Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

Oh get a grip.
If you honestly believe they didn’t want to try to win that you’re deluded.
You could see the hurt across all their faces at the end.
You can’t win every game and today they weren’t helped by the manager.
The best team doesn’t always win.
It’s why we love football.

I’d rather they were fucking arsed from the start than crying like babies at the end

Bobby's record in European competition is shocking.

We'd have been better bringing Manuel back.

It was a tongue in cheek comment and more to do with his attacking intent re 93:20.

Well that sucked. Hope we can use all the positive performances against PSG and Dortmund and kick on next season. Use the pain from today to get us through the next final. Hope we show up for that one.

Foden has been exceptional at times this season,but pep changes the formation and sticks him out wide and puts sterling in his place up top with de bruyne and mahrez,all the good work of Dortmund and PSG was undone tonight what a fucking waste to get there then basically throw it away ..

Fernandinho coming on didn't change the game. Chelsea were awesome, Peps lineup and tactics didn't lose this game, Chelsea won it.

Bad day at the office for Pep and the team. I still wouldn’t swap him or them for any team or manager in the world.

 

[come-on-barney]

Sorry, I'm not having that, we've been literally dogshite for over a generation and winning the title even once was something we never could have imagined.

Some of you lot are so entitled it beggars belief. We'll be back here at this stage and we'll win it. It's only a matter of time.

Pot kettle

There's a difference between questioning his ability in the CL and slating him as though he's the worst manager we've ever had. You can't say it's obviously cost us anything. Rodri and Ferdo started in the FA Cup v Chelsea and we lost. You just never know. What if we'd got the penalty which was dismissed in milliseconds? What if KDB hadn't gone off injured and just made that one killer pass late on? Te ay people are taling on here you'd think we had lost 6-0 or something. I'm as gutted as anyone but this is pathetic. How the fuck some of you lot coped when we were in division 2 I'll never know.

There's a lot of "if's" in there!

I don't think I've seen anyone saying Pep is a bad manager, certainly I haven't but, when several poor team selections in huge European & domestic cup games have arguably been the cause of our downfall in those competitions, I think people are quite within their rights to question the manager and his approach in those particular situations.

As for those League 2 days (I prefer to think of them as Division 3!), I was actually going to far more games back then and tbh, some of it was a right fucking laugh :-)

Were you saying that when gundogan was single handedly saving our season?

Gundo is not a CDM the blame does not lie at his feet at all Pep fucked us all over

 

[Bluewonder]

I absolutely love the man, but Pep let us down tonight. So disappointed.
