#villa have been great tonight and some fantastic goals. Freiburg look like they’re playing in a friendly, no passion or effort. Seems common in finals now, just no intensity. May as well stopped the game after 45min.

Great improvement on last season. Awful way to finish, similar to the Hull game not taking our chances. I worry we’ll lose a few decent players this summer and it will be another bit of a rebuild again. Seeing Hull 6th shows this was a wasted opportunity. #dcfc

@icardo8 It’s not the norm though. Most football is possession based sideways backwards passing with little attacking intent. That’s why people like these games, it’s nice to watch a game where it’s not the defence and the keeper passing between them for a majority of the match.

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry habla sobre el marcador de PSG vs Bayern Munich 5:4 Escuchen, necesitamos tener una conversación seria sobre lo que estamos viendo. Para los aficionados, por supuesto, es emocionante, nueve goles, de un área a la otra, momentos por todos lados. Todos están en las redes sociales gritando: "¡Oh, qué partido!". ¿Pero lo es? ¿En serio? Tenemos que parar. Tenemos que dejar de llamar a esto "gran fútbol". Lo que vimos esta noche... no fue una semifinal de la Champions League. Fue fútbol callejero. Fue un patio de juegos. Fue un "tú anotas, luego yo anoto". ¿Dónde está la calidad? ¿Dónde está la estructura defensiva? Vi una semifinal esta noche donde el enfoque táctico era esencialmente "tú anotas, luego nosotros anotamos". Es caótico. Es de un área a la otra, sí, pero por todas las razones equivocadas. Tengo mucho respeto por el juego, pero esto... esto no es lo que debería verse en una semifinal europea de élite. No quiero un 5-4. Denme un 1-0 donde cada entrada se sintiera como una guerra. Denme un partido donde los defensores realmente defiendan. No vi a dos equipos que supieran cómo cerrar una puerta y echarle llave. Es llamativo, es "fútbol de TikTok", pero la joya del juego está desapareciendo. Todos persiguiendo momentos, jugadas destacadas, números. Pero el fútbol no se trata solo de brillar individualmente. Se trata de control, disciplina y responsabilidad colectiva.

Clarke player of the year by a country mile. #dcfc

@nigel_b_golf Travel nearly 200 miles to watch this garbage. They’re right to stay at home mate. I feel cheated giving them 90 minutes of my time watching on sky.

Hundreds of tickets available in the City seating areas today…… Arsenal full ground takeover pending?

I know we’re winning and I know our style of football. But I don’t think there’s a worse team in the league at keeping possession. Why can we not pass at all? #dcfc

Wasn’t sure about some of the decisions last night, but we had our chances to get something out the game and it’s on the players that we didn’t. Thought Travis had a semi decent 2nd half. Missed opportunity with Wrexham losing. #dcfc

Got to do better there. Awful strike. #dcfc

We’ll probably go on and win this now. But do those subs make any sense at all? #dcfc

@AdamFisher02 Agyemang clearly talented player and has looked better throughout the season. He’s now able to use his physicality well which he couldn’t when he arrived. He’ll definitely go for good money in the summer. Shows he’s in the right place to have the chances,

I keep telling everyone !! Agyemang isn’t all that #dcfc

@Navi1bainsNavi Ebou every day, we needed a creative midfielder we didn’t need Travis. Offers nothing, apart from losing his head every other game.

#dcfc Travis or Ebou??? At least Ebouu was never a fvukim lazy passenger like our captain!!

@Navi1bainsNavi I really thought we lacked someone who could control the midfield last season. Not seen anything from Travis that makes me feel any different this season.

#dcfc Travis has to show, 100% more than he has done in games so far. Despite his reputation & fee, he has not yet shown that the multi million pound fee we paid for him makes him £4.5million better than what we already have or had. Time to show what he can do.

@whatson2002 Feaulo and Eames both very positive, probably means we won’t see them in the team again.

Obvious gulf in class but loads of positives from today. Fraulo and Eames will help us massively, as well as Ozoh and Travis back. #dcfcfans #dcfc

@dcfc_connor When we play like that you could have Haaland in this team and it wouldn’t make much difference. We don’t create chances.

Give me Sammy smzodics piore or anyone that can score a fucking goal salversen is useless #dcfc #dcfcfans

@jakclark95 True, a little bit more quality around him and he could add goals to his game.

@bunkered Probably a confidence thing aswell to be fair

@jakclark95 He could have hit it earlier when the chance was there. He does the same any time he’s edge of the area. Good player, but questionable decisions when around the box.

@bunkered Had no choice but to have a pop there, absolutely no movement in or around the box everyone just stood still watching

@dcfcstephen First time I’ve seen him hit a shot that didn’t just smash into the defenders feet. Definitely not a goal scoring midfielder.

Oh, Clark.. should be 2-0. #dcfc

@Jamie_Probert1 Just doesn’t look like a championship player to me. Should be bit part player, I don’t think he offers more than CBT.

Pat is asleep, looks so lazy today. #dcfc

@BenjaminJJ03 Appalling that he doesn’t get a look in. Can’t believe he can’t offer more than what we have on the pitch.

CBT must’ve really pissed Eustace off 🤣 we were all so buzzing in pre season about him, now can’t get a single minute #dcfc

@laurogeitabat So funny to read all the posts about favouring Lando. If they favoured him they would have pitted after Max as every other team did. If this was any other team Lando would have won and sealed the title yesterday, the fact they don’t is why the title is still open.

"we made the wrong decision. i feel terrible for oscar and lando. oscar was absolutely impeccable all weekend. (..) nothing we can do about it now. we're leading the championship. it put oscar at a deficit, left some points on the table. so we'll do the best we can in abu dhabi."
