BARNES OUT
Mahrez been giving me the finger all season. Fair play to the man.
No they are definitely much better.Might end up looking stupid tomorrow but I would have said Chelsea are much better than Madrid. They've been killing it since they got an actual manager.
Glad to get through a really good performance but always was nervy at 1-0 we would come to rue those missed chances especially as for all of Madrid not looking all that, Mendy had 2 big saves to make relatively early on. Got to be a lot more clinical if we want to beat Man City though.@JOJOXI your boys should be out of sight by now. Madrid look really poor here.
I'm unsure on getting a new striker - if we can get Haaland though no doubt get him but media link with him and Chelsea seems to be dying somewhat. Depending on how much Aguero wanted he might be an option but I wouldn't be getting him as someone who can guarantee us 45 starts a season but I wouldn't want to get a striker just so we have a striker as our fortune with high profile strikers isn't great as it is so going for someone who is well down the list of options for a big fee is a big risk.Yeah I think Chelsea will be tempted to for Haaland this summer even if they were to beat City in the final.
Hopefully its not as drab as the previous English champs league final , City obvious favs but Chelsea are playing really good stuff right now.
Interesting with an eye on next season who will be main rival to City? Pool or Chelsea?
While false 9 has worked for us this season I don't expect Pep will stick with it long term. We will almost certainly buy a #9 this off-season.The chat on BT about Chelsea needing a striker was odd given that both semis involved teams playing with a Proper Striker getting brutally mauled by teams playing without one.
Yeah I don't think it's ideal in your case. Tbh I'd say the City attack is as bad as it's been under Pep, it's just worked out overall because the defence is on another level. None of your wingers or forwards are quite top tier at the moment.While false 9 has worked for us this season I don't expect Pep will stick with it long term.
