Always preferred the Carabao Cup anyway

Yes. Such a risk that we conceded 3 goals in 14 games and 2 of them were consolation goals when were were 3+ goals up.

There are some very poor memories on this forum.

We conceded few goals because of our quality in possession and style of play, fuck all to do with Gundo's defensive ability. He's slow, weak and it's not his natural inclination to track runners. Similarly, Otamendi was brain dead every season he was with us but our play style and his quality bringing the ball forward masked his deficiencies.

Great player and he was great during that run but he still got bullied numerous times on the break. Almost cost us the title, in fact.

Stayed off the forum last night as couldn't face it. On reflection as a long time City fan through thick and thin from the 3rd tier of English football to the final of the Champions League we have come a long way. We will win this sometime who knows when but when we do I want to be there in the crowd. Was always going to be a tough game and although most of us think Pep may have got the selections wrongs hopefully he learns from this. I thought this would be a year of transition however its ended up being a pretty good season. It's very rare for a team in their 1st Champions league final to win it so hopefully makes the players more hungry for next year and they have the experience under their belt

And were you around in 2019 when we won 14 games in a row with Gundogan playing defensive midfield?

So you think he got it right Yesterday?

No one is defending but many are using it as a cop out saying it’s purely the reason we lost. We didn’t turn up but we had our moments and didn’t take them

the middle was wide open and they went right on through

Same here, I said nothing on Wednesday because it could bite me on the arse if we lost yesterday. Overthinking it like Pep because they have gone all in on me anyway and I didn’t lay a glove on them. Shameful error of judgement

Same here

I won’t make the same mistake twice

I misjudged the extent of their lack of class

Which moments? I was half pissed but all I remember is one shot from Mahrez that sailed over the bar in injury time

Would that be the BlueMoon People's Front or the People's Front of BlueMoon?

I mean, what has Pep ever done for us?

Ha ha ha - quality, mate!
