Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

Sterling was not one bit worse than Foden or especially Mahrez or KDB. its the lack of good ideas to break up Chelsea defence that killed us.

You are correct

 

[silvathechihuahua]

I can’t even remember a shot apart from mahrez at the end just terrible from start to finish I’m fuming

Gutted . Well done Chelsea .

 

[Keeper!]

tactics and messing with a winning formula were to blame, YET AGAIN

French Farmers last season and Chelsea Pensioners this, jesus what a mess

Chelsea the better side tonight - their players knew their positions, and they played as if they wanted more. Ours looked a little lost, whether that was because they weren’t comfortable with the tactics or they were slightly overawed but they didn’t look up for it.
Shame but it has been a great season and we’ll be back.

 

[HolisticJim]

Not many chances were created tonight, that's the problem. No matter how many goals Chelsea scored, this is no excuse. City can normally creat many more chances no matter which the opponents are.

This. Its been a problem since Silva left and to some degree before it too.

We need a play maker, a defensive midfielder in the Kante/Fern mould and a striker.

 

[M Gaudino]

The one when Sterling shot on goal and it hit an outstretched hand. Doesnt matter that it hit his body first, hand made body bigger, that is a penalty, as shown with the emre can one when that rule was explained.

nah man you are clutching.

and rudigers was a standard body check - never usually a red

 

[remember arthur mann]

The fight in Jesus when he came on, that is one thing i won't forget from tonight. Hope we keep him. Walker too.

Need to be moving Walker on, far to old, team in transition to younger players. Probably get a few bob off Sheffield Utd, better fit for them.

 

[Akiva]

Oh sorry, here's me thinking wee were challenging another team for an accolade.

Fuck me and others for being disappointed that we didn't rise to the occassions tonight.

I guess we should all just take every achievment in our stride, right?

Because that is how you progress!

Like I said, be disappointed.

But let's not go overboard here. We're still the champions and that's not a gimme at all (see, Mancini, Pellers, etc)

But sure, making our FIRST EVER CL FINAL is in fact progress

 

[Big Jonjo]

the lack of options up front killed us tonight simple ? aguero was finished long before tonight. sterling is not good enough at this level. jesus is even worst

this will be the lesson city and pep will learn from tonight get 2 top strikers and this city team win the champions league

I thought Jesus played better than Sterling and Mahrez tonight and he only played 30 minutes. He may not be the striker that we hoped he would be when we first signed him but he does improve our team more often than not. It's been a long time since we could say the same for Sterling.
