Match Thread FA Cup Final - Chelsea v Leicester

[popillius]

Look at the faces on the Leicester supporters. They know it's over

Have you just seen Lako?

 

[Graz]

Cheer up you miserable buggers

We can definitely get better and have defended well so far

Nacho is playing deeper which isn't helping him today. Maddison coming on will help Nacho push further up.

We're going to win this

 

[Orifice]

This is the worst I've ever seen us play in an FA Cup Final.

We're gonna get better.

 

[Graz]

Fofana is gonna score today

 

[Graz]

This is the worst I've ever seen us play in an FA Cup Final.

Really? It's the best I've seen

 

[parafox]

Again, where is the deflection

 

[Orifice]

Corner for City surely....

 

[Jeff]

Happy with 0-0 at half time. We're usually better in the second half.

 

[popillius]

Again, where is the deflection

Well it hit him. So.....

 

[parafox]

Well it hit him. So.....

I'm in an "every decision should be ours" mood.

Thank **** we haven't conceded.

Well it's not been great but at least we're still level. Tielemans has been great and Luke Thomas has been impressive. Nacho has had a nightmare and really needs a kick up the arse at half time..

 

[Graz]

Cagey first half. Chelsea had more in our third but not much in it really.

We wil improve still.

Worried about defence without Evans but Maddison could make a huge difference in the last 30 mins here.

Stay in this. I think the game plan is probably going okay from Rodgers perspective. Just need to take chances as they come to us, which they will

 

[homer]

Game is tailor made for James Maddison to come on and win this

 

[tedfoxxx]

That was horrible.

Nacho is having to come too deep cos Perez isn't in the 10 role where I assume he should be.

Nacho needs someone supporting from midfield for. I've said it time and time again but Nacho's strength is in quick one twos and close plays etc. If that's not happening in the last thrid, he comes deeper to try that.

Perez playing properly as a 10 would get Nacho further up

 

[Feriol]

We have looked nervous, understandable I suppose. Surprised we a are playing so direct, not sure if that's the plan, or nerves but we need to trust our midfield more if we are to get a grip on the game.

 

[Graz]

Yes Homer!

I don't buy all the spaffing that the commentators have been having on bbc over chelsea. It's a typical cup final where they've probably won the stats and the XG but We've had the better chances. Finals are either nervy for both sides or 1 gets a bumming by 20mins. **** me it wasn't very one sided when i saw us beat Tranmere.

Agree, especially as Perez is the only player to have found any space but isn’t good enough to do much with it.

We’re really missing Barnes today. The passing is so off that we just need one player who can put their head down and run with it.

Cags and Nacho have been shite, by the way
