Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

[cookster]

Can't fault the passion, we were hammering on the door for the last 20... oh wait went out with a fucking whimper.

Sterling is a waste of a shirt at the moment, shouldn't be near the starting first team

Agreed but Mendy will take all the shit for it.

Pep knew we'd lose.. That team would wouldn't win against anyone, never mind an in form Chelsea

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in, they fought to the end. It just wasn’t enough this time. Thank you City. Thank you lads. Keep on fighting.

Shocking game that many of us predicted in the pre match thread.Once we stray from our best 12/13 the drop off is vast,as proved today.We looked a million times better when Foden and Gundogan entered play.

However,being realistic,something had to give.....just a shame it was the FA Cup.

Hope Kev is ok,now let's do that treble :-)

treble?
i think it's pretty obvious Pep is only playing for one trophy .

 

[Rammy Blue]

Worst performance in years, pretty obvious Pep prioritised the league and the other comps ahead of today, no other reason not to get Mahrez, Bernie and Zinch on to the pitch today.

Got to be honest looking at that performance I question the whole fucking point in even bothering turning up today.
Nobody apart from Phil looked bothered.

If we are going to serve up performances like that in semi finals then why bother? It was the same last season. We would have been better off just playing youth players in the earlier rounds.

The front 3 who started today, were horrible last week and they got started again today. All 3 were utter shite again today.

Mendy offered nothing neither did Cancelo.

The only two players who were any good were the two subs who came on. Why only use 2 subs when we can use 5?

 

[Blue Pete]

Like Leeds too many changes, too many players didnt trust themselves or their team mates, moving to two holding midfielders stifled any chance in attack.

Easy victory for Chelsea playing against 9 men. Raz and Mendy contributed nothing and both got 90 mins. I don't know what Pep was watching but the two of them were woeful.
