Awful. That’s two points we have tossed away at home in injury time in the last few weeks. Two points that would have won us the league effectively.

Pep was taking the piss with that side today and we got what we deserved, Nothing. How he left Mendy on for so long defies logic.

If nothing else it has completely shut the door on some of these players getting in the side for that final. Rodri will definitely be out for me after that shitshow.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Self inflicted and given Chelsea a big psychological boost for the CL final. 2 losses on the bounce to them.

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

 

[bballchinaski]

All on pep this (and aguero) Why on earth did he change the side. The final isn’t until the end of the month...

Just play our best side for an important game

no, you would have to be real stupid to give chelsea a look at your best eleven two weeks before you play them in a champions league final. and the game was won before half time if kun scores the penalty

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Pep can fuck off , they are in our fucking heads now

Give over. Play full strength and we'll walk the final.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

What about his shit goal on 93:20 and all the others FFS

Get fucking stuffed that’s a completely different game. So if someone scored 200 own goals but scored one that one they league you’d be chuffed eh?

 

[ID70]

Pep talks about how the league is the most important trophy yet we should have had the title wrapped up weeks ago

 

[madloaf]

Shut up ffs every fucking week you're crying like a kid.

Grow up ffs.

Not wrong though.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Chelsea look strong
Fearing the final

Really? Our strongest 11 fears nobody, the opposition do the fearing

 

[domalino]

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

The manager put out a side that was 1 goal and a penalty up in the first half.

He cant legislate for Aguero deciding nows the time to fuck about.

If his striker plays for the team, we are 2-0 up and it is game over.

Stop trying to find excuses for Aguero by blaming the manager who put us on the verge of victory.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Well. Risk in playing that team, but Pep wiill have learnt a few things about Chelsea.
Don't think he needed to learn anything about us except for whether that formation might work.
No way he'll brain fart in the final, so that's good.
Serg - yes he fucked up breng arrogant. End of, as Pep knows that all the deck is stacked in our favour at present.

Today was just a complete experiment, preventing Tuchel from getting a look at match ups.
Just because we could afford to.

 

[chaddblue]

We’ll be champions before we play again on Friday, but even so very very poor from pep and every player. Just no idea what he was thinking picking that team. His slack attitude to the match was passed onto the players

and don’t get me started on that **** Taylor. Salah or Rashford are given that penalty every single time

 

[levets]

Poor all round. Key moments, Sergio fuck up, Rodri doing what he often does, gets caught in possession... then Taylor’s brainfart decision for a 100% penalty on Sterling. Then slack at the end. Very poor performance, worst of the season for me. I don’t understand why so many changes, we don’t play again until Friday night.

 

[Cobwebcat]

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

Don’t be stupid

 

[worsleyweb]

Absolute bullshit!! We'll be champions before we play another game

I never said we would t be champions Sadi it would end up very close and it will.

 

[BlumerMooner]

Nothing to do with team selection, the title was there for taking but the desire seemed to be missing today.

 

[super_city_si]

We haven’t got the pace to match them, even with a full strength team. That won’t necessarily be the deciding factor, but their style is a major inconvenience to us, 50/50.

Thats the worry. James played himself in to the final today. We have no match at lb.

 

[yankblue]

I don't like the mentality these games don't matter. Last I checked the title's not won yet and we shouldn't be so arrogant to assume it's a formality. Very very poor showing.

There's no shame in losing to a good side. There is shame in a performance like that when the title's at stake.

 

[B\connellblue]

Never mind Kuns pen. Guardiola fucking about again was the reason we lost. The team he put out would lose 8 times out of 10 to chelsea. Fucking fuming , chance to wrap the title up and he conjures up that shite

 

[Manchester_lalala]

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.

There’s no advantage for Chelsea. They’ve played against a weakened City team twice in three weeks now. If our first team played today and struggled to break them down, then that is a real physiological advantage.

 

[The Earl of Abington]

I'm not gonna blame Sergio, he has more than enough credit in his account for me. I'm a bit pissed off with Pep but we're still winning the Prem and this result has no bearing on the CL final...it might even give Chelsea false confidence.
