***City v Palace FA Cup Final Official Match Thread***

[PeterParker]

Change a fucking player you arrogant bald cunt!

[zabbadabbado]

70 minutes he has sat there watching this shit in a Cup Final with no changes

[s1ty m]

70 minutes and this bloke makes zero changes. Fuck off, mate. Terrible game management. Terrible.

[Mase]

Mental isn't it. Look at the last four or five posts on here and we all can see the same. But Pep cant

[mr_nool]

I am not paid 20 mil to rethink our plan, mate.
I am saying we've become too predictable. It is not ok for me to stick with a principle just to prove a point, when it's clear that even Leyton Orient has a plan to stop it.

I hear what you're saying mate, but we used to be able or have good discussions and debates on here, but now a days it's just about who screams the loudest and comes with the most ludicrous Pep insults. I'm also far from happy with this season, but I'm still trying to see the big picture.

Nool, every time someone criticises Pep it's "WELL WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!!!" We're not managers and we're not paid to do his job. It's up to him to come up with a Plan B for when teams like palace sit and counter us.

This isn't anything new, we've seen it creeping in for 2 season now, where teams have figured us out and we have no answer. We can't just carry on going back to the boyfriend that leathers the fuck out of us

I don't think he's perfect. I think he's made plenty of mistakes this season (and in seasons past). But I don't think he's a fraud, I don't think he's over the hill, I don't think he's been found out, I don't think he's weak or a coward, and I don't think he's a muppet.

I'd be very happy to have a good discussion about our shortcomings this season, but lately there's just histrionics on here. I find it extremely tiring and off-putting. That's why I usually stay away. I made an exception today, but won't shut up when I see stupid, totally over the top white spouted.

I think the tiki-taka is not working anymore, we failed to adapt it since our treble, we brought the wrong players and most of all, I think we have a backroom staff that does not improve players. Doku, Savinho are players who can be deadly near the box, but they look clueless there instead.

I think we are at the end of a cycle, I think Pep's football is at an end because of his inability to change it.
And I am furious because I think he doesn't want to change it.

Tiki-taka as a style of football is finished as far as dominating games goes.

Sadly though our manager thinks that it still works and more worryingly, thinks we have the players to make it work. We’ve had our time in the sun and it’s very rapidly setting

It is disgusting management. Bloke is becoming a bit weird.

Fans like Nool would forgive any shit football pep has us playing as he won trophies in the past - they constantly make excuses for him and would forgive him anything....the cunt is paid 25 million a year and we owe him nothing !! he is paid to make football decisions and the last 2 games hes embarrassed himself and us by playing a team that defies any logic......we are heading for a loss against fuckign palace and we have to win our last 2 games to ensure CL QUALIFICATION.

[Sparklehorse]

We’re behind with 70 odd minutes of dross and still Pep’s happy wtaf !!!!!!!!!!

I think this tiki-taka Is finish, Spain or PSG managed to adapt it because they know how to see the bigger picture.

[Mase]

Savio just dives and moans. Not a City player. Fuck him off

[nottsblue]

O’Reilly really should have scored there. At the very least got off a shot

[Mase]

15 mins to go no changes.....

I think we needed to postpone the very needed rebuild in order to get the (historical) fourth title on the two last season. We could/should have tarted it sooner, but we'd likely missed out on making history, so we're paying for it now.

We already have brought in a lot of new, young players. More are coming in the summer and the oldies are getting dumped. I think we will be alright.

Poor from him

[PeterParker]

72 minute and he walks around.
Insanity.

[dave watson's perm]

Echeverri to score the winner

[john@staustell]

Terrible miss O'Reilly

[Mase]
