FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

[paulchapo]

Tbf mate, a group of City called it on with utd at Harrow and a skirmish took place. One Ciry fan sparked out but these lads were asking for it

That's the game, call it on you take the chance.

Just got home. What a rubbish day

Meh, would have been nice to win it again but it was just one of them days. I cant think of a single ball that fell our way in the 2nd half.

Honestly felt worse after the Cup final defeat to Wigan.

If there was ever a game to show Pep would actually bomb as a national manager, it's been the game today.

Wrong players, wrong set up and he literally stopped in game change of tactics and positions this season. And all this against the team that plays the type of football that has been our kryptonite. He lost us the game pure and simple, like Lyon or Chelsea.

Such an anti-climax to unexpectedly good season and 90+ points tally considering we never reached quality of the last three years.

Forget about Paqueta or Guimaresh, KdB - Haaland axis or Foden playing in between lines, we need another 1-2 Doku-like minions to break quality teams with this kind of a game plan . Arsenal, Real M and now this lot made us looking so impotent with huge help of Pep.

And he needs to do some serious head-scratching about Haaland over summer, he's been a passenger in this kind of games all season.

I said that to myself too. Bad juju!

Me too, it was so 16/17 season.

What happened on Wednesday?

Not seen it reported anywhere.

All tried their best did they then? Not been out on the piss for a week?

Don’t give a fuck how many medals they’ve won, that show today was pure unprofessionalism.

Probably have been on the piss, I would have been if I’d just broke a record for 4 in a row.

The amount this team and management have given us over the past 8/9 years, they can get away with a shite one. You wanna swap with that shite over the road?

Pep's Jumper > Pep, the team, everyone involved at every level of the club

Most annoying thing is that it was completely avoidable. We let those fuckers off the hook. We should have treated it like another league game that we needed to win. Same team as against West Ham wins easily IMO.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

In fairness Pep has said the same himself about his tactics today. He got it wrong.

Regardless of how well Pep does, and the vast vast majority, know he is undoubtedly the best manager ever to manage us, there is nothing wrong with criticising his team selection/tactics etc. It’s a forum after all.

All well and good but, if Erling shoots 2 ft lower and Alvarez scores, as he usually does, we win the game and Pep is a genius. Football is nothing without a bit of jeopardy and, today, we came off second best.
Would I rather be in their position compared to ours? Not in a million fucking years….
