Did i read that right, Baldie won every final we was involved as a manager?

'We' or 'He'? He's won every final with us that he's been involved in (4 League Cups and 1 FA Cup), and only lost one final in his career, from what I can see: the 2010/11 Copa del Rey.

he, he damn autocorrect

What I fail to understand is that you cunts expected to win yesterday when the game title had "+++" this.

You lot are deluded.

So basically, it's Steve from Donny's fault!
Never trust a Yorkshireman.

Yep. Jinxed it before Pep made the squad selection.

We should have won that game even with the selection, Sergio, pen , Taylor etc.

Anyway what i was thinking before the game was that Tuchel has never faced our best team with those chelsea players
so he hasn't seen first hand how his players match up to Kev, Bernie, Mahrez, Phil etc all on the pitch together doing their stuff.

That to me is a major flucking advantage for the CL final and maybe even more important means Pep does not have to think up any surprises
as our best team will be the surprise.

Before the game i was wishing he didnt play our best team for this reason. Now we have got to a furkin CL final we really have to win it. Giving Tuchel a preview of what his defensive set up needs to be in practice would have been a major blunder.

So yeah we shouldn't have lost that game, but the selection was fine.

Apart from the dollop of shit, obviously.

If PeP has any sense in this competition then he will play the same team as he played in the SF .The Chelsea manager will know what to expect IMO.

Yes same team as the SF is mandatory. Any changes or 'over thinking's would be unforgivable.

Yes Chelsea will know what to expect. But there is a big difference between knowing what to expect and actually experiencing it. Chelsea will get one shot at it in the CL final. IMO giving them a dress rehearsal yesterday would only have benefitted them.

Time will tell if I am wrong in thinking that yesterday's match was a dead rubber because the PL title is in the bag so therefore no point in giving Chelsea a dress rehearsal to prepare for opening night.

We all want the best for City and it would be a very dull world without diversity, that includes opinions.

Tuchel will know what to expect yes, but what he still doesn't know is how his players deal with our best team.
Normally PG would have played our strongest team on Sat and get over the line for the PL - there would be no reason not to, apart from keeping Tuchel that little bit in the dark preparing for the final.

I would have done the same thing, it is kind of blindingly obvious as a way of gaining a bit of an edge over chelsea.

I’ll calm down when we beat Newcastle - till then PeP is still in my shit book for playing that team against them .

Beat me to it. The whole world and his dog know the team and the way we will set up for the final as it will be the team from the 2nd leg of the semi so not having this showing our hand bollocks. Expect us to be sorted by Friday and then he can have a pass for the next couple of games

You're right and wrong, it's true everyone knows how we set up but that doesn't mean he'll fully know how to stop us, in theory he'll know, but like anything in life you need the practical side too. It's all theoretical, take nothing for granted, we could get smashed 3 nil in the final. The saving grace, we won't be going in as clear favourite which is a bad omen

Chelsea will do what every other team does , put eleven men in the box and hop , just hope for a lucky breakaway.

Yesterday Villa played with no one at the back against the Rags , ditto for Scouse game. It's shocking the lengths they go to ,to stop playing attacking
football against us.
