League Cup Final Post - Match Thread

Yes, good point - I did actually say this earlier cos I heard the lady on Talksport refer to the letter of the law.

But the letter of the law is one thing, normal respect for the manager is another. I have never seen anything like this today and I had a funny feeling when it happened, we would win :)

(Great pic by the way - World of Sport was so much better the Grandstand!)

I said to the kids that he could refuse to be subbed and I've never seen a player do so

No, he wasn't and a quick look by VAR would have shown that.

They did review it, and the FA feed (with offside line) showed he was just on, but Moss/VAR still disallowed the goal.

Roll on VAR...

Thought we looked tired after the first half and just had none of our normal sharpness. Buzzing that Raheem got the winner and to see the celebrations makes it so much harder to understand why other teams just bin these competitions off.

The Kepa situation was hilarious but fair play to him for backing himself. I suspect his 'injury' may have been a time wasting ploy that went badly wrong. Also fair play to Sarri for taking the responsibility and not selling out a player if the explanation is truthful.

MoM was Kante but Zinchenko was the best of our bunch. He handled Pedro and Hudson-Odoi pretty well and put in some decent crosses - he seems to have added that threat to his game.

Worse moment of the match was seeing Kompany and Otamendi playing pass the parcel instead of attempting some forward passes.

We say it every week but Ederson is beautiful the way he disrespects the opposition closing him down .

Lucky that Chelsea signed him before the transfer ban kicks in.

Did they look at VAR? Seemed a long delay agaim.

When Hazard was through as well, shouldnt the Lino have kept his flag down or was that one well offside?

Very close and he should have kept his flag down.

Kinnell that was hard work.....and only just made our train.
I think Zin edged MOTM..just over Bernado.
Sergio looked well offside from the stands so I'm surprised everyone saying he was on.
Thought our support was really quiet...but fuck it stick another trophy in the cabinet.

Georginho should have gone for this. Clear intent and dangerous.

I'm sure the disciplinary panel will be all over it...…….. Oh, wait - will they fuck, because Sky/BT/BBC aren't showing it on a loop.

Winston Reid says hi by the way.

VAR did take a look.

And both were likely *just* onside.

Really poor all around from the officials.
