WTF we bring giroud on is beyond me. He does not fit into our playstyle.

2nd game in a row we don't do a Lampard and cross balls into him, what was the f**king point? It would be Tammy who should be in as 2nd striker if we play like this ffs

We are now in serious danger of losing 2 finals and finishing outside the top 4.

That is a depressing thought, months and months of hard work could be all undone in a couple of weeks.

Let’s just hope we can have one last push.

Problem will be when you hardly score more than 1 goal in a 90 minute match any goals you ever concede greatly reduce your chance of winning football matches.

This sounds like another modern footballism. Recycling possession? I never remember people saying that about Ballack, Essien, Lampard, Makalele and so on. Jorginho is simply bang average nothingness. City fans still assume it was a hoax that they were linked with him.

He's just not good enough when a team sits deep. He is the main factor in this slow build up as he's on the ball constantly passing backwards and sideways. 

Really can't bare to watch another season of him starting.

I know everyone is down from this loss but let’s not throw the rest of the season and all the progress we have made away. We have a chance to get revenge on Tuesday and still have a ucl final to play. It hurts but the season isn’t over yet, ktbffh

It's hard to be positive right now, but I echo the sentiment. 

Just fuming that it went the same way as Arsenal, and I was fuuuuuming after that one too. 

Im not going after VAR because we did not deserve to win at all. Pathetic group of players bar a few like Kante who don't care about a cup final. 

I'm not in the position to criticize Tuchel as he is a top coach, but I think it was obvious to everyone that Alonso and especially Ziyech were not up to the level today and should have been substituted right at half time without delay. We needed Pulisic directness and Chilwell's speed. The subs came way too late and they almost changed the game.

And Leicester did deserve to win after a fake offside decision? LOL

Look at this

It's only offside (by millimetre) because they have decided to pause the replay 2 or 3 frames after the pass is made. It's a f**king disgrace.

You forgot them measuring from his elbow  which he can’t score from. Although I kind of wish this had never happened as we weren’t good enough to justify getting anything anyway.

1st team selection itself was questionable.

Not at all, his run was perfectly timed.

 

Not even any Leicester player appealed, all the players knew it was onside. Even if you think your in for a chance of it going your way knowing that you're wrong you still appeal

This performance = S h a i t e
Jorgi must be sold asap ... he is a liability, and the rest of the team gotta show more entusiasm and spirit!!! Come on, they play on the highest level of football in europe. Gotta bleed some for the club & fans. 
TT & team gotta make this right at next game vs. the foxes

To be continued...

It should be paused as soon as Silva's foot touches the ball not when the ball is already moving. It's so clear to see the ball isn't round and already left his foot ffs

Both teams were f**king awful. What a terrible game of football all round. 

VAR is VAR you'll always find people going to whinge over it depending on what the result comes out, in the end it didn't give the goal and that ultimately wasn't our problem.

We were clearly cheated, I can't see how can something look at that goal and honestly say that it's offside.

Loser DNA this squad, back to back f**king finals lost, very worrying for our future that this core are so used to losing when it truly matters. Mason Mount... 2 finals, twice a loser, as for the rest of a youth, losers in the adult game, it’s all they know in finals.

OK but 1 team was cheated from an extra time or penalties which goes against fair game.

I don't think Leicester was particularly good either as they were mostly defending and had good 15 minute spell at the start of the second half.

Yeah it winds me up that it’s presented as a scientific certainty with those lines being drawn all over the screen, when in reality you’ve got a bloke in a room squinting at a blurry image on a monitor.

Here's the resolution of VAR in making decisions (based on 25fps video).

A man running can be out by as much as 15cm (a foot of a running person can be as much as 30cm out). Additionally, the foot kicking the ball can also be up to 30cm out

Then there's the inherent inaccuracy of manually drawing the points the lines are based on. On top of the above inaccuracies.

In short, it's f**king farcical having any confidence in saying offsides that tight are "clear and obvious errors".

Well it was, because in the end, it killed any hope of us winning the game. Yes we were bad, but being bad doesn't mean we deserve to be on the end of a decision like this.

How can we win if VAR will invent offsides and what not?

We didn't lose because of VAR or any other conspiracy. We lost because we continually pass the ball sideways in front of a well prepared defence. We lost because we cannot create a chance from 9 corners. We lost because we left too many non-performing players on the pitch - waiting until 67 minutes to take off Ziyech is a poor decision, particularly in light of taking off the likes of Gilmour at half-time. We lost because Tuchel thought having James stop Vardy was more important than having James create space and dangerous crosses up front - Dave is a great full-back and captain but he is not, and never will be, a wing-back. We lost because we were poor in the second-half. This loss was, like the Arsenal game, all in our own hands. It's pointless blaming anyone else.

We might not have been at our best but Leicester did not do anything else beside Tielemans strike, i thought the game plan was good but we don't seem to but our chances away now.

Like some else said i think we need to start Pulisic even when he's not on form, we need our attackers to challenge the opponent's defence with a bit of skill and we NEED a midfield who can shoot the ball! So tired of seeing Kanté Kovavic and Jorginho passing the ball in front of the box, it can't be Rudiger only who tries from long range..

i hope we knock them off the top 4 too

Their lines are actually curved aswel, I just edited it, drawing my own super straight lines and chilwell is actually 5 yards onside

It was the most boring final since the 2007 snooze fest. At least we won that one though.

Absolutely agree with that, but since he has made a mistake with that he should have rectified that sooner rather than later.  It feels like Tuchel was  naively hoping that Ziyech would score in the second half as against City in semis or Alonso would score because he scored last time he played.
