Chelsea 2nd leg match thread

[Daffy Duck]

That was nowhere near a yellow, but I think Oliver's done us a couple favours tonight.
We need a striker badly, this current side has absolutely no finishing ability, apart from Gerrard perhaps, who has not been given a good chance yet. Our defence and midfield were carved open a few times, but so were theirs. Intense game.

Chelsea are a shower of absolute ****in scum.

[Kenneth]

You must be ahead they are still on the pitch on my tv

[Fosterbloke]

We need to work on getting support to Sterling. We're a bit **** at bringing the ball forward and supporting each other.

[Chazza]

Good half.

Costa is a horrific cunt and shouldnt be on the pitch. Just get the feeling a dodgy decision will go against us. That or a shambolic set piece.

[danperkins]

Decent half just lacking a striker up top. Their keeper is just outstanding. Pace of the game is insane. Lucas has been outstanding. Need to snuff hazard out somehow, he's given henderson and Can a bit of a torrid time.

[badpiggy]

Top rant. Best game ever that one!

I was practically levitating with schadenfreude watching a nation's idiotic cheating Jesus-dreams go up in the most humiliating smoke I've ever seen in a football match. Germany You dream, ve crush it

[ChesterDave]

Costa - Stamp on Can, dive when challenged by Sterling after about 13 minutes, non-penalty so presumably Oliver thought Sktrel won the ball and the fall was natural not theatrical and for me, looked to have an aggressive shove on Can right at the end there when the ball was played across

[Rich]

Frustrating that we aren't clinical in front of goal. Good half though.

[CJ]

I remember when you used to be fun

I think.

[CJ]

Half time thread is late again I see CeeJay

Corrected

[Boogs]

Rotherham beating Bolton 3 nil

[ChesterDave]

I'm not sure Courtois was completely in his box Niall.

I'm not sure either. But then I'm convinced this happens 10+ times a game.

Its pretty stupid for the GK to push their luck like that. I'm sure they could kick it as far as they do without nicking an extra 2 yards

[brightred]

Good half from us.

Going to be a long second half!

[danperkins]

Costa really is an absolute cretin. So lucky ref didn't see that stamp. Sturridge couldn't come back sooner, we are creating so many chances but just not finishing them off. The keeper is world class but we really should be two or three up in this tie.

Some of gerrards passing has been outstanding.

[Rigadon]

Excellent first half from us. Lucas and Henderson have won the midfield battle. Defence has looked comfortable (apart from the one time Sakho tried to play too much football). Courtois making a couple of very good saves. Costa lucky not to be sent off. Ivanovic rattled. Mourinho twitchy. More of the same please.
