Chelsea (N) | FA Cup Final | Post Match Thread

They spent the first 25 minutes wasting as much time as they could, they fouled very cleverly, and dived more than arsenal, absolutely no ambition to attack for the most part.

If that's the future of football, it's shite (see arsenal), I'm glad we've never played that way.

I'm hoping you're taking the piss.
Why would they be wasting time in the first 25 minutes? I didn't see Sanchez take as long to take a goalkick as the one Trafford took at the end of the first half.

No ambition to attack? They went forward at every opportunity they got, rarely tried to gain a foothold and keep possession, their intent was sound, they simply didn't have the quality in attack to cause us any damage. They were nothing like Arsenal in the carabao who genuinely showed no ambition to attack us. They pressed us high and didnt just camp out around their box. we did well not to give the ball away cheaply in dangerous areas which would likely have been their ideal route to goal. They had a good gameplan that limited us to virtually nothing until a piece of magic opened them up.
 
So we've won 22 out of our last 24 FA Cup games,

Fuckinell, some record that.

Rags have lost both of their last 2 :-)
I think we were talking about the last time we lost to Chelsea. It was the UCL final.

Glad they won't beat us any time soon.
 
Help please, I'm worried.

So for about 6 months I have been enjoying a MCFC fan do YouTube stuff, I don't even know his name. 20ish - very professional setup, not quite Goldbridge, but heading that way.

I watch his watchalongs and other vids.

Too engrossed in the game today to have his watchalong on too (also a nightmare getting BBC1 and YouTube to sync) but after the game I went to find his highlights/match reaction.

Nothing.

I have left it a few hours, still nothing.

Have I had too much bubbly or what - I hope he is OK.

Maybe he was actually at the game? If so I hope he is back home now.

That sounds like “Mcfclads” who think is called Luke. Always seemed a good lad to me too. Represents the club well in social media circles.

Hi, thanks for helping - I put Mcfclads into YouTube that is not him and it is really bugging me now.

The one I'm looking for is usually straight to the top of my YouTube list (due to algorithms, I guess) which is why I'm puzzled.

He sits in a very sky-blue room, he has the scores and a timer (just like The United Stand) does watchalongs and update videos - transfer rumours and stuff.

Short hair, good looking lad - sometimes chats random stuff, not football - but in a funny way. He really was looking like MCFCs Goldbridge (except deffo supports City not Nottingham Forest) and bearing in mind the deal that guy has just done I thought this guy will be next to make big money off a footy fansite.

Yet today, nothing - it is all very odd.

Sounds like Johnny - Typical City

That's a quality summing up of a game ,I listened to on the radio, and your summary fits.
 
True, but he DIDN'T have a bad game. There was the error which for me was down to Akanji, who should have put his foot through it instead of leaving it to a nervous 19 year old in his first match in a new country, then he was booked shortly afterwards for a tackle that might have resulted in a goal had he not made it. While the players around him undoubtedly protected him a bit after that, he didn't put a foot wrong for the rest of the match so this so-called "bad debut" is all about that one error.

All defenders have a howler in them, even the best ones. His just happened very early into his debut. That's about all that happened. As you say, Akanji didn't help.

I've no doubt he'll have another howler or two in his career. Guehi had one recently. It happens.

Pathetic that pundits can't let go of it 18 months later. You could quite easily make a compilation of shite defending and shockers for all the defenders they want to suck off.
