Meh







Yeah

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Didn't even know Torres was on until he got subbed

 

[homerdog]

Useless referee and bent VAR, what can you do?

(Apart from score penalties!).

 

[mat]

Haven't you scousers got a match you should be watching?

 

[Mancity1980]

I said it in the prematch thread that team selection has left us vulnerable to a psychological advantage going into the final. So it has come to pass, having said we almost got away with it, his Aguero had struck that pen properly I think we would have won.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Should of won that comfortabley shocking performance from team and manager

 

[TonyM]

Pep got everything wrong today imo. As he did with the FA Cup Semi Final. It really was comically wrong in both games and criminally wrong to not change things early.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Only good thing about that is that it might keep the dippers out of the top 4. Second half was really poor. Starting line up was mental. Some poor performances today.

 

[iwasthere1968]

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.

Shite formation, shite selection and absolutely shite attitude for the penalty

 

[hammocity]

Annoying but the only postive is we get one more crack at winning it.

Three, edit, eight if you include all the rags games.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

So rags win the next 3 thats only 4 behind
People keep saying its over, its not.
What a fucking disgraceful selection.

 

[Chippy_boy]

I cannot believe people can have a go at Pep.

2-0 and it’s over he can’t know what one of all time greats is going to do when it most matters.

2-0 and maybe it would have ended 2-2 or 2-3.

 

[Josh_D]

I always hope before every match for the lads to win it themselves. The officials will never do them any favours. Hardly get own goals as the lads don’t typically shoot from outside the box or unless it’s clear or worked to a clear chance to be hit.

With that said, can’t even rage or moan. When a game ends the way it did, just makes you feel a tad empty. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend blues. We go again until next time.

 

[madloaf]

It was everything the sane amongst us feared. You make 9 changes you play like strangers. You believe in VAR and then it shits the bed in crunch time.

That was fucking horrible, it might not matter come the ChAmPIoNs LeAgUe final but it didn't help.

 

[whp.blue]

Had everything to do with the team selection. Missing a penalty is one thing, a shit show of a performance lies with the manager.

100%

 

[Goater=Legend]

The only positive is that a number of those players won't be in the first 11 in the final

 

[lightning Rodri]

Tuchel has beat pep twice yes but beat a second string team, in the formation that we do not normally play.

They were not full strength either isn't it ? I think Pep was trying out a system that can nullify them, but with second team. Hopefully Pep learnt something useful for the final.

 

[Beanhead]

I am actually at ease.. They are mega defensive. I think their recent record against (albeit almost our second string) will cause them to be slightly more brave. Think it will help us in the long run.

 

[gareth.guinn]

Not so long ago a pundit (forget which..Shearer?) said City's 2nd Xl could challenge for the Top 4... I think today's performance has put that idea to bed..

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

FFS! A lesson in how to piss off City fans by making a crap team selection, then Kun taking the piss, then switching off. Now Chelsea have got the advantage for the Champions League final, mind games etc, and we have to wait another week and hope United lose one of the next three. Thanks! Really pissed off!
