FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

[Shazza458]

I’m happy this season is done
So off it today but it is what it is
4 in a row - history
Pep will be hungry next season, need to experience the lows to make the highs better and all that good stuff
Back the manager with the signings this summer and we go again

 

[Beanhead]

Something I'm taking from today is that Pep will be pissed off and eager to go again.

This is my hope, along with them giving the Ten Bob a lengthy new contract.

Pains me to say it but beaten by the better team on the day. They wanted it more. Have a great summer blues....what a bobbins way to finish the season.

My view on todays disaster,just today not the past year,KDB ,Foden,Haaland,and sorry to Ecclesblue Stones.were awful .Stones not match fit,not his fault.kev And Phil need a long break..Haaland was lathargic,useless first touch,slow in movement and thoughtPep comes out with little credit.

Pep was mad playing Stones. An absolutely crazy decision.

 

[JoeD]

Very rare you can say we were unprofessional, or that virtually every player (Doku accepted) was anonymous or worse. The rags deserved their win for wanting it more than us.

But hey ho, it’s still been a great season and that shit show ain’t gonna spoil it for me.

I said this...

A lot looked post drink lethargic..

I know I've done it.
Spot it a mile away.

Pep should never have let them have 3 days off..
Do your celebrating after the cup final..
Fucks sake your multi millionaires it's not like your missing out on something.

Exactly. I said the same thing but some fans who think our players can do wrong don’t want to hear it.

Great season, but today just didn't feel right, even at 0-0 when 2-3 misplaced passes went straight out for United goal kicks.

The fans were equally flat and guilty of sloppy complacency.

United had a 10-15 minute spell when the diagonal Long Ball behind Gvardiol seemed to leave us vulnerable. However, it's not rocket science and that kind of tactic will occasionally work, especially when City lose the ball in silly positions.

Onwards and upwards

 

[Bill the Blue]

Can't win them all but what a missed opportunity..

Team selection was a bit iffy..

If everyone was fit, except Eddy, I've have played Dias and Akanji at the back along with either Doku or Jack
on the wing..

Hindsight is great but our team selection today was bizarre to say the least..

 

[Innsbruckblue]

Controversial but, for me, time to let KDB, Bernardo and Haaland go. KDB should be replaced by Foden, Silva wants to go anyway, and we just don’t play to Haaland’s strengths. Too many games this season where we’ve carried him. I’m surprised Pep still plays him at times. Don’t get me wrong; I love all three, but I think a serious shake-up is needed. I’d also love to be proven wrong.

I agree… they simply wanted it more.

 

[malg]

I know for a fact from a family member that works there that some city players were pissed as fuck at 5am on Wednesday morning.

Can't do that.

Why not wait until next week??

Arrogant thinking they just had to turn up.

If that's true then I'm surprised. Not good enough

 

[M Gaudino]

I agree… they simply wanted it more.

have to agree. the first goal can be accepted albeit we havent fucked up like that at the back in ages. but the second goal watvhing back now…..jeez it goes out to garnacho and its clearly about to become 4 v 3 at the back and no one is busting to get back. way too easy

 

[Blue tiger]

They performed to their maximum, we performed below par. Got what we deserved. However, would I swap 4 in a row for an FA cup? No chance!!!

Sell the best striker in the world? Not sure about that

Is he really the best striker in the world tho? Even if he is, is he right for us?

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Absolute shit show today but we won 4 in a row and that’s all that matters

I thought the fans were ok until they scored.

Yeah. He seems to have no issues with sentiment throughout a season then makes some weird one off decisions once in a blue moon and today with Stones was one of them. To change both centre halfs was barmy imo, especially Stones who has hardly played for months

Tbf he has previous i.e. Champions League Final against Chelsea.

To be honest Grealish has done absolutely nothing this season to warrant a start over Doku. Doku should have started and we should have had them on the back foot from kick off. Instead we played like a bunch of drunk tortoise. It was too slow and too predictable. 3 shots in the first half was dire. Much better second half when Doku was on.
