It's the way the human brain works. In bad times the adrenaline starts pumping and we get alert and excited in order to improve odds of survival. In good times we relax and save energy. ;)

Pep change the system, played with 3 CBs and lost the game.

Happy for him to rest a load today in a game that won't matter after an intense midweek game. Why risk it? De bruyne had ice on his knee the other day. And even so we probably should have won, but we didn't, and so what? No qualms from me
Now if he plays that team in the European Cup final... (haha)

Pep has put huge pressure on himself, he either wins the European Cup or Tuchel has beaten him 3 times in a month.
Now with this fuckin government intervening in footballing matters, Wembley may now be the host venue, and for some strange reason I don’t fancy our chances. City should argue this favours Chelsea and ask for a more neutral venue, either way what a shit day to round off the weekend

People are quick to criticise as anger and frustration kicks in,and slow to praise as contentment doesn't necessitate or demand the same response.
Alcohol won't help,with many,either!
Pep has done wonders this season. Hope we win a treble.
Think Pep was right to give a chance to the squad players to contribute more to this great season. We wouldn't be in this fantastic position without them, especially without the likes of Cancelo, Laporte, Jesus and Sterling, Torres as well. At the same time, Pep went over the top by playing a formation with a make-shift midfield, which didn't really help the squad players to show their best. That experimental formation was due to Pep's desire to include all of Ake, Mendy, Torres and Aguero. To play with just one proper midfielder against a CL finalist was disrespectful both to the opposition and to our own players. The same holds for Aguero's penalty who double downed on the piss taking.
One can learn more from losses than from wins. Pep wouldn't be a great manager if he didn't try strange formations and tactics. Not being afraid of failure is key to success. Both he and Aguero made mistakes yesterday. Fortunately, they weren't decisive in the context of the season. Maybe United weren't going to win over 80 pts anyway and the title was already won.

Haha! Limping to the title! Aww what a fucking nightmare that must be for you.Tonight was the night. Limping to the title now.
I can understand everything, but was angry when saw his reaction after the game was lost..
If you want to win and are such nervous about it - play your best team and system FFS..
Otherwise stay calm and admit that this game from the beginning was meant to be lost
You are playing with Mendy, only 1 midfielder, 4 out of form attackers, formation which you haven't used for your entire career until today - against a CL finalist and still want to win ? There is exact correlation between Aguero`s penalty and Pep`s decisions for that game -> simple as that. At least Aguero understood it and apologized..

Well we're not exactly storming to it.Haha! Limping to the title! Aww what a fucking nightmare that must be for you.
Wonder would he have put out that starting 11 if the ground was full. Not everyone thinks Pep is beyond criticism.
