Chelsea (H) - Carabao Cup | Post-Match Thread

Enjoyable game to watch that, both sides had their chances. For a change we played a team who didn't score with their first shot, or two on goal. Thought we deserved the win and were the better team over all but they did have the better chances. Grealish very good, really hope he builds on that. Lewis struggled defensively but continued to work hard and drive forward. I apologise to Mahrez for saying he should come off at half time.

Good game that.

Ortega MOM.

Grealish had a good game also.

I thought Palmer looked out of his depth tonight. Only young though,good experience

Pep showed Mahrez Bluemoon match thread at half time.:-)

Agree with every word of that mate.

Great result for us, kudos to Chelsea for making it a game, Ortega was awesome tonight and great to see Kalvin Phillips get some game time............

Good win tonight considering the team we had out,but we were far to open at the back,having said that it made for a great game ..

Watching Phillips there it’s pretty clear the England players have already been told whether they’re in the squad or not. Phillips couldn’t stop smiling, he’s in.

Was John Boy smiling please?

Hope so. Get him match fit and ready to go once the WC is over.

So many changes to both teams its hard to read the game but we rode our luck, mixture of brilliant goalkeeping and poor misses by Chelsea got us through.
Hanging on for the final 15 minutes, surprised he kept 3 on up front and did not bring a defender on for one of them.
But every PL team put out weakened teams in this round so we are through and thats all that matters

Well he wasn’t interviewed, but I think there’s absolutely no chance Stones doesn’t go.

Really entertaining and enjoyable game. Grealish was the main man tonight, always on the front foot and deserved a goal. Ortega also had an inspired game and is a very capable understudy to Ederson.
