5-3 with seconds left and it’s Pep’s fault? OK

Did really well in the CL but fucked the game management up in the last ten mins.
Let's not overreact. Im embarrassed as anyone but we played a really good game over 2 legs other than that.
Not sure Sterling has a future with us anymore or that he was ever really good enough. We've been short on the wing since Sane left.
Need 2 strikers not 1 and need a replacement for Dino.
We're good other than that.
Let's hope we can go on and win the league now.
I agree with most of your post but the Raz blame is bizarre.. blaming Sterling for not turning the tie back in our favour after we mismanaged a given is wholeheartedly unfair. He wasn’t even on the pitch when we blew it.

Eddy for me has been a concern. I have voiced to many. He rarely saves much really..good at chipping to a full back..hes not commanding...looks nervous at crosses. 1 v 1 's ill stop there. Love a non goalie union fella to tell me different.. what he has got..balls of steel and determination that drive to be a 1st team goalie..amazingIt’s not just this game though, it doesn’t cope with pressure and never really has. Also, Eddy is starting to cause concern.

This just hurts. Somehow more than the final last year.
Reffing was awful. But we put ourselves in a position to have to complain about that. Refs didn't score 2 soft goals in stoppage time, or concede 3 at home.
Defence just sold us late in the game. They were perfect for so long and it just collapsed at the death.
I'm not singling out anyone or blaming anyone in particular because it's easy to overreact in the face of something like this but wow this sucks
Lastly, shoutout to Jack Grealish, playing possessed from when he came on. He looked like he was prepared to die, and a goal line clearance is the difference between this result and him becoming an overnight hero.
I've said this before and I truly mean it. No matter how much UCL failures hurt (and fuck, they really hurt) this is bonus territory for me because we were never supposed to be here. And im never going to demand sweeping changes as a result of it. We are still favourites for the league and we likely have Haaland coming in next season.
It's a knockout tournament, shit happens. I wish there was a better explanation, but there is no correlation with our UCL exits. We just find new and exciting ways to fuck up.
CTID. And they're definitely trying to kill me

De Gea is a better shot stopper no question. But to think he'd have saved us at Eddie's expense is a poor excuse. Ederson every single time over the Alpaca doughnut thief.Eddie is here more for his ability to.plsy the ball out, especially under pressure. I'd say De Gea is a better shot stopper though.

Of course it is a contributing factor, but we’ve got a defence that regularly buckles when it is put under pressure. For the money spent it should be rock solid and it is definitely not!Do you not think the lack of concentration and game management was a team effort?
Ok, if he plays like he did for the first 89 minutes he won’t touch the ballHe still made one and scored one

I didn't say it's on Pep, I said he was fucked!Pep is so far from fucked it’s untrue. He had us set up to win it and we almost did. We outplayed them at home missed so many chances and gave away 2 awful goals. Not on Pep. Away from home we were leading 5-3 in the 90th minute and we had the biggest meltdown since Birmingham away in 1998. Players let themselves down, not Pep.
This will hurt Pep as he played it right but our players forgot to play for 7 minutes.
