Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

I am angry.. we deserved to lose but would like to see the handball again? I couldn’t tell if it was.. my two (no city fans) I watched it with claimed it was a blatant hand ball.. anyone got a video?
Never a handball, comes off his chest first.

And in other home truths, Sterling was our best player in the first half and Walker in the second.

Stones had a shocking opening, Dias was caught for pace, while Mahrez was anonymous.

I also thought our own fans there were hardly inspiring, but they aren't daft, they also knew we could play all week and not score with that set up.
 
Fernandinho coming on didn't change the game. Chelsea were awesome, Peps lineup and tactics didn't lose this game, Chelsea won it.
not sure i agree. He came on and we controlled the territory and possession after that. the wingers were back in their natural positions and we pushed them right back into their box
 
Well tonight's game proves one thing at least, we need the bestest striker available in the transfer window.
 
We need a way of unpicking 523s.

The middle is clogged, so you have to go wide. If their wide defenders have better games, you struggle. Chelsea under Tuchel. Lyon last year. Several other games which we've managed to win after a struggle.
100% correct - this is why we bought Mahrez - fact is if we had Sane or a Robben on the flanks we would have got behind them but we got nothing down our right wing and when we did on the left we didn't create good enough final passes. That is our area of weakness. I'm sure it will be addressed.
 
Nothing we can say can change what has happened. It is set in stone so we will just have to live with it.
Losing a game can happen, that's football, but to be utterly toothless for 97 minutes needs to be looked at seriously in the next few weeks and a plan devised to address it so it doesn't happen again. Easier said than done I am sure.
