So much pressure on Arsenal.

What a win. That goof by Dunnaruma was right in front of us.

Man that's so cool.

What a roller coaster of a game. The league is in our hands.

Also the Donnirunma conversation needs to be had. The howler today isn't an aberration, it's been a long time coming.

The team plays better with Trafford in net. But right now all appearances are that Donnarumma is Pep's choice and Trafford will be sold for a profit this summer. In my opinion it's the wrong choice. Trafford has been a great shot stopper this season and it's night and day with the ball at his feet compared to Donnarumma.

He was so shakey watching him every time they passed him the ball. Gotta get out of his head.

After the bozo, you could tell every player was so scared to pass back to him.

You can really see the difference in the confidence playing out of the back when Trafford is in net vs Donnarumma.

I think it's the reason the FA Cup and League Cup games have been so much crisper against Arsenal and Liverpool than the league games.

Man, the 3 points was most important, but really needed to add a couple more for the goal diff tiebreaker.

Ew. We gotta hold out for Kompany.

I think I saw that Komoany just signed an extension. I think this is going to be a "he doesn't want to be the guy after the guy" situation.

Maresca was under Pep for a little, so hopefully he can bring a steady culture as we transition away from the goat. Hopefully he can keep us in the CL and win a couple trophies for a couple years, then we get Kompany to come home.

It's after games like today when you really question why Nico G doesn't get more playing time…
Vessel

Pep sat on his hands too long in the 2nd half when things were going terribly. The defenders are also terrified to pass to Donnarumma and it's caused them to make the mistakes.

League hopes are done…

Glad I didn't watch that. What a waste.

What a weird game.

Got home from work just in time to see Everton score the second goal, and MC immediately responds with Haaland off the kickoff.

We are such a second half team. Almost feel like we should just park the buss the first half. At least the pressure is still on arse. Come on you hammers.

Have to give it to Chelsea for a competitive game, lucky goal, and the ref swallowing the whistle on two and possibly three calls

Pep not playing Cherki and going with Marmoush in the first half was such an odd choice. Dude just tries **** and there was no creativity. What did he expect? lol

Well, we expected it. I hope he gets his international trophies.

The speculation is he wants to be in the front office for City. He's under contract for another year and he's consistently said something like "I'll be here (at least until the end of the contract)."

FWIW, Fabrizio reposting all his months old tweets about Maresca being the heir to Pep.

Arsenal getting away with a red card with 25 minutes left... Every single decision all year has gone their way.
Vessel

Complete insanity in their favor yet again. And they can get away with whatever in front of goal on set pieces but have goals against wiped away for similar actions... The entire season has been a sham.

Nothing surprising.

Welp, already looking like we are going to drop points... Pep mailed it in with a Rodri-Kovacic-Bernardo midfield.. Reports that the players found out about Pep leaving the same way we did after being told on Saturday that Pep was staying. It shows. Everybody looks slow and sad.

Brutal performance. Rodri looked as checked out as anybody. Really sad end to his City tenure.

We didn't cover ourselves in glory this season, but it's such a shambolic title... Outcomes changed in up to 6 or 7 games.

Looks like Foden is going to be left out of the England WC squad. Not too surprising given his form the last 5-6 months.

Cole Palmer also not going to make it, reportedly.

The days of milk and honey are gone. We will still compete every year but I cannot see us ever having a run like 17-24 ever again.

Well at least it was a proper send off for Silva and Stones
