Tire?
They didnt even break sweat first half

Wait and see

Zinchenko is not to blame for that goal. All season long, Rodri or Ferna have been in that position to cut out the ball. Giving him a new job in a UCL final was stupid.

Fuck me blues get a grip. The players have underperformed. You can’t solely blame the formation. We have turned 2 games around to get us here. We can do it again.

100% on Guardiola so far and his inexplicable lineup

100%

Spot on. Why does pep not see it

If we can’t hold possession and penetrate with the attacking lineup doesn’t it stand to reason it might be worse with a more defensive one?

 

[BlueBanger]

He's just the usual scapegoat for the usual suspects. Pep going with Rodri or worse Fernie when the other side has midfielders like Kanté, Mount and Jorginho, is nothing short of criminal.

He literally has the worst 1st touch i can remember in our squad. Gets the ball in promising positions only to demolish any chance as soon as he touches it...the cruel irony here is that the man who has been moved to accomodate sterling has one of the best first touches i've ever seen.

Weak man manager not wanting to upset players too much is my best guess!?

Believe that if you want to

I can see why Pep is keeping it the same. If he believes this is the way, you don't give up on little set backs. The spaces will open this half.

 

[Paladin]

I know this is a set of different players, but I hope this doesn't go the same way as the FA Cup game.

 

[brummie blue]

of course not. he will wait for the 60th minute at the earliest when we are 0:2 down.

Pep was crying about 5 subs in the Premier when it was decided not to do it, when he has the chance he doesn't bother

 

[Dr Jacoby]

De Bruyne cannot possibly play any worse
