Thats pretty much their full strenghth team without Mount and Jorginiho, they rotate their front three alot. its the same defence jsut with chillwell instead

You could be right. If they were at their near best then I would be more optimistic about the final cos we were nowhere near our best !

so it's....not their first 11

 

[City10.]

Says the rag.

You are the rag here

 

[teddypaul]

If there were fans their today they would have turned on the team, that was torture

 

[paulsimpson]

If Pep fucks about again they will

Two defeats will have him thinking he has to do something completely new next time

With our CL team we win it . It wont matter what he thinks or overthinks . The players have the mentality to do it . We know how they will play anyway and for most of the game today we were better with our rearranged team

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

3 or 4 of them second half put in utterly miserable performances.

2-0 at HT, we are probably celebrating right now.

How many fucking warnings did we need down our left hand side, it had been coming for about 20 minutes.

Incredibly frustrating not to get it wrapped up today.

 

[paulchapo]

Taylor was okay. How is he expected to see if there is contact from behind? VAR should have overruled it or ask him to go to monitor.

It looked clumsy and a penalty from his view. He told Sterling it had been checked, no idea who was on var, Stevie fucking Wonder probably.

 

[super_city_si]

Pep certainly knows how to piss on our party.

Hahahahaha, hes done it a couple of time s now

 

[eastmanc]

I don’t know what Pep is thinking, he has seen enough of some of these players to know that they are not good enough. Just pick our best side and get it done for fuck sake.

 

[mancityscot]

2 defeats in a matter of weeks to chelsea, weakened side or not is not the most ideal prep for a CL final against them

 

[Inter Me Nan]

You are the rag here

Course I am.

 

[Gaz76]

For me too many of that team know they’re not playing CL final.
Quality and control shit today.
I think personally the way forward is going to be to make room in the squad for some of the u23 to step up.

I’d say goodbye this summer to:
Mendy, Jesus, Sergio, Torres and sterling

I agree, can see it with the attitude of some of the players, sterlings attitude stinks (he also pissed me off with not shaking azpelaquettas hand, cocky prick) and the likes of cancelo and torres look deflated.
I suppose thats the problem with having a squad of winners, they all want to be in the big seat and when they not their confidence goes off a little.

 

[Scouse Blue]

Genuine question as he was far from worst tonight, but how many times have we lost in the league when Ake has started. Tonight and Leicester for a start?

 

[fareastblue]

If anything that was Pep not wanting Tuchel to get any feel before the final not with 9 absentees

 

[moomba]

Thats pretty much their full strenghth team without Mount and Jorginiho, they rotate their front three alot. its the same defence jsut with chillwell instead

Havertz as well. Their best 3/most in form players.

Today has no bearing on what they'll be like in a few weeks.

 

[Mancity1980]

Jesus christ what am i seeing on here. fucking hell.

"Tuchel has peps number"
"we are going to lose the final"

Get a grip ffs.

Tuchel twice has beaten our SECOND TEAM! not the first one. They are a glorified BURNLEY.

Tuchel has beaten us twice when we have not used the formation that has won us so many games this season, He hasnt come up against a full force Man city yet. 4-3-3 is the formation we are undefeated with in the champions league not this mess we played tonight.

A bernardo and Gundogan midfield changes the whole game. Mahrez changes things also he has their full back on toast we know this. Foden will have Azpilicueta on toast to. Stop panicking over this game.

Watching Chelsea today they are not that good, they are not a PSG or Dortmund. they press yes but if you have press resistant midfielders this game changes, if you have a fluid front three this game changes. we will win the champions league final maybe 2 nil or 3 nil.

Madrid hurt chelsea when modric and Kross were able to get out of the press if they were younger madrid wouldve punished them. we have Gundogan and bernardo two of the best press resistant players in the world to come into this team including KDB. i was worried going into this game thinking chelsea were some amazing team but they struggled against our second team again.

I think this Chelsea team will be our main rival next season particularly if they get Kane or Haaland.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Shockingly bad today, chelsea getting the edge on us
Mendy awful
And sergios pen WTF
FFS

 

[kanovic]

Fuck me. This thread is reaching matchday thread levels of shite. If it gets more posts than the 2nd leg win over PSG thread, then it proves once and for all that this place is infested with rags and pathetic wums.

It’s amazing how it changed from the psg game lmao

 

[Phoenix900000]

He didn't play the fucking kids, pretty much all internationals.

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

 

[M Gaudino]

Could of played a strong team today, wrapped up the league, and then start resting players for the champions league final. Also beat chelsea, and their scrambling for a chumps league spot, and risking their first team players. Absolute stupid team selectiom for so many reasons. As for the pen, with his experience no excuses. Clearly kun as already left.
Stone wall pen at the end on Sterling, var corrupt.

im not sure how people can think theres some corruption when jesus got a penalty for less of a foul that zouma made on sterling.

some you win some you lose deal with it.
