If anyone is stupid enough to offer £100m for Enzo Fernandez and we don’t accept it, I will be concerned. I don’t think we will regret it at all. He’s basically playing as a number 10 for 3 seasons and yes whilst his goals and assists have been meaningful contributions the last 18 months, for this so called all round top midfielder we were supposed to be getting, definitely not shown that enough and when he has played deeper, games just pass him by far too much. I get his performance today was good but he doesn’t do this often enough to warrant this status he seems to get. He was arguably a huge part of one of the worst midfield performances I have ever seen against Brighton in contrast as well as multiple poor performances throughout the season where teams just run over him. The interim coach can blow smoke up his arse to the end of time but he has shown time and time again over the course of the last few seasons he doesn’t really have it in him to perform at the highest level. He isn’t ever going to be a world class player. In an oversaturated transfer market to get close to what we paid for him is a massive win. He isn’t going to go to Man City or Real Madrid and become a world class player all of a sudden, not a chance.

Honestly an older head like Jose, Conte, even Tuchel is probably better suited than every manager we are linked with at present. Especially for this squad. Never mind tactics, its the personality we need to get right more so than anything else. They would tear strips off of these and boy do they need it. The fact Madrid are considering Jose isn’t a surprise, given the personalities in that dressing room and how their seasons finishing. Needs to bring a few of them back down to earth, ie Bellingham, Vinicius Jnr, Mbappe.

This group winning an FA cup would be nothing short of a miracle. But it would also further reinforce the delusion at ownership, board and sporting directors level that the project is working. Beating Leeds should really have been a foregone conclusion though. The fact nobody was entirely convinced before the game screams that there are huge, huge issues. European football at least. But still, wholesale changes are needed/coming. Hopefully for the better.

Are you sure? This does not say that: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Cup The winner of the FA Cup qualifies for the next season's UEFA Europa League. If the winner of the FA Cup has already qualified for a European competition, then the Europa League place goes to 6th or 7th place, depending on who won the Football League Cup.

Winners of the FA Cup automatically qualify for the EL. City are guaranteed a CL place, so the honour, win or lose, goes to us.

Tuchel looks like a hitman, lol and Egg Balti looks like he just did a bump of Bolivian marching powder off his left hand 🤡 J.J.

Wasnt one when Kepa was just nahhhhhh im not coming off! For Arsenal think we were favs. Leicester again favourites soooo this time we are definitely far far far from being that!!

How?

European football secured. Hate it or not, we need it for a number of reasons. About our final opponents..... We haven't beaten them since Porto. 😔

That was such a nightmare, losing two finals against fucking Liverpool, both by penalties, having like 2-3 goals chalked off by VAR.. Facing City in the final with interim coach, very much possible to be number seven.. But let's hope we win, if Ten Hag was able to do it so can we.

" they became the first team to lose three FA Cup finals in a row when losing to Liverpool in 2022 and have lost their last six domestic cup finals." This cant be number 7...

1. 2019-2020 2. Everton 3. 1-0

So BlueCo's Chelsea CAN beat the 15th placed team on the table. Hope those clowns up top don't take this to be a sign that Callum can manage this lot long-term. Making them double down on the idea that the manager doesn't matter. No doubt BlueCo will milk the hell out of this finals appearance. This FA cup run was almost easy as Arsenal's run in the Champions league this season.

great, now if only we could actually win the bloody thing that would be nice.

woot on to another Wembley final eeeeek

Booom....... And this time we are the under dogs!!!

Will Delap avoid a yellow today?

Joao Pedro was great today. If only he finished off that flowing team move. But it wouldn’t be Chelsea without some heart-in-mouth finish

This is a long 8 minutes

just hang on, do something right for a change.

Lavia coming off, did not see that coming. Maybe in his 4th season he will be able to complete 90 minutes at least once.

Sanchez asked to go down there?

Leeds looking more lively this half Its coming...

still 1 nil

Enzo was brilliant in that half
