Let’s just say thank god fan ownership isn’t a thing. Some of you lunatics shouldn’t be in charge of your own medication let alone a multi billion pound asset

As ever, Bluemoon provides irrefutable evidence of why fans must never, ever be allowed anywhere near ownership of our club.

Some people here expect there should not be any sort of negative reaction, we just lost a champions league final ffs

Never ever been more dissapointed i our result than today, all the experts here told that city would never loose 3 games in a row against the same team... Tuchel won cl in 4 months... Respect..lets hope we finally get someone who can score goals beside Agüero. Worst birthday ever.

When a team's whole philosophy is defensive in nature you either play like them or attack without losing the ball in positions that can hurt you. Got to be cuter than them.
Playing like them means not such a high line. Cede possession so they actually have to go on the front foot and create opportunities to score against lines of 5 and 3/4 . Train/ prepare for a counter attacking game. Maybe that's too much to expect ?
Possession type games are hard to execute but Pep has shown that his teams can attack and not lose too many balls whilst in possession. But hast night we got caught and possession was overturned so many times that it was inevitable they'd score first. Playing against them next season will be a test of how much we have learned .

True but plenty called it in the pre match thread about the line up.
On this occassion they knew better than Pep

There should be, but there’s a difference between a negative reaction and mob hysteria.

Indeed. I think most fans did. My own heart sank when I saw the line-up but It's at times like these that a measured response is required not the hysterical fooot-stamping of some on here.

Didn't want to post anything last night to avoid any knee jerk reactions. That said my view hasn't really changed. Disappointed is an understatement. 90 minutes of football where we created so little and not one player can really say they gave their all. All over the pitch we were poor tactically Pep got it wrong, for most the team picked itself. The only issue was would he play Rodri or Fern, as it turned out he played neither and went with a clearly unfit Gundogan and an out of form Sterling. Decisions that baffled most fans and led to a game that from minute one we had no control of and never got into.
Pep has been fantastic for us but last night he got it badly wrong and we stunk the place out for 90 minutes.
Hopefully we learn from it and get the chance to do it again and perform next time.
Congratulations to Chelsea I still maintain we are on our day a far better side but that's three games now where the real City hasn't turned up.
