Carling Cup Final

[Tribute]

Chavs likely to score if they get chances like that again in second half. We need a change in midfield, missing Thiago so so much…

Diaz looks immense, Mane fluffing his chances and Mo looks out of sorts. Full of running but down blind alleys, giving the ball away or misplacing the final pass.

Watch him score the worldie winner now… [emoji12]

Trent and Diaz have been our best players attacking wise. Diaz's control of long balls while under pressure is simply tremendous.

[dizzycat]

They are using the tactical fouling really effectively. Stops our most dangerous attacks. They seem happy to let us have the ball wide.

Chelsea ****housing over that Keita challenge. Azpilicueta is a right snide little cunt.

He’s the cunt of all cunts. Constantly in the refs face trying to get opposition players booked or sent off. Payback will be bitch for him

[Fosterbloke]

I think Jota would be better suited operating in a packed defence like Chelsea's. Diaz looks like he's been playing for us for years - what an excellent signing!

I think we're taking too many touches in the box and not being a bit more greedy. Mane certainly could have had a shot when he tried to play in Salah with the header toward the end.

Keita always seems to be surprised at the physical aspect of English teams, he could be better if he anticipated that better otherwise our midfield are having a decent game.

Our defence is looking good but we're getting cut open a bit, Chelsea have excellent passers and seem to be finding just the right angle to get in behind us. I worry if they bring on Lukaku but perhaps that will diminish the ball carrying aspect of their game.

I still think we can edge this but it will take a couple of subs to make it happen.

[Buzzo]

The layoff from Mane to Keita for the first part of that chance was sublime.

[dizzycat]

I was glad we tweaked the midfield positions after that initial blitz Need to avoid individual errors second half and hope the pressure and possession gets us the win.

Tight and edgy as expected…… they look dangerous on the break. Salah not in the game, need to get more to him but Diaz looks lively. Mane has good movement but loses the ball a bit too much

Ref driving me crazy - Azpi should’ve been booked and they seem to be getting all the marginal calls.

Ref is really frustrating

[BobTheCharmer]

Mo needs to step it up for me. Diaz and Mane have been a lot more involved. Manes effort is relentless today. I think Henderson looks a bit off it, not terrible but just not quite at the races. Couple of flicks he didn't need to do either. As usual when these two play, It'll be a toss of a coin who wins. Nervous.

[Exiled_red]

Another really good chance for Chelsea

[Exiled_red]

How is that not a foul

[Exiled_red]

Chelsea hit the post, another let off

[danperkins]

Wake up ffs

[spud_gun]

3 sitters Chelsea have missed

[Rafa Justice]

Should be two goals down
