Does anyone else think it was an accident?

It looked to me like Kepa thought he was being replaced due to injury and he was making them aware he was fine.

What was happening though was Sarri was replacing him due to Willy being a penalty specialist.

Maybe a misunderstanding?

That's the Chelsea line. It's certainly possible.

Kepa could have dealt with it better by going over and talking to him - as long as he doesn't leave the pitch, he can stay on.

Doesn't matter, manager tells you you're coming off, off you go, without needing to be told twice.
 
How does a keeper get cramp anyway he is not exactly running about? I think it was miscommunication but surely word should have been given to him?
 
I couldn't believe it when it happened, I saw Caballero warming up and then he went back to the dugout and threw his gloves on the ground so I presumed he had been told your not going on.

Then he actually got kitted up and was ready to come on and then Kepa had a melt down. Was relieved, you could just Willy saving all of our pens.

I think its embarrassing for the club, why Azpilicueta didn't get involved I don't know. Id be ashamed if Kompany wasn't the one dragging the player off the pitch if it ever happened for us.

Shows the lack of respect for the manager in my mind, not a single one that I can remember went over to chat to Sarri and then speak with Kepa. They were all just stood about apart from Luiz who was seemingly talking to him to get him to go off or maybe he was saying "Fuck Sarri, stay here".

It shouldn't need legislation. It's about discipline and respect for the manager.

It's never needed legislation before. Thanks to Chelsea and their dickhead players it now might. Can't see FIFA and the IFAB looking at that and thinking, "wow, wouldn't that be a great thing to happen in a World Cup final".

Whatever it was, the manager was seen to be undermined. That's where the damage was done.
Who knows what's going on behind the scenes, the players might be picking the team for all we know.

He was reported a possible hamstring problem going into the match, which may have been something that looked a bit like cramp. I would guess that was in Sarri's thinking too.

I doubt it will be changed. Change based on a single incident is a terrible way to make rules.
