Newcastle Fan Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I actually like that they don't want to wear the silver medals, that's the sort of mentality you need, imagine our lot having anything similar to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Finals aren't for losers, raw after you've lost I'm not surprised they aren't wearing their runner up medals with pride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the over-exaggerations from some posters that’s the issue. Ultimately, Chelsea played brilliant defensively and Man City’s system wasn’t able to break them down. That is down to Pep’s tactics alongside individual performances. I just don’t think making grand protestations that he can’t handle the big matches makes any sense. What’s the sample size? Four games? There's no doubt that he has a habit of making strange team selections in big games. Apart from changing his midfield, Cancelo's been arguably their best player this season, a huge part of the way they've played, and didn't even get on the pitch.

Sure, and those things can be challenged and should be thought about critically but this idea that he’s a bottle job when he’s made it to the final of the toughest football competition and made it to four finals in total this season just doesn’t make any sense. Semi-finals are high pressure matches, so are quarter finals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) There's no way I'm parading around with a runners up medal around my neck if I've just lost the biggest game of my career It would definitely take place in a medal collection but its one of those that's left there and never really talked about imo. Either you win the trophy, or nothing else really matters. Edited May 29, 2021 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 It's the act of taking it off though isn't it?
