Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

[LangleyBlue1970]

Oh well we got beat but we are still in the mix. And we will be for decades to come so don’t be downhearted fellow blues the future is bright.

That's isn't the attitude. The right attitude is that we had THEE chance to make history, but once again team selection ruined it.
Get him in a room and ask him why. See what the genius says. I'll say, 'why didn't you start Foden'?

Didn’t like our defensive coach, sat behind Pep, laughing at us messing up a chance right at the end of the game.

I think he was laughing at the Chelsea defender going down with a pretend head injury and wasting time rather than us missing a chance, unless I'm thinking of a different episode in the match.

think it was his debut wasnt it?

yep, I thought we had signed the best centre back the world had ever seen until his next game and every single game that followed...

11, 3 on target, at least 2 poor headers, Laporte and Fernandhino, Jesus' shot straight at the keeper. We weren't great, especially around the box, but we still created chances, and more than they did, ignoring the 2 offside goals they scored.

If you think we had 11 goal attempts I’ve got a bridge you might want to buy...

Its a possibility with KDB but If i was asked honestly I think his attitude was poor...its been seen before with him and its become more noteable this season as good as he has been ...the point you noticed was the first one...in the first 15 mins.....therefore if there had been a niggle he would surely have come off....so i doubt it was this and that wasnt the last time he did it in the game either......we can try to find excuses but I think that its more than likely he just wasnt up for it and he was very poor today

100% didn't look up for it. very poor.

@twosips Excellent post match summation. Well worth a watch for a balanced perspective.

Not sure it’s arrogance or disrespect of the competition but for our recent FA cup semis,
Brighton, Arsenal and now Chelsea three absolute lazy disinterested stinkers

him & Mendy need dropping to the reserves for a while, fuck me its not 1970

The genius would most probably say.. I got you in the position to make history by rotating my squad... and he would have a point.

The FA cup and League cup are just distractions at this point, we already won both multiple times. Pep made the right decision to rotate and keep players fresh and hungry.

The main objectives are the league and the CL, I was actually surprised Pep risked KDB.

Also It will probably be the same team again against Spurs next week-end which is again fine, if we get it it's a bonus but priority is to make sure players are fresh for the PSG game.

I think the media got into the head of many of our fans with this quadruple nonsense.
