A striker!Really? Sterling is rapid over short distances and Walker the quickest full-back in world football still. They lacked a lot of things tonight but I don't think pace was one of them.
Sometimes the false 9 thing looks like the stupidest idea in the world. Totally toothless.
...well you know what THEY need to solve it then...?My problem with City is that they get the ball into the box and then starting trying flicks and wee passes and I think the false 9 encourages that. Put the fucking lasses through it, it's a Champions League final ffs.
....and WE are the best example of how a club can transform a manager!! (and not usually in a good way!)Tuchel is honestly the best example of how a manager can transform a club.
Would be amusing if Guadiola lost this one, leaving him without a CL trophy since he departed with Messi.
Thank fuck that season is over
Wow. Chelsea completely nullified City. Tuchel made Guardiola look like Villas-Boas!
Kante was unreal. Rudiger a monster. From an Englishman perspective, I also thought Reece James was outstanding, and Chilwell not too far behind, which bolds well for England next month. Foden just couldn't get into it but his time will surely come. Guardiola killed him by playing him down the middle in the first half. Mount was Mount, terrific player in every sense.
Good game of football all in all and wouldn't have minded extra-time.
Fucking hell, is this still a Spurs forum? I found the whole experience excruciatingly painful to watch.
Makes me sad. Actually made me smoke (had quit for 7 months before tonight), just because the first thing it reminded me was that penalty. I'm still not over that decision, probably will never be for the rest of my life.If they STILL had 'spot the ball' you couldn't get odds on being THAT accurate... its in EXACTLY the same position!
I WISH you hadn't posted that... makes 2 years ago (and tonight) hurt that little bit more.
Damir Skomina I think.Who was that cunt of a referee? He completely fucked the competitiveness of that final by awarding a penalty in 20 seconds. Fucking cunt I’ll put some gypsy curse on his ass
They are my families second team as well, my great grandfather also played youth n reserves for them.The Bees always been my second team, my Dad played for their reserves in the late 50s - would be great to see them back in the top division - shame they're not still at Griffin Park, I had a few good burgers there back in the 80s.
Fuck em.... the original 'plastic' fans!Imagine how Paris fans feel
Precisely!"no doubt Manc city are a better side than Chelsea but not at this precise time in this precise thing"
Joe Cole actually said this.
We can apply this to Levy.
