I just feel empty. I'm with a few on here the expectation now is just killing me. Just win the fucker for fucks sake then we can get on with our football without the monkey on our backs.

And yes I know it's not that easy but we have had so many monumental fuck ups now that it's getting boring. Tonight was beyond belief but we should've smashed Chelsea last season. Same old shit different day.

It definitely makes football less enjoyable as an experience, especially when we have a mad 10 minutes like that in us. You just can't relax

100%


Im.gonna go ape for the boys on sunday. There may be a flat atmosphere. I will sing my head iff from minute one. We all know the prem is king.

[Outcast]

Here we go with blaming everyone but ourselves. We should have gone through, guess we celebrated prematurely. Words fail me, just can't get my head around it. How, why?

We're turning into dippers with our quest for this competition, we might have to wait 30 years on this rate.

If we don't get Haaland, the board can fuck off with their high moral bollocks, just fucking pay the fees. Not sure he'll want to join us after this!

The thought of dippers doing all 4......let's hope this lot do them in the final

I hate football, I'm switching to ping-pong

[sheblue]

Let's hope Real can somehow win it now. But I can't see it at a neutral venue, still here's hoping.

Pep has to wipe this asap and get them focused on Newcastle.

[Outcast]

I don't feel too bad about it, I sort of expect us to fuck up in the latter stages of this competition.

It's the hope that kills you, it's like being on death row waiting for your pardon

[Nick]

Positives: love walker and bern. Foden too.

Angry at the rest, inc dias and kdb.

[branny]

Can’t blame Baldie for this - this is down to two cunts - Laporte (again) and Ederson who was very poor for one of those goals .

The 2-1 was largely down to Cancelo to be honest.

He was ball watching and not defending……a useless cunt, many were saying he was class before the match, he is not good enough for our team and never has been.

Exactly. Revolutionary idea for Pep. Play two full backs that can defend in the big games.

[Nick]

The thing is, at best, we buy haaland and no full backs.

Spunking on a completely unnecessary grealush, leaving us with cancelo and zinny stopping crosses in madrid is the big fuck up. We cant keep blagging without a forward and no full backs.

In:

Haaland
Left back
DM
Right back imo

Out:
Sterling
Steffen
Dinho
Do alllll we can for berns bird
Loan delap out

Palmer getting game time above sterling and regular cameos from mcatee

You're right there. I had my stomach in my mouth all game, even though I was thoroughly sedated with alcohol.
Then at 90 minutes I started to relax.

[Original Dub]

Last year's final was on pep.

This year's semi was on the players and game management.

Along with the usual officiating that we're supposed to discount.
This and chances missed are not mutually exclusive.

Next time

[City64]

Gonna hurt for a long time this one .
UEFA and the ref fucked us over big time tonight, Casimero no cards , then only 3 minutes added on time and then blowing up 15 seconds early . Even all journos that fucking hate us calling out the officiating as “very strange “ .
Ultimately our defence fucking bottled it in the final couple of minutes of normal time , well the whole team bottled it in the dying minutes just fucking foul the cunts or hoof the ball upfield or go down and waste time ffs . Game management in the dying minutes fucking diabolical by all CITY players .
I fucking hate this competition it is bent as fuck as clear as day FUCK OFF UEFA .

[Sparklehorse]

Deflated is an understatement, a great effort by the lads until the last couple of minutes, teams do score quick goals late in matches to snatch victory, that hasn’t happened to us for a very long time, we have been outstanding at managing leads and closing out games. The only player that deserves criticism is Cancelo……..their first goal he just watched the ball fly over his head to the player who crossed and made absolutely no effort whatsoever to close him down…..at this level of football and in this kind of match that is unforgivable…..just a fucking passenger and he also gave the ball away many times in that game. I would be happy never to see him wear a City shirt again and if he plays in the run in he will cost us, mark my words. So, we have to get the players inflated again for the run in, not an easy task after tonight. We have four eminently winnable games ahead of us, and if we stop the murdering cunts getting an unthinkable domestic treble and fourfold and we become champions again I for one will be a happy man. My only caveat is to keep Cancelo and Sterling out of our team for those games, if Pep cannot see that himself, I worry about him.
Come on the Blues you simply have to do it !!!!

[dazby]

We got 93:20'd.

[Mase]

Haven’t slept this bad in a long time and I’ve got an 8 week old newborn!

I think it feels worse because of Liverpool. They’re pure fuckin poison.

I know how you feel I had So called mates who are Liverpool fans gloating because we lost I just deleted them .

[johnny crossan]

Never have a better chance, for some their last.
Fans likewise, hurts so much this one.

[Hazy2]

Could be our season done.

[sheblue]

Could be our season done.

Hopefully not.
We have done very well to get this far without a proper striker.
We can win our last 4 games.

[PeterParker]

There are a lot of feelings at the moment after last night, but oddly enough, I can't seem to be as devastated as I was last year vs Chelsea.

The thing is:
- I somewhat expected this after the first leg and after how we came back from the winter break. We were off, losing pace and power, like many mentioned here before. I think we looked like construction of cards waiting to fall because, let's me honest, we had our shares of fuckups, but we dodged them.

- I think and I have to admit, I was afraid of a final versus the Murdering Dippers. Gotta let my head down and admit that losing the final versus them would be my worse nightmare as a City fan, will top it even vs the rags. If this would have happened in the final, I think I would have been done with football.

- Near the start of the season, many pointed out that our lack of a finisher, of a poacher, will come and bite us at a key moment this season. I am just baffled how people from a forum can see this, while our board/staff can't.

- Pep and the staff are too sentimental and loyal to players. I understand it, I believe in loyalty and I think it's an important value to have, but the reason this happens so often is because we refuse to sell our deadwood. You know the usual suspects, I won't go again who they are. But imagine the rest working one year and then someone who you know will do something will take a piss on everything you did.

- As mentioned, stop fucking around with WE ARE A NICE club mentality. Money talks, we have them, use them right behind the doors.

- The ref did his job, as expected. But, 100% he did it because we allowed him to do it.

It will be a miracle if we win the league, we are losing blood and the dippers hounds will go for our necks, but looks more likely we will finish this year with no trophies.
