This was a game of fine margins and not down to whether Tuchel has Pep's number.

Can anyone confirm if we have the worst penalty record in english top division?

Raggy Taylor wont be reffing the final, that's got to be a bonus

The worst refereeing performance I've ever seen was Taylor in our game with Chelsea a few years ago, that ended in a mass brawl which was all his doing.

The failure to give a penalty to us in the second half tells you all you need to know that corruption in football is alive and well.

If I was

Do people honestly not see the value in not letting Chelsea get used to playing against City's best side in their best formation? They won't know what hit them in the final, City will be buzzing all around them.

That wasn't near to Chelsea's first XI - are you aware of that ?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

You are right but most of the players are not in form or haven't played often

True, a wrong decision away from winning the game though.

Any more like today and we will end up with nothing but the soft-drink cup

I don't understand the change of system, we looked shite.
Saying that we should've had that in the bag by HT, that penalty by Sergio was a disgrace.
The 2nd half was open but they were tearing us apart, Ake and Mendy too slow and Dias was being pulled out of position.
But that foul on Sterling was a penalty all day and even though we looked disjointed we could've won it.

We'll play 1st team in the CL Final tho and i'm confident we'll win

But why give Chelsea the fucking opportunity to beat us ahead of the final... it’s fucking madness and IF they do it again in the final you know who’s to blame ... Taggart wouldn’t have done that today and neither should Pep have done it

Do you want Tuchel to have a free shot at playing our first team before a final? a free shot to go away after today game and try and work out the first team weakness? playing a second team means hes never come up against the first team of man city videos can do so much but not more than actually being there seeing the best players play in their best postions.

Pep knows this. Dont give tuchel a free shot at seeing how our 4-3-3 formation plays in person.

On the plus side that was Chelsea at full strength against our mostly 'B' team ;)

I'd guess Jorginho, Silva and Mount will start the final. Perhaps Chilwell and Havertz too.

That wasn't even a team he picked today, just a load of square pegs.
