It is disappointing, but we had to keep faith in the squad and rotation. It served us well this season and we might have suffered somewhere else if we hadn't done it. Unfortunately, the changes Pep made were not quite right. We looked to match them with the two deeper lying players but too many had off days and De Bruyne's injury was a key factor. We sent Foden on but if we had have kept De Bruyne on with him I think we'd have found a goal.
Considering how intense this season has been, three trophies is still impressive.
Also, think of it this way - someone has already won the league, FA Cup and CL in the same season. No one has won the league, league cup and CL in the same season. So technically it's a harder treble to win! The same as the domestic treble!
This City side could have won the treble but, in going for the league cup too, I think something was always going to give. Let's just hope that the FA Cup semi final disappointment is a reminder of how one bad game at this level can crush dreams. The fact it was against Chelsea can spur us on for revenge in the CL final. We'd rather win the CL than the FA Cup in my opinion, and the same is true for Chelsea.
