up and have a go, give their all and make the supporters proud, win or lose. Not absolutely and pathetically shit themselves against a team they are miles better than.
If that rabble wearing out shirt tonight showed as much effort, commitment and belief as the thousands who went to unprecedented hassle, trouble and expense just getting to Porto then we would have won easily

Oh get a grip.
If you honestly believe they didn’t want to try to win that you’re deluded.
You could see the hurt across all their faces at the end.
You can’t win every game and today they weren’t helped by the manager.
The best team doesn’t always win.
It’s why we love football.

Just read we haven’t played without a defensive mid since November and sure why not let’s do it in a final

 

[Metalartin]

Well I really wanted to win this, there's no telling when the next chance to win it will come. You know what though? It's still a great time to be a blue, we got to our first CL final and won the League and a cup to go with it. We weren't embarrassed or dominated by any means, we didn't perform but it was still a tight game with fine margins. Foden could have scored two with a little more luck, maybe sell the defender making the block a dummy and get a free shot on goal or a penalty if he played it right. I'm not complaining though he had very little time on both chances, but those were our best.

If we had gone ahead, I don't see Chelsea getting back into the game either is the thing, we were quite well matched and I think that's a lot to do with Tuchel's obsession with Pep. Pep will work him out next year like he did in Germany.

I don’t agree with the selection but I think had we played Fern instead of Sterling....we would have still lost.
