If they had gone in at half time 2 nil down the game changes completely. I'd wager Kante and Ziyech come off early too.

Ifs and buts mate, we lost and have handed them and our detractors confidence and a pile of ammo. Would rather we played our best eleven and won then let them worry about us.

It now means there is less time to prepare for the cl after winning the league, whatever happens, its a bad day when it could have been great.

Pep hasn’t learned a thing from the Leeds game. Theres no excuse selecting a side that played as though they’ve never played together before. Far too many also ran players continually made mistakes. Just hope the first team stay fit until the Champions league final.

Just need Pep to stop fucking about and play our best team at Newcastle as usually it’s a tough game there for us and they have hit some form.
Rags play 3 times before then and I expect them to win at Villa, beat a Leicester team who have collapsed and beat the Dippers so be just 4 behind us when we play Friday but win that and it’s done.

Reckon Rags will win all 3
Pressure back on again

Curious as to who we play for Newcastle. Second team again?

We're not going to rest everyone until the final so I think we'll get about.half first choice, half fringe.

Jeez. Decent size fridge that!

The Mrs wasnt happy when i took all the food out :)

We all knew that side was not good enough to beat CFC. Pep chose to be fair to his players and it backfired massively. Stupid decision, and imo a weak decision. You don't do that in such an important game.

If you're a City fan and ok with what you saw today - then you need to get your head checked. Manager and players totally disrespected us fans today. Insane.

Good job you couldnt buy at ticket ;)

Not true imo. Chelsea won it because Aguero decided this game was a joke and an opportunity to dick about. That changed the game right there. It would have been dead.

Yep I've put that in my summary. I still think they may have got a draw but 2-0 is s bigger psychological barrier than 1-0.

 

[Father Paul]

Where's the big psychological boost? They played a side with 9 changes from our best team and put together in a completely untried formation just to fit them in and only managed to beat us with the last kick thanks to some poor decisions, there's really not much of a boost they can take from that

I felt they totally destroyed us after the break and will have received a major psychological boost. Now of course they will face a different side in the Final but their system looks extremely effective to me and will cause us lots of problems. The good angle to this is that we won't be going into this in a complacent manner.

That’s two shockingly poor last minute goals we’ve conceded now to snatch a defeat.

Got a similar feeling to the derby 3-2 loss, such a poor and completely avoidable loss when given the chance to wrap the league up.
