Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

Mahrez and Foden were no better than Sterling.

Sam was right: That was a horror show, from selection to performances. But put the players in situations they're not so comfortable in and what do you expect?

Were we better in Paris in the first half? PSG could have been 2 up in the first 30 minutes. We didn't create more chances in Paris than today but got lucky with the goals.

The first half vs PSG at the Etihad wasn't great either. They hit the bar, Di Maria missed a great opportunity. Watch that half again. The difference with today was that Mahrez scored whereas Sterling and Foden missed today.

Why must Pep win a treble every other season? It's incredibly stupid to expect that, especially when he does wonders without strikers or with just one fit striker all season.

Imagine that the rags had Pep and were destroying the league...Some City fans are embarassing thrmselves and the club tonight with silly comments about the manager and the players forgetting they did generally very, very well this season.

Generally, we respected our opponent

The body check on Kev - endangering an opponent ?

It was a yellow, & that's what he got. KDB was barely in the match before that anyway.

 

[Keeper!]

The whole team set-up was to accommodate Sterling starting, utterly bizarre.

If this was some kind of reverse psychological experiment to get a reaction from Raheem, at least afford the three lads in the middle a change at making a press or tackle.

Bizarre to go out with an attacking team with no DM and only have one shot on goal.

That 1 player upset the balance of the team and did piss all this season to warrant a start in the final

sterling is not a striker ? never was never will be
lets stop to think what pep has done this season without a couple of strikers

give pep the right tools to work with (strikers) and stop all this false 9 bollocks and asking players to fit it
KDB has given his all this season and should not be asked to play a false 9 in a major final ? KDB should be given the ball in the middle of the park to fine that killer pass

I can understand why some people don’t care for the CL but it means a lot to players in the game and not winning it is shite.

 

[BlueRockape]

We know he is egotistical that's why we love him.
But tonight was stupidity beyond belief we threw the FA CUP for that display.
Take it on the chin that shite was down to YOU Pep

Correction: Sterling was better than Foden and Mahrez didn't play tonight.

Sterling stole a wage yet again...FACT

 

[Damanino]

Willy Caballero won the fucking CL lol.
