RE: CHELSEA THROUGH TO THE FA CUP FINALS. WEMBLEY, HERE WE COME
If only Edouard Mendy had converted the spot-kick.
Oh, if only. The fact that he was subbed off for Kepa who didn't make a save and missed the 22nd penalty in the shoot-out is something I'll always have a little chuckle at (sorry).
Perhaps if it goes to penalties in the final, they'll let Mendy have a go.
I thought that Crystal Palace might win this but Chelsea turned up in the 2nd half and were just too good. If Chelsea play like they did in the 1st half when they meet Liverpool, things won't end well for them!
Kepa, thanks for that. I guess you watched the game with Palace then. Too many back passes. Indeed, Tuchel would have observed that and would advise his team.
I was only half watching it so wasn't paying too much attention. Chelsea's 1st half was "pedestrian" and Crystal Palace were full of energy but perhaps overly cautious. Then Chelsea shifted up a gear without needing to play especially well and the 2nd half looked incredibly comfortable. If Chelsea play like that in the final, Liverpool will be very happy but I fully expect Chelsea to up their game.
Surely, we wouldn't want Liverpool to be happy, nevertheless very happy. I am expecting the same level of expertise Chelsea showed in the EFL Cup final with Liverpool.
I believe Chelsea could have killed the game even before extra time but we don't always have our way when the goal post is right before us, do we?
We just have to wait till May 14, to find out
Ha ha! I'm afraid that with so many of my family supporting Chelsea, I'd be happier if the Liverpool fans were happy 🤣
I was watching a video about Chelsea this morning (for my FPL team) and the team's currently finishing more chances than they should be (i.e. they're overperforming at the moment). Other than Timo Werner.
It is good to know that Chelsea is currently converting more chances than expected. I have always admired Timo even at his worse and always preferred he be given the chance to come of form. I have got high hopes for him
When it starts going his way, he'll be a true force to be reckoned with. If he does well against Arsenal tomorrow, he might be finding his way into my FPL team.
