He probably didn't. If this was the champions league final today it would have been taken a lot more seriously by Pep and the players. Certainly nobody on the piss for 48 hours only 5 days ago, if rumours are true. The fa cup final, even a derby, is not a dig deal to the professionals anymore, especially in the wake of the treble and a record breaking 4th consecutive Premier league title.Looked like he couldn't give a shit.

Wasn't the only one to blameAgreed but didn’t have a role in their 2nd goal
Well played Doku - head and shoulders motm - thought the only player of any note prior to Doku being introduced was Kovacic - the rest were sluggish at best
No idea why pep played a formation that completely helped United to give up the width going forward and leave a back three with space out wide completely pandered to Uniteds only strength

The problem was a lack of width - Gvardiol and Bernado were bringing the ball inside and running into traffic as it was so congested…. All United had to do was wait for the turnover and hit a diagonal ball into the city full back spaces - really piss poor not to change it after 30 minsThey did but when teams do that there should always be someone else free but we never found them. Our play was quite slow, until Doku came on.
Doku and/or Grealish on would have given us more space and allowed us possession much higher - as seen when Doku did eventually come on

Can't believe that, massive world wide audience to show the world your skills, surely any pro wants to win medals.He probably didn't.

They achieved the hardest part in securing the league title but took the wrong option in overcelebrating early.Doku.. possibly Kovacic . at a push.. the only two who shouldn’t be ashamed tonight
The question should be, why were they so unprepared physically and mentally

Couldn’t this also just be mental fatigue that spills over physically? It’s been an absolutely grueling end of season with immense pressure. We saw it to some degree with Leverkuesen.They achieved the hardest part in securing the league title but took the wrong option in overcelebrating early.
There is that as well we but our players were still spotted on the lash on Wednesday which would have been totally understandble if we had no important game on Saturday.Couldn’t this also just be mental fatigue that spills over physically?

I guess I keep hearing references about this from “someone who knows.” But the reality was they were also all in practice on Wednesday. Pep doesn’t seem like the type to let or fly if they were all hungover. I’m just a bit skeptical of this narrative.There is that as well we but our players were still spotted on the lash on Wednesday which would have been totally understandble if we had no important game on Saturday.

Same here. I have reservations about these ‘reports’. We all know that the way the media treats us they would have pounced on any ‘misbehaviour’ and splashed it across the front pages.I guess I keep hearing references about this from “someone who knows.” But the reality was they were also all in practice on Wednesday.

@jimharri kindly pointed me in the direction of a posting in another thread
Friend of mine saw them with his own eyes at 3am, seen the photos. Another blue on here, his family member was serving them til 5am
however I’m still not convinced that they were. But we’ll never know the true story. Pep isn’t the kind of manager to let it happen as you say.
c’est la vie. Rumours, rumours and damn lies to misquote Mark Twain.
