The pros outweigh the cons.

Ederson snuffs out a huge amount of opposition chances throughout a season coming off his line. He has to, with the amount of space we leave in behind, and he's all-round brilliant at it.

From time to time he's going to get beaten. I'm not going to throw the baby out with the bath water here.

Difference between just sweeping and coming off his line then standing in no mans land while they fucking tuck it underneath him

We will come back stronger next year!

Got the experience... I am confident. Hope Pep has learnt his lesson about tweaking in the biggest game of them all

I'm afraid he won't.
Too many times now that he won't comply when it matters
 
I miss the days when we lost games with our best 11 giving everything on the Pitch.

You went and had a pint,and had no problems losing the game to a better team.

Litrally every defeat under Pep feels like it is his fault.

I should be waking up today,thinking fair play to Chelsea they beat the best team we could put out against them on the night.

But i am not.....i am thinking "yet another defeat 100% on Pep" to go with thrown Semi-Finals,and Derbies we throw every season.

Why does he try and reinvent the Wheel....it is mind boggling

Honestly i thought he had come of age this season,Found a winning formula.Not only a winning formula,a record breaking European formula.Proven all the way to Porto.

Anfd just like that he changes it.

Is it any wonder we are all so fucking angry.

None of us are talking about the game.Just Pep.

Give it a few hours and the clappers will try to destroy us on this opinion

My lad over there, like everyone else jumped through hoops to get there, paid a fortune and for what?

A manager who chose a final to have a tinker with a formation

We played 1 - 4 - 6

No one winning or controlling the ball in midfield

What the fuck

Sterling always makes RBs look world class

Well it's true that he offers absolutely no threat whatsoever. Even the running in behind, when he manages it, you can go and open another beer with no fear of missing him actually scoring or anything. Just come back to watch the replays of him falling over.

Maybe misinterpreted my post, it does not matter now we won two trophies, the last memory of this season is an embarrassing, insipid showing in the biggest game in the club's history.

Players have already spoken of how they felt after the Lyon defeat last year and how much he mentally impacted their summer.

Especially so, when a lot of the players last time were pissed with Pep for his formation against Lyon.

We went on to that pitch last night already beaten, you could maybe even see it in Pep's pre-match interview in comparison to Tuchel's.

The respective players saw that team sheet and, in that moment, we had players who didn't quite believe we could now be favourites, just as fans, ourselves, felt the omission not just of any defensive midfielder, but a squad leader in Fernandinho, had fucked us over.

Nerves can be legislated for, but too many of our players looked petrified in that first half and, in the second, were guilty of trying to do things as individuals, rather than a team, merely out of desperation.

We had no period of domination, just areas Chelsea were happy to let us play in.

With regards new signings, they are coming regardless, it was more a nod to those comments who only think we need a big name striker like Kane or Haaland (who would certainly have given us a plan B last night)

There are three of four areas that need properly addressing and my biggest point being, it needs to be players who are hungry to win.

Chelsea had that last night, they paid £220m out last summer on young players with no real trophy background and it showed.

We have a few players now who I suspect are sated by what they have already won and that can make a huge difference.

Kompany, Yaya, Silva, Fern, Aguero - we have lost leaders.

What we need now are players such as Kane, Haaland and Grealish.

People who will push the team to greater heights.

I don't think last night was the end, but it was certainly the end of the beginning.

And that takes money and players with their own personal drive.

That's all very well but can we trust Pep to actually play them if we did bring them in? He's so hung up on having a team of midfielders it's almost like having a striker or two is an irritation!
 
I think Peps team selection for the two previous Chelsea games gave them the upper hand and the confidence coming into last nights game....it was definitely a contributing factor..coupled with the ludicrous decision to mess with the formation to get Sterling into the team.
