FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

[Gundoggin]

Piss poor we got what we deserved. Big summer window ahead probably our most important in years .

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Why no jack today ?

Really surprised he didn’t start especially if he played stones who’s way off being match ready

I would have played him today instead of Bernie

 

[Blue Calx]

Over it already.

What a team 4 premier league titles on the bounce.

We have struggled against very defensive teams with every player behind the ball. Normally we find away to win, Normally we don't give silly goals away. Perhaps it was one game to far, thankfully it was the Cup and not the league.

That silly first goal gave the rags something to hang onto.

I was in a pub but what was the reason for the non penalty against Haaland when he was wrestled to the ground ?

Shithousery from the off

Well done Pep and the boys

Let’s save the brain fart and the car crash performances all round for today of all days

Typical city will never go away

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Well what as all that about?

Don’t like to criticise but that was pretty shocking

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

The overconfidence was pathetic. We got done. Could see it coming

what has cancelo got to do with walker being dusted?

Walker can’t defend. Nor can Cancelo.

Btw Walker had two great shots on goal. At least he tried …

Saw a 4yr old on the news last night from Gaza. He lost his parents in a missile strike & then a couple of weeks later another strike took his legs. This kid was tearing around in his wheelchair with a big smile on his face, if a child can deal with proper adversity I'm sure losing a football match pales in significance.

With that performance we would have lost to Coventy.

May be, but that would be better than those c**ts we played today ;-)

I'm getting pissed off with Haaland throwing himself to the ground looking for free kicks when someone puts an arm round. With his size he shouldnt be bullied and be able to force his strength on them. Fantastic goal scorer but needs to cut that element out of his game

Rag go home..

 

[City Man]

Let the Cunts have the FA Fuckin Cup because they’ll never win 4 in a rowwww

Or even one in a row.

 

[manimanc]

There's two or three on here that won't think so. You can't win on here.

Fuck em mate.

 

[Bluearmy]

Played into their hands completely. Picked the wrong team (centre halfs) and pushed foden to the left and on top of that no one played well first half, like they were all hungover from Wednesday night still….

Similar to Porto in that Pep got it wrong again in a final. Frustrating.

Better after an hour (but the game was gone by then) and doku was decent but other than that lacklustre to say the least!!

What a waste

 

[lazerblue]

watch foden and kovacic for the second goal, they just couldn't be arsed to go with fernandez

 

[robbieh]

why?

Achieving history last weekend will have been such a huge relief after all the pressure of the previous 2 months. It may just taken the edge off the players' desire. Only a theory.

I thought winning the treble might have had a similar effect on this season as a whole but it didn't although we never quite hit the heights of 22/23.

Baffled by that

 

[manimanc]

Four titles in a row any fan would settle for the scum beating us in an fa cup final if they offered us that!

Let the midtable team who worked harder parked the bus harder hoofed the ball harder and got there goals at the right time!

Bang on mate

 

[Gordyola]

Didn’t get the Ake substitution at half-time, he was the only defender who didn’t make a mistake. To be fair, we didn’t do enough

Agreed shouldn’t have taken sleepy Kyle off put Akanji at right back

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I'm not suggesting we deserved anything today but that non penalty for the Haaland being judo thrown incident now looks like a big call...

Also, given how shit we were on the day basically they've won that by the margin of a comedy (might as well have been) own goal...

Can't win them all...

The first one with Martinez just straight-up putting his shoulder in Haaland's back with zero intent to play the ball was far more egregious IMO, and that's saying something.

 

[blue by birth]

Two of our best players this season caused this defeat

Bad pass from Rodri followed by another bad decision from Gvardiol caused the 1st goal


What really bother me is when KDB is off we struggle

Even if he is having bad game , he has the ability to save the team with magical moments

That was on Ortega mate..what the fuck was he doing???
He didn't shout so Gvardiol did what he had to and headed it back to Ortega..what else could he have done..he had munch chasing the ball so headed to where Ortega should have been..if Ortega had shouted he could have done something else
