That wasn't THE title deciding match, it was potentially A title deciding match.Is there any other team in the world that would play such a weakened team in a big title-deciding match a mere 20 days before a cup final?
Maybe it will help to have to keep playing strong teams for every game.
Pep said that it can't be turned off and on and having to play to the maximum intensity for every game will help.
Since Yaya left, Our penalty record has been horrendous. We really need to sort this next season. We have had six different penalty takers this season!
1.Ffs, I wasn’t being literal.A) the keeper doesn’t go into the net with the ball
B) no shit Sherlock, can’t believe Sergio is the only player not to score a penalty, no great player ever missed a penalty, arf.
No bellend plastic wankers will.. city fans won’tGary linker you take a dink and score you look cool, Ian Wright city fans wont have a go at Sergio for that.
They fucking will Ian, they fucking will.
I think the problem is that he didn’t try to score but unfortunately fluff it, he tried to do a stupid party trick to make himself look cool, but fucked it up badly and embarrassingly.A) the keeper doesn’t go into the net with the ball
B) no shit Sherlock, can’t believe Sergio is the only player not to score a penalty, no great player ever missed a penalty, arf.
Chelsea didn't play there best team today. Silva, Chilwell, Kovatic, James, Haverts. They have a very good squad. I think the CL Final will be very close. We have to control their pace up front and then impose ourselves.
It's shocking. This season there are no fan's either to add to the pressure. Other teams fan's think, 1-0 when they get a penalty, ours are just expecting we'll miss. 12 yards, free shot and we shit ourselves.
Not a chance in hell for me. The hunger and desire simply was not there. Tarnished is the word. if he had tried to place a shot or tried to bury it, we would not be talking about it. It was pure arrogance.Aguero will play a big part in the C/L final, make no mistake.
Furthermore he absolutely, unequivocally has earned the right to play in that match.
Ederson would hit it that hard he’d put the keeper in the back of the net or break his hand trying to save it, if he misses it goes into the standIf the keeper saves the penalty and then gets the ball upfield quickly we would be in danger of losing a goal.
Plus the new rules make it harder for keepers to save them! For a man with a meticulous attention to detail, I’m amazed that this area hasn’t been sorted. Surely one of our players can take a penalty and if they miss still have the bottle to take the next one! That one Rodri took the other month was laughable considering who was on the pitch at the time!
Maybe they beat our first team when they get a chance, we'll never know till we try will we.They've beaten our second string - and only just both times
The fact that we haven’t won the league yet will give the players incentive to remain focused. One things for sure we’ll have to be at our very best to beat Chelsea.Maybe it will help to have to keep playing strong teams for every game.
Pep said that it can't be turned off and on and having to play to the maximum intensity for every game will help.
Exactly, seems like Pep has gambled. Hopefully it’ll pay off.Maybe they beat our first team when they get a chance, we'll never know till we try will we.
I agree with you.I didn't realise this thread was a review of Sergio's career and the season as a whole. I thought it was about the 90 minutes this evening. Post-match thread; a thread about the match we just watched.
