Crap game

Absolutely deserved to lose this. At least now the owners will understand how far off we are from the top teams.

There is more evidence outside of today to see that. Being 9th in the league should be the obvious one.

Well, we tried. These days thats an improvement

Unlike with previous cup final losses, I can't even be bothered with this one. There's just anger about what has been done to our club.

Don’t let the directors leave make them watch Semenyo and Guehi lift the trophy.

While the tactics were correct and it was a decent performance. We played like a relegation team. Sums us up.

Palace played defensive, counter attacking football last season and won against them. We didn't even test the keeper.

Lads gave it all

I thought it would be a lot worse than that

John Terry was right.

When you put on that shirt you are fighting for a club and as a team. None of those players have any chemistry and have the balls to put themselves on the lines for the club.

Is anyone especially disappointed today.? Or were we expecting it. At least we weren't battered.

Quality goal changed the game, we were well in it up to that point ... just couldn't find a goal - again - why the f**k they put that twat delap on I do not know - seriously Jackson is the better option!!!

Then, when they are done, sack them on the spot.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY GUSTO GETS MINUTES FOR US, ANYONE?

And to think Bayen Munich wanted him at the start of the season

Anyone who thought we could approach the game any other way just look at what happened as soon as we try to play football they just open us up easily.

Expected to lose but disappointed not to even register a goal.

It was strangely satisfying to see City playing for time with Semenyo on the wing near the end.

In containing City we did not have enough going forward.

At least not 0-6 like under Sarri.

Free kick & a booking against Caicedo for shoulder to shoulder outfield but not a pen twice for Chelsea 🙄

Caicedo's booking was for an "Overly strong challenge" apparently. But the penalty calls were deemed "shoulder to shoulder"

Seven wembley defeats for us now. So, we get yet another record. The players showed up today and worked hard imho - and IF they had done that during this season we would have been better off. We expected to lose and we only lost 1-0.

THE CITY TREBLE IS ON…COME ON BURNLEY

1 shot on target will not do the job against Mann city

The sad thing is that most of us are just happy that we didn’t get smashed. That’s how low our standards have fallen.

True. Horrible to lose a cup final. All the Sunday papers full of beaming Citizens.

Mixed feelings. Thought we were great defensively for most of the match, just took a moment of quality, but also disappointed with the lack of quality in the final third

An improvement given our performances so far but still work to be done

I like Gusto - the kid is a good player. Always running and lots of effort.

England the new Elleray

Semenyo available to buy & we go after gittens & Garnacho..... We're just after Temu rated players instead of stars!...ffs

The thing that annoys me, as has annoyed me most of the season is there was never any desperation. When these players experience hardship, they just sulk and sink into themselves. It's reflected in the stats with these being the laziest players in terms of running in the league.

We didn't play badly, I wouldn't say city deserved to beat us, but after their goal it looked like we gave up, just horrendous mentality. Hopefully Alonso comes in and instils a bit of bottle into these soft sh*ts.
