Not sure what that starting 11 was set up to do. Not sure they knew either.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Less said the better but that decision at the end is disgraceful.

 

[cookster]

3-1 flattered us.
Another pasting when faced with a decent team.

 

[Daniel1980]

Hate this competition anyway, another 1 sawn up for Real, boring. Back to proper football Sunday, CTID

 

[69FACUPfinal]

mainly on Pep, picked a midfiled that offered no threat, and who was.playing 9 or false 9?

however that team showed a lack of effort once the first went in

All this and more.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Totally expected.
Thank fuck i don’t have to pay anymore money for that shite competition.

Gundogan, Bernardo in our starting eleven 2025.

You know what? 3-1 wasn’t that bad a result. Should’ve been 3-2 if VAR would’ve done its job and checked for a penalty at the end too.

A few positives - mainly Khusanov and a first goal for Nico.

They’re better than us. Which is fine. But we kept playing and put them on the back foot for the last 25 minutes I thought. Played with a lot of personality. IMO anyway.

Onto the FA Cup and the top 4 charge.

Put them on the back foot because the game was done. They knew we were no threat and they phoned it in for the last 20 minutes. That's all that happened.

 

[lancs blue]

Khusanov the bright spot in an otherwise timid performance. 4 or 5 signings needed in the summer reset.

I won’t lose any sleep tonight.

We were never going to win it this season.

A CL place and win the FA Cup.

Season over.

 

[.db.]

Played like they didn’t fancy any further games in this comp this season.

We didn’t really even deserve to be given this Gutter Round to get the chance for any more games: 22nd best team in Europe, we were out after the 3-0 > 3-3 capitulation against Feyenoord.

Too many injuries, too many old men, too many young lads, too few players bang in their prime and fit anymore.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Serious questions should be asked about Pep for that starting line up.

I agree but it was very similar to the team that started against Newcastle.

 

[Damien10]

We are now left to wonder what Pep will do against Liverpool.

Will it be genius or will it be a brain fart.

 

[RegisteredToSeePhotos]

Poor but expected. Went into it with no hope or expectation so not surprised or that bothered to be honest.

They're miles better than us or anyone in England for that matter, they could win it again.

Transition season, get top 4 secured and shithouse an FA Cup.

I don't agree that they're miles better than anyone in England. The Dippers and Villa would and maybe will give them a game if and when they meet.

 

[MMA]

When do we start talking about Pep?

Your not allowed..
;-)

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Rubbish

We don’t deserve to be in Champions league not this year or next

 

[roubaixtuesday]

6-3 on aggregate, but four of their goals absolute gifts, so really we won 3-2.

Right, off home on my rainbow unicorn now.

Madrid v City heat map

 

[ctwrd]

When do we start talking about Pep?

What you are saying is that one off season and the manager should be sacked. 4 in a row. One off season not allowed get him sacked. Pathetic

 

[Mike N]

We’ve been well beaten by the best team in the world.

Idiots saying we didn’t put any effort in. Jesus Christ.
