Calm down..their 1st team could have just lost to our 2nd team and pool can't make the top four, happy days. We'll play our first 11 in the final and they won't know what's hit them.

Bollocks. All I have to say really. Pretty awful in a game to finally put the title to bed. Do that and Pep can fuck around all he wants in the last games and play the under 21's if he wants. Very sad he chose not to.

Anyone slagging off the manager or the team after that is out of order.

Fucked over by Sergio's antics and then by the referee/VAR.

We go again.

Pep picked the team, the same team that has lost to Leeds and Chelsea twice in 4 games...3 defeats in 4 games

Wasnt too bithered before the game but the manner of that defeat has left a sour taste.

Bollocks

Are you saying that Sergio's thought process was correct? He was fucking grandstanding, bury the fucking thing we go two nil, the deflation at half time must have been huge.

 

[Blu1]

Lack of chances created again is a real worry. Especially when Chelsea create for fun against us

Ok let the Chavs have their moment - we lost that one not because they are a good side, not because their manager is some sort of genius, we lost that one because the players on the fringe of the first team didn't do enough and showed they really don't deserve a place in the final. Three of our defenders were too passive and gave away possession too easily. Our strikers looked very lame and we gifted them the midfield area by playing only one recognised midfielder.

Maybe if we were to choose which game out of the two we want to win we'd all say the final but it's frustrating that some players just don't look to have any appetite to prove to Pep they should play. Of our experienced group - Sterling, Sergio, Jesus, Ake, Cancelo, Mendy and even Laporte didn't do enough today which I find very disappointing. I'll give a pass for Ferran as he's young and was not given any sort of service and Rodri who was left exposed and did ok until his error.

It’s annoying that we didn’t clinch it and they night. But it has echoes of when Utd beat us when we were 2 up. We didn’t play our best team and paid for it. I don’t see it as a pointer to the final. We will have our first team out and there will be no complacency.

 

[I'm Blue]

Piss poor, got what we deserved.
Nothing.
All of them were shit.
Title on the line and that’s the performance?
Fucking dreadful.

 

[Manc in London]

What I am most disappointed about is the continued poor form of the fringe players. Individually, they have been poor pretty much every game they have played in the last month or so. Worrying that we could end up having to rely on one or two of them in the final.
