FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

[SWPISHOME]

It was a strange performance!

Not like us at all not to create overloads in wide areas, We seemed happy to use Gvardiol and Walker high and wide in the first half and nobody overlapping...

Second half was the same with Doku, He had to conjure up opportunities by himself, He was outstanding when he came on although very little support.

I don't know why we kept trying to pursue joy through the middle...

The goals we conceded were so avoidable which is the frustrating part, Then again we miss big opportunities with Haaland and Alvarez...Unfortunately today of all days we turn up like we did!

Onwards and Upwards, Premier League Champions and 4-In-A-Row so we can't carry on like little bitches...We take it on the chin and we move on.

MCFC OK

Fucking ridiculous post, load of bollocks.

in your opinion.

The early season faults reared its head again in the first half. Side with packed defence, pinches the ball off us, go long and catch us on the break.
Not many players deserve any credit for today, but hey, 4 in a row aint bad

Say what you like, weirdly, they beat both us and Liverpool on their way to winning that thing — both, teams that are vastly superior to them in all parts of the pitch. Cup football, eh?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Yes. Both.

Has anyone got decent vids of them, not seen them properly yet since game.

Is it an established fact that they didn’t return to training until Thursday or just tittle tattle?

The one on Haaland was blatant.

if you mean falling when a 5 foot six stringbean put his hand on you. He was shit today, along with everyone else. But, im just effing angry, cos i hate the scum. Onwards.

Win or lose, it doesn't make the journey home from Wembley any quicker or slower.

Today pretty well summed up our season in many ways. Pedestrian build up, no movement, even being brainless at times. It was like watching a Subbuteo game. One player moving with the ball while the rest stopped still. Where is the incisive movement, the runs into the half channels? When Doku was on the balk, another player came over to double up with his marker. That left a gap in what used to be called the inside left channel for a City player to go into but no one moved for him and he had to do it all himself. Where was the movement and passing that led to Sané scoring that incredible goal at Arsenal? Where's the dynamism gone? I struggle to see how we won the title sometimes.

KDB has been a shadow of the player he was. Bernardo has been very pedestrian moat of the season Foden has carried us but had a very poor game today. And unless we were trying to help Poundland Pep keep his job, why start a very rusty Ake & Stones in a final? Haaland's technique, or lack of it, pisses me off, as well as his propensity to stroll around and exhibit no urgency to close down. You do wonder if too many players have become too complacent. Pep needs to look everyone in the eye this summer and decide if they've got the fight in them.

Spot on Colin it had to be said and hopefully Pep knows

Trained Wednesday I think.

KDB Rodri Silva Foden Walker Gvardiol Ortega all absolutely fucking dog shit today. we paid hard earned bloody money to go and watch thode over privileged multi millionaires not give a fuck. I mean, they were on for an unprecedented double double and put in a performance like that. WTF? Was they all out on the piss all week? Certainly looked like it. Imagine a boxer in his training programme doing that. And as for Pep pushing the sabotage button yet again in a big final, wtf? Dias and Akanji for several weeks. Then drops them both to bring in Stonesy, who’s not played for two months, and Ake, who’s been suffering with niggling injuries. Both great when they’re fully fit and match ready. But not today. Our defence was shambolic. Reducing Gvardiol and Ortega to look like they’ve never met their team mates before. And with Walker doing his utmost to give away a goal. I’m livid that we’ve lost to the worst utd team in donkeys years. But take nothing away from them today, they fully deserved it with their effort and set up. Kudos. They should hang their heads in shame and pay back all the fans that paid out to travel their today as an apology.

Grow a fucking set.

The players had an off day, It's allowed. It's just unfortunate that it had to be today of all days!

What do you want a refund everytime we don't turn up to the potential that we normally reach? Very rare you see a Pep City side like today...You need to take it on the chin!

Thus manager and group of players have given us our best ever years, Days we will never ever forget, You'll let today spoil all that on you?? They are humans, Not robots.

Don't be a entitled twat, There's a reason we hate the Rags and it's like posts like you've just posted that are normally associated with the Rags...

We got beaten, Keep the chin up and be proud as fuck with 4 in a row!
