I'll add, Mendy would struggle at Rotherham. What a terrible player, terrible.

I feel depressed. Utter shambles from start to finish. More heartache to follow on 29th May

It doesn't feel great eh? Mentally we have a fucking mountain to climb now losing two on the row to them. I'd rather have Real Madrid than them currently.

Do you really think the likes of Cancelo, Stones, Gundogan, Silva, DeBryune, Foden and Mahrez mentally feel that Chelsea are better than them. Dias, Ederson, Zinc and Fernandinho will also not feel it when surrounded by the better players.

Twice Chelsea have played us with their best team. The team and tactics that they will use in the final and just about beat our reserves playing completely different tactics. They have no clue what it is like to play the team that embarrassed PSG. They are completely in the dark.

Yeah, psychology where does this leave us? Our biggest flaw has always been the mentality of the players and this will have hit them hard in my humble opinion. PS Rodri and Laporte are just as fucking shite as Mendy and Sterling.

Will it fuck. Everyone in our squad knows that that was our second string that just (narrowly) lost

Tonights game should have been a true dress rehearsal bar fern not starting. All this show them our hand bollocks. They know what team we are going to play. We should have done that tonight beat them, bagged the Prem and show them whats to come on our biggest night.

We didn't, pep tinkered we fucked up. Sad thing is Utd have three games in five days and surly they will fuck one up or win the lot and put pressure on us.

i blame the + in the title of this thread

Time to wrap Fernandinho up in cotton wool for the final. Rodri plays and we’re fucked.

Their best player wasn’t on the pitch today.

[Blue In Bolton]

Mendy should never wear the shirt again - absolute shite and bone idle to boot. Always looked vulnerable down the left-hand side and why it took 80 minutes for Pep to see that God only knows.
Have a slight degree of sympathy for Rodri as he had fuck all support in midfield tonight but to lose the ball like he did for their first goal was stupid beyond belief.

Don't get me started on "Alty" Taylor. Fucking Charlatan of the highest order and needs investigating for his always biased handling of any fixture we play in.
Pep needs to highlight this a la Whiskey Nose style.

Either was our best 11 (bar Dias)

They were all over us and the score line flattered us big time. It doesn’t matter whether it was the 2nd team they have the physiological advantage going into the final. We’ve been here in the past with the scum and the scousers.

Agreed and in both games recently City were just going through the motions , except for Sergio's fcuk up.

[sheblue]

Time to wrap Fernandinho up in cotton wool for the final. Rodri plays and we’re fucked.

In the first game against PSG he was awful. Technically poor in tight situations gave the ball away time and time again. Ok for games against average PL sides, where he doesn't get found out.
If Fern goes we will need a holding midfielder in the summer.

[Harry Dowd scored]

What a team. I’m so so so happy. You wouldn’t believe

I don’t, that team has probably never played as a unit together, I fully expect a repeat of cup semi, handing a psychological advantage to the chavs, I don’t buy this giving away how we play talk, fucking Chelsea know who we are and how we play, we could have played a strong team, that team at best is unbalanced and probably lacking in cohesion, prepare for a post match inquest

This is my post pre match, you see when you have been watching football since 1965 you have a good idea how it works, and It Doesn’t work by making nine changes to a winning team, that Chelsea team have now got a mental advantage, they will think, rightly they have beaten us twice on the trot, anyway fuck that what about us fans all fucked off again, fuck off Pep you just do not get it do you

[Nigels Tackle]

I'll add, Mendy would struggle at Rotherham. What a terrible player, terrible.

would even be allowed into one of their grooming gangs

only you guys.

I am not worried at all , i hope we go for as many as possible, Leicester will beat them in the Cup Final next week too. Probably the Arse will take a point on Wednesday. I still reckon Tuchel will be gone by Christmas.

He has a big part in my book of our fuck up last year. He played in the middle while Fern was CB, but he can't defend or break an attack with a smart fault or push the opponents on the side like Fern usual does.
He doesn't have the mind for it.

I am really blown away we won so much with so many mediocre players.
People are shouting about our money, but almost half of our team is filled with pub players.

[Crossie]

Apparently the league is the one Pep wants to win the most. BULLSHIT DICKHEAD.

It’s fine it’s fine but that was not a performance from any player who wants to play in the champs league final or in the match that wins us the league. Bottlers, absolutely fuming we’ve delayed the league win another week. Fucking rap it up, practice how to beat them, keep them down, if the first 11 struggles then you’ve got another game to get it right.

[dave watson's perm]

Really not bothered. Pep has learned a lot more about them than they have of us in the last 2 games. Our only big game left this season is the final.

Also makes Liverpools chances of top 4 less likely

A FUCKING MEN

Yeah right enough, let's worry more about a team struggling to get 6th

[johnny crossan]

Pep says it was a penalty
