Yep me thinks a dm but even with the players out there it should and could have been fast fast pass pass high intensity and also press them high pressure their back line and me thinks we win.Pep made a huge mistake....BUT the lack of intensity, ambition and poor mentality of the majority of our players is unnacceptable. The intesnity and physicality of Chelsea players was 3x ours, all the second balls were won by them. We didn't lose due to quality or tactics. We lost because our lack of intensity and desire.
If it was up to me: Stones, Gundogan, Bernardo, Mahrez and Sterling never play a final again. It's not about playing bad, because Foden, Zinchenki and KDB played poorly, but it's about having a strong and winners mentality. It's about wanting to win and sacrificing your body if it's neccesary.
Well done Ederson, Walker and Dias. They had the desire and they played well. Also Fernandinho and Jesus tried.
fight but littl else, not having a quality striker cost us in the end, same for a quality LB
Walker a 9 and even he was not the best RB, James was magnificent for themVery generous. Other than Walker I cannot think of a single player who merited over 4.
Utter bollocks - pep had a day just a day not a great one perhaps but ffs he has won the premiership btw and that takes all season so just ponder that for a moment and then maybe u might realize what a monumental achievement that actually was and then ponder , if u can, we lost a cup match ,a one off -go think again - we have the best, the best coach in the world -just remember that when we do win that cup which we will sooner or laterYou'd have to consider that for sure. 10 years of not winning it with arguably the best team every year, and you do need to wonder why.
They will improve the team no end. Agree Dinho should have made the start and Pep made the error.Whats the point?
We had one player in our squad that was capable of dealing with kante and he spent 2 thirds of the game on the bench.
Genius my fucking arse.
Oh and well done to Chelsea, the better team won.
Because they are negative possession against the bigger teams . TT is defensive manager. Counter is his only positive. More guile needed from Pep though . Too honest. But if they dont want to come out and play they are so so conniving and live off mistakes then at least offer a riposte,something that breaks that awful defensive negativity .We may play our best team against them next season and have a decent plan to boot, you never know a light bulb may go off
Kevado said we need a new manager.. You stuck up for that pov when someone told Kevado he was talking rubbish.Nowhere have I questioned Pep's achievements in the League and the football has (in the main) been a pleasure to watch.
But surely it's not wrong to question his ability in the CL (and, as someone else mentioned in the FA Cup) when poor team selection has quite obviously cost us.
