Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

We didn't lose tonight because of Sterling.

Exactly right. He was good in the first half, he put pressure on them. 2nd half we were garbage so it didn't matter and Reece James is a pretty good player based on that evidence.

Lyon all over again. But what can you do?

fucking learn baldy, football is a simple game, play your strongest side

Really disappointing that we didn’t turn up tonight, on the biggest stage of all. Shouldn’t detract from a great season, but painful nonetheless. Got what we deserved though. Chelsea were better on the night.

So you don't think that shit show was on Pep.

Pep has won 3 out of last 4 premier leagues.
Shit show pep yeah?

Not according to Guardiola but he does think Sterling is and that he’s good enough to be captain. That’s pretty alarming TBH.

I said the same thing to my girlfriend, Sterling captain its laughable.

Part 2:

I feel fuckin sick! The Rags were praying for this, & we gave em what they wished for! The fucking twats started ringing & texting me as soon as the final whistle blew.

Why Pep? Why not start the team that barely gave Mbappé & Neymar a kick?

Sterling hasn't been on form for weeks, yet we start him in the CL Final? The biggest piss take was naming a starting line up without a CDM against a team who've beaten us twice recently, because we never played our strongest 11, or best formation.

If we'd played the team which beat PSG, & our preferred formation, I could congratulate Chelsea & say well done. When that ball was played to Havaertz (sic), he received it right where Fernandinho or Rodri would have been!

Luckily for us, he scored, otherwise Ederson would have been sent off for handball. We defeated ourselves by taking the piss against Chelsea. We disrespected them, & lost the opportunity to give Aguero the send off he deserved.

Pep, you're one of the greatest managers ever, but tonight you believed your own hype, & underestimated a team who reached a CL final. They can't be mugs to achieve that, so why were we treating them like Cheltenham at The Etihad, instead of Chelsea in a final?? Just why? Didn't our two recent defeats against them teach you anything???? :-(

Spot on. Just spot on.

A very sad evening indeed. I feel really bad for the players, who were clearly distraught.

Except that pep will pick gundogun again next year in a key CL MATCH. and that's the end of that. Worst Citi player since 2012

Go to bed you’re Drunk. I know for a fact you weren’t saying this when he was banging in the goals a couple of months ago.

 

[madloaf]

Can't remember the last time I was this angry about a City performance.

Can i point you towards last years chumps league exit - I was more mad then to be honest.

 

[chaddblue]

Surely there’s somebody in his back room staff who’s got the bollocks to reign pep in when he has these funny turns?

 

[chickaroon]

I am not so sure about that. They will have to rely on more than hitting teams on the break.

They will buy again and improve.
