Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

I don't know if this is crazy or not but the one player I think would have made a huge difference was Zinchenko.

Proper pissed me off that. I know the team selection was dodgy, but too many of those players selected were shockingly bad. Torres is useless and I genuinely struggle to see anything whenever the plays, sterling is literally killing us at the moment, Mendy is still Mendy, cancelo regressed to the player he was last season, Jesus is a CF if we ever wondered what the fuck he was. All in all an appalling performance and I know pep will get pelters but fuck me, the players who came in have to show some bollocks.

You need to sell Sterling. He's just a ballboy for the opposition's defenders.

Who'd pay more than a tenner for him ?

Shame, but it’s so tough to win every trophy in one season and the FA Cup was the one I wanted to win the least. I want to win the League Cup to equal Littlewoods' record of four in a row and eight in total, and I want to win the Premier League and Champions League for obvious reasons.

Full credit to Chelsea for nullifying our attack, but we had our chances.

And despite his MotM performance, I would have taken Dinho off for Bernardo, especially after his yellow card.

Still plenty to play for. Let’s have a great finish to the season.

We'll win the league, we have a 70/30 chance of the league cup but I just can't see us getting anywhere near PSG after this week's performances, particularly if KDB is out. Echoes of that week in April 2018

That was as bad as anything we have produced all season.

For me, the only silver lining might be that Pep will fuck this 6/7/8 changes off. We have to rotate to keep a freshness, but he has taken it way too far.

If we are going to end up playing a shadow team in a FAC semi, I question the point of trying to get this far in the 1st place. It stinks of arrogance that he thinks he can put out a side that is full of players that are either not good enough, or are woefully out of form in a cup semi final.

Play our best side in the Prem and get the fucking thing won ASAP.

Pep was too cocky. Thought his team would pull it out of the bag. Forgot he was playing against Chelsea’s wall of blue. Oh well at least the quadruple question is over and the domestic treble done. Think we’ll end up with the league and hopefully thd league cup which on the face of it is an excellent season.

Chelsea were tactically perfect.

Sometimes we will be beaten it’s not always because we were awful and everyone needs sacking.

This is on Pep, he just need a game each season to totally fuck it up. Players as well, but it is him at the end of the day. And he did fuck it up big time. No Gundogan, no ZInechenko when playing the best passing side in the league apart from us. It was obvious the left side did not work at all, they could not hold onto the ball for 3 seconds. Still kept Mendy on. Ferran was totally out of game, did literally nothing and he still didn't change things. He kept Sterling on, who is just going from the worst game of his City career to even worse one. Waited for KdB to get injured, but I still believe he would not send Gundo on if we didn't concede. And then we started playing, sort of. So yes, Pep you have a team, but you lost two FA cup games with the fucking whimper and if you have a right to fuck it up once a season I have my right to say once a year, fuck you!

waw. agree. Torres, mendy and sterling should not be anywhere near the team. what sads me is pep watching sterling wasting chances and not bringing mahrez or bernardo.

Meh! Didn't want to win it anyway ;)
