Strong starting 11 and string squad.

I hope wet go all out from the kick off, even if we have to make 5 subs second half.

Come on City and Pep 😢

Final ball in the box had been very poor.

Need to improve second half big time

Tight first half but we are on the wrong end of the one decent finish. One of the three midfielders will have to make way for Cherki.

Ah well, that's life. We simply got started too late this season, too a long time to gel.

Two trophies are great, a good season.

To get back to challenge for the PL after the poor first half was an incredible effort.

Thank you to all the players and our magnificent manager.

City not really good enough this evening. But that won't stop me saying that Anthony Taylor is useless. A goal, substitutions and plenty time wasting in injury time but still almost an exact 6 minutes injury time that he gave at the end of full time. He had already had another piss poor game.

All over and out

Still a decent season

I disagree it was a strong starting line up.

Kovacic and Rodri and Silva in the same line up when 2 of them are still recovering from being injured and not fully fit...  not enough forward movement and all playing behind the ball.

Still, nice to see a mini comeback at the end. Plenty of spirit there
