If we had won with a full strength team but KDB and Phil went off with injuries would everyone be happier than they are today?

When he tinkers all manner of shit seems to happen. How many games have we missed pens and open goals then conceded bizarre goals or suffered daft officiating.He stands on the line looking astonished while most of us half expect it.

Was it not?
Let me in to your secret

No secret. We played a knock out tie 4 days prior that if we lost, we were out... yesterday we could lose and we are still going to win the competition is was played in.

Far from the biggest game of the season.

I certainly agree it was stupid from pep and was very angry myself at him but perspective is needed.

Could it be. Could it actually be that Pep was showing our owners how shit some of squad players are?
That we need to strengthen this squad to reap full reward.
Hold on Sterling scored a tap in and should be tied to a new lucrative deal.
Bollocks that yesterday was worse than watching a Wolves match.
Bland with no will to win.
Bemoaning a penalty decision (which it was) at home to Win The LEAGUE

I’m more pissed off today than I was yesterday.
Aguero’s probably eliminated any chance of Pep trusting him to play any part in the final, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t play again. I hope he does, and I hope he scores a few, but I don’t think it will happen.
We’ve made life easier for Chelsea which is incredibly annoying and foolish.

I still think our strongest team is more than capable of beating theirs, but we’ve given them all of the confidence they need. Never forget how important the feeling of being unbeatable is when you’re on a run, that feeling has made us invincible for long periods in recent years, and we’ve just given them that feeling.

Injuries can happen at any time, even in training. Can't wrap them in cotton wool until the final

By that logic are suggesting neither of those players start any of the remaining premier league games?

Sorry mate don't agree.
He will now play a strong team at Newcastle and hopefully we win it giving us just 2 games to rest!/experiment with
Psychological edge as gone to Chelsea

 

[terraloon]

Really? Only Mount and Thiago and Chilwell really missing
Don't think any of those would have
made a difference to Chavs overall performance yesterday

Havertz & Jorginho, also

As for making any difference who knows

If the Rags win the next three games (3 in 5 Days) before we play again on Friday, then start to worry. Until then just cool it,

If Pep had picked a sensible team now we wouldn’t have to worry. We would be eating our Bacon Butties with a glass of champagne celebrating another title win.
It’s still very likely to happen but the gloss will have been taken off, especially if Manure drop points, giving us the title.
Luckily we had no fans at the game. If we did there would have been ructions!
