Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

Nope, not reading this. I'm gutted enough with Pep's tinkering to stand 213 pages. And I'm a happy clapper.
See you in september.
Up the fucking levitating blues
Logging off.

Good night all. Not going to lie I am still very upset but hopefully we can get to the final sooner rather than later.

 

[Bluescholar]

Correct, it doesn't.

I just wanted this one for Pep, as a "thank you" for what he has done for City, to cement his creditials in the eye of his critics. Sadly , tonight it was not meant to be. I will never discredit him for what he has done for City, nor judge this result as a moniker for his successes at the club.

But the reality is that his "meddling" in th squad formations and line-ups has cost him this accolade, and it should be pointed out. If winning th CL is his goal, he has failed. He hasn't failed me personally, though. I'm not 'sad' for Manchester City, i'm 'sad' for Pep.

Utter shite pal

Purely his fault. When he plays, kdb can't play rodents can't play. He gets in everybody's way. Useless at defending counters. Useless at attacking play

Fuck knows how he's top scorer eh?

Fair enough, it was still 10 of our strongest 11 though.

It’s not like the Lyon side he put out which was a complete fuck up.

Yes it was. The way peeps are tallong you'd think he changed the whole team. Can't help thinking Fernandinho would have got an early yellow tonight and may have been a liability for the rest of the game.

Fine margins, great defensive performance we couldn't crack and brilliant tackle to deny Foden was the difference between 0-1 and 1-1 at 90 mins.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

The selection was unfathomable and the positioning of Foden incredulous. That said, not one player was at it tonight which is seriously concerning given the amount of time to prepare, and the enormous backroom assistance there is for every player. Not simply all Pep's fault.

Sell gundogun (even if it's for free), rodri, cancelo, Mendy, get Kante Grealish and kante

So did I.
Actually felt worse when we lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup

I was livid after the FA Cup, tonight we didn't play very well and lost to a breakaway goal. Shit happens. Same as in the FA Cup but at least tonight we had the chance to play the players we wanted to rather than whoever was fit after the game a few days previously.

Agree to a point, but good teams adapt, wasn't like he'd thrown a one legged man they didn't know in there was it. Annoyed we diddo 'our thing' but shit hapoens, we were awful.

" Good teams adapt " ..errr maybe in less drilled teams , we work at our best working to a formula. It works, our players are chosen to play to a certain way .
The trophies we've won are testament to that.
Changes to this formula are our downfall , not the players fault.

Agree totally. 2 top teams tonight 1 mistake v 0. If our fans didn't react like some of the idiots on here ,it would take a lot of pressure off the players. I hope they don't read the match day forum or the post match thread. If they did they would all be worried about their jobs. There are hundreds of fans who could manage and play better than them. Just wish they would get off their arses and save us.

I think Chelsea deserved to win. I agree with you about people having tantrums, though. Not appropriate. Some people need to grow up.

That's two Kante's, can you narrow it down a little.
