Game raisers or just really poor against defensive sides?
You’re kidding right? I said he looks like he got it wrong, and I want them to lose.
But comparing him to Ole is hilarious still. One is proving himself at the highest level still, and hopefully he will do so, and the other is known to be world class with a record to back it up.
Yeap very enjoyable.
Great pass by mount for the Chelsea goal, that Chelsea number 11 Werner has been awful in front of goal, ain't he?
It isn't just kante. I can't spell his name, but we have noone in our team like the guy beside him that can just keep recycling and maintaining the ball like he does. They work great as a pair.
City has only won once under Pep when trailing at half time, and once in the last 110 games or thereabouts.
That's shocking
Don't sit back for 45 minutes Chelski.. please
Since when is the guy losing in the champions league final a “a flop of a coach/manager”? Come on, let’s not get carried away. He’s obviously a top, top coach.
Will let you off.
It's been a gruelling afternoon arguing with some right fan boys on other threads.
Comparing to Ole record v record of course is silly.
But i think the guy was just saying imagine the stick Ole would have got for a weird tactical decision. Pep shouldn't be above reproach because he's won a lot.
Does Ole pay you rent for living in your head?
It's on YouTube, BT SportRiver anyone?
Such a good player and most likely be Chelsea captain in a few years, he's still only 22. Not much more he can do to prove himself than to do in the CL final.
Did Werner go off for Pulisic? Because that’s what I would do...
Crazy decision by Pep not to make any changes at HT.
Gundogan is never a DM and this false nine that they are playing isn’t working.

But how many times have they been behind at half time?
That's a surprising stat.
I'd imagine it's not that bad if it was games they'd trailed in (at any time)?
I don't know if anyone talked about it yet. How comes Silva just sat there looking like someone died when everyone was jumping around when they scored?
Pretty odd.
Pretty odd.
Fair enough. I think it's him or walker starting for what it's worth. They are the most complete players.
So while I say walker and TAA as back up on the bench, James would be my backup starter if you get me.
I didn't have the motivation to care about this final. Losing an European final just a few days ago, along with watching our closest rivals sweep all trophies in the last few years since we have won one, has been deflating. But watching this game, my gut is naturally wanting Chelsea to win. It's much less of a blow than our cross-town rivals winning it on top of the great season they've already had.
I'd say we're more the opposite if anything... Shitting the bed in games we should win.
Well they’ve both won the league, Mancini added an FA cup and Pelligrini won them the league cup twice.
what’s Pep done so far other than have a higher points total - which ultimately means nothing, winning is winning and losing is losing?
Game raisers, the attitude is totally different when we play the bigger teams it doesn't matter how they play themselves we tend to match their level. Also Ole tends to be more creative, adventurous in his decisions. I think that we play with the mentality that we have nothing to lose.
To be fair they did spend £240mil On first teamers & got Thiago in the summer. I wish we'd done the same.
Despite Chelsea being the obvious better side, bt spent the entire half wanking over city.
This game is made for Pulisic
Now that is a stat line!
And the pre match.
Yeah they’re both very good just what you see as a manager I like the composure of James more than the driving runs of Walker..
Maybe, it always seems ignored but maybe I'm just not seeing it all, I don't go on social media for a start.
I will lose my mind if he scores the winner / the one that puts the game away.
See reply to other touchy poster
We should never have let Kante go to Chelsea. There’s no way Sir Alex would have no signed him for us.
How is de Bruynes beard so shitty?
We still need to sell some players to match their gross spend. In terms of net, we are still higher than them in the past three seasons.
That would be a good point if we were "shitting the bed" regularly which we don't, we tend to beat the team that we are supposed to beat with exceptions but that's true for all teams. On the other hand we have mainly raised our game against in form teams or big teams, it doesn't mean that we always win but our performances are generally better.
See, maybe that's what I was expecting a bit more of from him, as I said I haven't seen him that much. Maybe he's similar to Shaw more than anyone else
