League Cup Final Post - Match Thread

Rudiger should have walked. And those 3 added mins at the end - all taken up with that farce of a goalie sub. I thought from Kepa''s time wasting after 2 mins that Chelsea wanted penalties. The better than won, but we didn't play well. Just lacking that final killer pass and too slow all round. Credit Chelsea they were totally different from a fortnight ago. Hazard easily the most dangerous player on the pitch, so we did well. Shame about the injuries. Anyone remember Eddie taking throw in? Bizarre

No don't 'credit' Chelsea, they should have had two sent off for fouls on our players. Rudiger should have got two yellows before and after an advantage was given by the Ref and the other was a direct body check by Jorginho on Raheem when he was straight through.

She would have saved Aguero’s! How he didn’t save that I don’t know

no mate, she's 83 and would have struggled to get down that low :)

The player who is being substituted doesn't have to leave the pitch. It is his decision

How on earth does that happen? A manager makes a choice chooses who comes off sub is made? If not the case every game a.player will be saying nah I ain't coming off, it rubbish mate if a manager makes a change he informs 4th official, number held up and player has to come off

Exactly mate, it reminded me of when Mahrez claimed that penalty at ainfeld and then buckled under the pressure. Kepa put the pressure on himself and embarrassed his club, which helped us.

Kepa was taking injury whenever we got some momentum. There was no cramp. Sarri wanted to bring Willy on for the pens, if he had, we might not have won it, he knows the players he's facing and he's experienced at saving penalties to win trophies.

You make a very good point, in fact Sarri - possibly due to speaking a second language has confirmed this - Kepa wasn't suffering from cramp (so therefore he was faking it), there should be some sanction for that, in my opinion.

Anyone noticed walker stepped backwards and picked up which looked like a handful of grass and either kissed or ate right before Raz pk ?
Any clip?

He did this before kick off too.

That is what I thought too .
