I do hope Pep and co have taken this a bit more seriously than the FA Cup final, for the sake of the fans that have made the effort (and paid the expense) to get down for the match.

I personally don’t care if we lose this (it’s usually a good omen when we do), I only really care that we put in a good performance worthy of the spectacle and fan sacrifice to attend, which has become more substantial in recent years.

That said, I hope we hammer the bastards, with our kids scoring all of the goals.

We know Pep is going to use this to take another look at the younger players and decide who stays with the squad and who doesn't,maybe decide what he still needs.Also get a few minutes into those that haven't played, the result is secondry. Everyone that bought tickets should know that as well, they only need to look at the last 3 CS games.

Of course, hence why I only care about the performance, as any fan should, which is independent of which players Pep selects to start.

Fans travelling hours, and likely spending hundreds (or more) to see the team play are perfectly within their rights to expect a committed performance—that honours their efforts to support the club—from whichever City team takes to the pitch later.

Eh? Of course we took the cup final “seriously”. We just didn’t play well. Today is just a fitness run out for the available players

I don’t think we did take it as seriously as we should have. If we had, the celebrations after the league win would have been postponed until after the final.

At any rate, I care about the performance, not the result. As long as the players put in a committed shift that honours the fans efforts to support them, I will be happy.
