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.
