League Cup Final Post - Match Thread

Would love to know what Cundy said about his team last night on TalkSHITE.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Absolutely delighted.

Madness from Chelsea, that keeper should never play for them again.

I hope the world record fee costing goal'kepa' continues to play for Chelsea and continues to humiliate 'em.

Every time we ran hard at Chelsea - Raheem a case in point - we got cynically hacked down closely followed by someone rolling around like Adam West's 1960s Batman has punched 'em in the mouth. And yet we were made to look like the team that did all the fouling - we had 61 per cent of the ball !!!!!

John sits in front of me at the Etihad. I’ll make sure he sees this. I’m sure he want me to thank you advance for the kind words and thoughts.

Just want to echo the thoughts of the previous posters, heart wrenching stuff watching that video.

I hope that yesterday's result gives John and his family a welcome distraction and an inkling of happiness during what must be an extremely difficult time. All the best thoughts and strength for him and his family, I'm sure his daughter would be very proud that he went to Wembley yesterday and saw the boys win in her memory.

Chelsea fan friend going on and on about the Hazard offside being wrong. Setting aside the absurdity after all the ref decisions they got did we ever get a definitive view of that?

 

[Armaan]

Just offside. Correct call.

"Lottery win" ?
Look at the stats, won on points before the penalty shootout and if the ref had done his job on the 'sendings off' it would never have reached that stage.

Penalties are a lottery win. All about choosing your luck and beating the keeper. The ref didn't do much right, I agree. We definitely had the upper hand on the game but testing the Chelsea Manager in goal wasn't frequent enough and VAR caught Sergio's bottom offside.

Got back from the overnight stay in London tonight. Still laughing my arse off at Jorginho's Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks comedy run up.

And David Luis learnt the square root of fuck all following him. WTF they have between their ears would cost ten kilos a penny!

Overall a draw after 120 mins football was about right. Still a bit concerned about the form of KDB and Silva. The cynical fouls on aguero, sane and Silva were really poor I thought and moss could have given at least one red.

Performance wise sterling never stopped trying, same for Bernardo, but zinchenko and Otamendi had excellent matches.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Just offside. Correct call.

Isn’t the Lino supposed to keep his flag down in these situations and let VAR look t it. Very tight call that one.
