I will tryCan anyone name a good player amongst our record 5 signings?
A total reach, maybe, but I'm trying to work out the logic of seeing OUR warped narrative play out against everyone else's...But if either had received the first yellow, chances are second offence would not have been committed by the players concerned. I am sure Laporte would not, there were other covering players around him.
Also Reguilon instance happened earlier. If he by your logic had been sent off, chances are we would have sacrificed Moura to bring on a left back, so Laporte wouldn't have been abe to foul a player that wasn't on the pitch.
It is a total reach. Yes maybe it hurts, but is just a very poor excuse, and contain so many assumptions.
He asked for intelligent cunts and just found cuntsWe were playing against the best team and coach in world football. It was a cup final they brought their a-game.
Coached to foul and kill off any sort of momentum. I'm only surprised that Mourinho never got our players to do the same
What was "off" about Kane?I don't feel like we should melt after yesterday taken as a one-off cup final. City are a financially doped squad, one of the very best in the world right now, resources well beyond our means. We lost 1-0.
We can't blame the ref IMO, those types of 'should have been a yellow' happen all of the time. Reality is although we didn't play terribly we were second best all over the pitch (as anticipated) Hugo kept us in with some fine saves. Had Hojbjerg had a bit more composure or it falls to someone else it could have been different.
Kane, Son, Bale all off days. Can't be immune from criticism yesterday IMO, even if Kane was rushed back and wasn't fit - we've seen that script before. I don't understand why Sissoko came on, but then I don't understand why he's still at the club. Poch, Jose and Mason obviously see something I don't.
Pissed off but not really at yesterday, on a bigger picture - where do we go from here? Mourinho was always going to end in tears. Levy should have had a contingency for that from Day 0, just like he did when he got rid of our greatest manager for a generation.
Zero efforts on goal?!What was "off" about Kane?
Zero efforts on goal?!
He has these games from time to time, all strikers do. He probably wasn't fully fit.

It's done on sunday league pitches all over the country. Sometimes you've got to do what you need to do to stop the oppo scoring. If we was 1-0 up and in the 90th minute they are on a breakaway and lucas smashes de bruyne to stop a 4 on 2 would you complain about it or would you say well played as it allows you to regroup get men behind the ball and see it out.I'm not saying its not clever. It's clearly incredibly effective.
I'm saying that they're stopping other teams playing by committing intentional fouls. By definition, a foul is a foul because its not allowed in the rules of football - therefore any gameplan that involves intentional fouling is anti-football.
So we're not a super team ?We were just completely outplayed, City have much more quality than us and smothered us completely. They played a great match. It was exactly like the game last season when they had 30 shots to our 3 only this time there was no miracle 2-2 draw.
All I can say about yesterday it that it wasn’t as bad as the 3-0 against then a few weeks ago. Defensively we made some great blocks and I think we frustrated them, we were completely toothless both times but I think we made City work hard for their win rather than just rolling over like at the Etihad. We simply don’t have the quality to really trouble them unless they make a huge mistake or get a man sent off.

Looked fit and sharp to me. Not sure you can blame the zero efforts on him. Set others up who fluffed it.Zero efforts on goal?!

1 less than normal then..Winks made 1 forward pass all game
Sorry if I made it look like I blame Mason for the loss. I wouldn't have played Sissoko, apart from that I'm not sure who I would play, the comment wasn't a stab at him and his selection of players in this game. It was just a thought I had. Should have put it in the Mason thread instead of this one.pretty arrogant of you, he's a qualified coach and because he didn't pick the players (that you don't know, or watch train) that you felt he should have played, he's a flawed option.
Get your letter into Levy, I'm sure you'll go on the shortlist straightaway.
Ok, my apologies then, it seemed to be a bit of an unfair dig at his naivete. His problem was the tools he had to dig with, not the size of the hole, or the location of it.Sorry if I made it look like I blame Mason for the loss.

I sense he probably wouldn't have started if it wasn't a cup final.Looked fit and sharp to me. Not sure you can blame the zero efforts on him. Set others up who fluffed it.
