SiJ Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Just seems like Pep went into some sort of tactical self indulgence last night. He couldn't just win the game last night; he had to do it with some new, mind blowing formation/tactical set up. No holding midfielder? The man is a genius etc. The fact he thought the Champions League was the time to do it is bordering on full blown narccism. Bonkers when you think about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he knew Chelsea would play so defensive, and so he could play Gundogan as CDM and be ok. The no striker has worked wonders most of the season too. But they lost that match in midfield. Kante dominated, but Fernandinho or Rodri in there would have made it a different game Edited May 30, 2021 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d understand if Aguero was on the way down but he’s apparantly going to Barcelona, so can’t be that bad now. Personally I’d like to see Man City start to decline now and teams like Man Utd and Chelsea kicking city and Liverpool out of touch next season. TBF Aguero does look finished at elite level to me i don’t think KdB crying his eyes out was very helpful for the team because he had to go off.

SiJ Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Can it also be said that, regardless of who won last night, the one winner wasn't football. Two mega wealthy football clubs who tried to destroy this competition a month ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, he was obviously devastated that his injury took him out of impacting the game but how was his reaction any different to that of Thiago who sat with head in hands and shirt pulled up over his face even when they were winning?

The only way is S6 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I thought Rudiger was mom. Won every header & every challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was crying out of disappointment but he should have sucked it up and told the team they could do it without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for Thiago, not sure why you are singling out De Bruyne for essentially the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally hope Liverpool and Man United lose almost every game they play. 2 clubs full of pr1cks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is the main man and they lost. Also a true warrior would have played on. Kell Brook fought on with the same break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Brook fought on with the same break! Comparing boxing and football now, as if that decision worked out well for Brook anyway. Utterly bizarre post. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/soccer-more-time-needed-clarity-144753518.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
