Chelsea Carabao Cup Rd 3 (H) | Man of the Match

[BlueAnorak]

Ortega and Mendy - astonishing keeper performances. Could easily have been 8-5 scoreline

Gone for Grealish but Ortega was probably the real man of the match, crucial saves

 

[Frankie lad]

Simple.Jack did well but wouldn’t have scored if he had of played until Saturday.Ortega was like Corrigan on one of his amazing days and without him we wouldn’t be in the draw.

Grealish for me. Ortega obviously was class as well, but i think Grealish really tried hard in this game to make things happen. On another day he'd have had a couple goals.

Ortega for me but Grealish and Alvarez both had fantastic games as well.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Ortega for some of those saves were equal to scoring a goal at the other end. That Hall lad must be really pissed off with his two misses that actually were fantastic saves rather than poor finishing. Grealish was fantastic as well the lad just needs a goal.

Cup football is all about the team in front of you and making sure you are in the hat for the next round so job done.

One game left before 6 weeks of no City....sighs.

Grealish had a great game for me, seems to be much more effective when he plays with Gomez behind him. He is willing to overlap a lot more. Alvarez phenomenal work rate again and really impressed how he makes the right choice with his final ball so often.

Ortega made some top drawer saves aswell.

Brilliant to watch a game without VAR, great display from Grealish and what a keeper Ortego is!

I thought Cole had a very decent game

Same, thought he had some classy touches, looked really at home in midfield and unlucky not to score.

Ortega and Jack had his best game for City.
