(y) Fair play to you & thanks. Was Pep too confident or too clever?

The whole back 5 was immense, especially Christensen when he came on. Kante is something else.

As others have said, the referee was excellent.

Pointless fact of the day; 71% of the world is covered by water, the rest is covered by Ngolo Kante. Right, off to the scotch cupboard.

Watched it at daughters what with them having BT. I said I don’t mind if City get beat as long as we play well. We didn’t. If I had a penny for every person that said to me we will walk. Quite frankly I found it a bit irritating and disrespectful to Chelsea. We’re CIty favourites. Probably, but so were Utd. I thought Chelsea to a man were immense. But City starting with Sterling, sweet mother don’t get me started. I don’t want to focus on City coz Chelsea should of been outta sight before a small late rally last off. Only the blinkered would say City should of had summat outta that game.
Finally Tuchel, take a bow son.

A good match to watch for the neutral.

City struggle imo now that Aguero is not a regular, and, for me, Jesus is not a regular enough goal scorer, Sterling is still too hit or miss and the Chelsea defence played one of the best collective games I've seen them play ever. For me, City can knock it around as much as they like in a Barcelona style but they never really looked like scoring and I still think Stones is too unpredictable, he always looks like there is a slip up in the making.

Like others, I thought the referee was superb and whilst he could never be the star of the game he certainly helped make it a game for the neutral

Great final - longest 7 mins of my life!
Another fact, Ngolo Kante lost his virginity at 14 and upon losing it he won it back!

Ignoring the date in the last picture that was to fit the thing by looks but what a career

As if somebody played him attacking midfield!

So disappointed. Team selection/formation quite clearly wrong and didn't work from the first minute. Pep has to take the blame for that and not sure why he sometimes tries to be clever/quirky. Chelsea defended faultlessly yet never looked to be parking the bus - every time they had the ball they passed our non-existent midfield and were on to our very shaky looking defence. If we'd played well and lost it would feel less depressing...

Thought the ref did ok apart from buying into the fact that Azpic...(however its spelled) had broken a leg or at least dislocated a knee and stopped the game!

Pep changed it again and for the life of me I don’t know why. The defence has been solid most of the season being protected. I suppose the game could be summed up by a team that protected its defence well ( Konte etc) and one that didn’t.
That said, gotta mention again that Tuchel set it up well.

My heart says yes but my head would say he's not match fit/sharp. But yes start with him perhaps knowing he wouldn't last the full 90. The formation didn't bring out the best in our stellar players in De Bruyne and Foden...hardly heard their names mentioned (before the assault on Kevin!).

As for Sterling...started better than of late but James had him every time.
