Tbf its a tight call. Its not as bad as some of the ones we’ve seen this season where folk are well off. Your right though he could probably wait a split second or notice hes potentially in a tight offside position but I suppose chasing a goal and being a fullback, he’s probably thinking fuck it I am in here and with the Leicester fans booing him scoring a goal would of been a huge fuck you to them.

I think its not going to change the fact he’s made a big impact in the last 4 months tbf. He can argue the team is lacking consistency or clinical finishing, which it is and as well we could also argue that without him arguably we could have been a lot worse off than in the running for top 4 and having made 2 finals.

But hes still offside? His starting position is offside? The rule is vague but the screenshot/image they’ve showed it looks the right call.

Its his shoulder/arm. Cant even dispute it. Aye the rules a bit vague and makes no sense but hes still offside.

Hopefully Tuchel goes through him and the other attackers. Theres times to be nice and put an arm around someone but the attackers were anonymous today and in a game of fine details its not acceptable to be anonymous. Even Mount faded after 25 minutes. Why can we get up for 2 CL semis against Real Madrid but not a final v Leicester? Mentality isnt right

Aye it is a ball hair offside. Lets be honest we didnt deserve it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 so it begins Anyway. Hopefully Tuchel delivers some home truths in the dressing room. Aye Alonso was a questionable start but the front players did nothing and neither did the wingbacks. Looked beat in the second half before Leicester even scored. Finals are decided by small details. Questionable offside (looked like a ballhair was in it) and the handball for their goal although I would think it would be harsh to have given it either way but aye why did it take to around the 75th minute for us to start playing again? He will probably be harsh on himself as he was v Arsenal and West Brom but its now time to see if he goes for some of the players who were anonymous in attack. And if he does how they react.

Would say if Kepa had fucked up or done anything wrong maybe warranted questioning his selection but again instead of criticising players who played poorly, mainly all the attackers, you go after the GK who did nothing wrong all game 😂 ”Can’t command the backline?” How many chances were in that game 😂? Swear some of yous are on the wind up, genuinely cannot be that stupid to go after a GK who did nothing wrong when every attacker who started was poor and we didnt create any big chances. Why are people complaining about the GK though? We didn’t lose because of the GK. Did you pair even watch the game or because we conceded and Kepa starts its automatically his issue/fault? I swear 2 losses and the idiots have come out the woodwork.

True but the starting 11 picked was good enough to win that final as it was with the Arsenal game. Just piss poor. As you said nothing game really in terms of chances, they upped it second half though playing better and get a world class goal.

Aye they’ve deserved it second half. Big big test now on Tuesday. Fine margins, wonder goal and a shit offside call. But performance second half wasn’t there. Players must take majority of the blame, team selection either way we had enough on the pitch there. The drop off from first to second half was abysmal. Abysmal. First half wasn’t great either.

Whats Reece doing fucking hell 😂

Massive. Massive goal. Dont you fucking dare VAR. How can they say thats offside? Fuck me.

If we get an equaliser we are going to break them. Cmon boys... Holy fuck what a save. That was the chance

Second half has been very bad. The first half wasn’t amazing but typical cup final half. Havertz and Hudson-Odoi now last roll of the dice. Still 15 minutes and we have got Hudson Odoi, Havertz, Werner, Mount, Pulisic all on so we have to be better now. Great play Kante.

Its an absolute top top hit, the speed of the ball and aye its not right in the postage stage but its about as close to the top corner as most of those sort of strikes usually are. Not as if its like a yard or two either side of the centre or the goal. Really going to have to agree to disagree, honestly wouldn’t of mattered who was in the net, nobody was saving that. Can’t believe its even a consideration but suppose its another reason now for people to hammer Tuchel for team selection after the game.

Mendy would of saved it? Really? Some of you are on one 😂 Could have put 2 GKs in the one goal and they probably weren’t saving that.

That is an unbelievable goal. Wow. James poor pass to start with. Kante doesn’t get back in and nobody closes the ball. Nobody saving that 😂

Need to step it up. Dropped off and Leicester have stepped up.

Nothing worse than someone who is thinking impartiality due to a personal relationship with said person, getting above their station over social media, when they probably have no interest in football other than the fact her man is a footballer... should stick to doing what 3/4s of these young footballers GFs do, stick to posting photos in bikinis and of the expensive shoes/clothing you clearly didn’t work for 😂 football 100% isnt their forte.

First half hasn’t been great but the folk posting train wreck/disaster/whatever else need to take a day off 😂 All finals are cagey games, there havent been any clear cut chances, quite frankly I think Leicester have been worse than us going forward bar that Tielemans pass for Vardy which Reece is in a great position to cover. Didnt expect much else really. Personally thought Leicester would be better. A goal in that first half would of been perfect for us.

Evans off. Albrighton on? They going to play a back 4? Or put a wingback in their back 3? Either way its an advantage for us. Evans is the glue in that backline.

Should have got that in the net. Playing well so far. More intensity than Arsenal game for sure.

Benfica return? To join Vertonghen and Otamendi? Golden oldies reunion 😂

Tbf the corner stats are difficult to gauge the accuracy from because whilst it indicates poor balls in it also indicates our weakness in attacking corners, which have been horrific for years lets be fair. Even under Sarri who was apparently someone who had devised multiple different corner kick routines that worked well at Napoli. It didn’t work out that way here. Bar Zouma, Giroud and maybe Rudiger we lack players who attack the ball well also I think. Maybe you can throw Alonso, Christensen or Silva in there at a push, particularly Christensen - he has won a lot of headers from offensive corners since returning from Mochengladbach but quite frankly is horrendous at putting them on target/in. I mean I don’t think he has scored a goal for us yet and hes had some big free headers in seasons gone by. He scored 7 goals in 2 for Mochengladbach so obviously they’ve probably came from corners/free kicks due to his position and you can see he can win them at times in either box but I tend to remember hes had a few over the seasons that hes failed to put on target that you would expect him to do so. Thats why players like Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Drogba, Alex were huge bonuses from set pieces because they’d probably each get between 3-5 goals over the course of a season from them. Obviously the delivery was better also when you consider some of the guys putting them in but I think having guys like Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech, Jorginho, Kante, we are never going to be that prolific from corners anyway because 75% of the teams in the PL are considerably bigger. I suppose this is fine if the games going well and your getting results but also frustrating because set plays can decide games as we’ve seen over the past and also last season the amount of set play goals we conceded was shambolic. Marcos Alonso and Giroud don’t play regularly and neither does Zouma really so either way, taking corners if the ball is good or not, the likelihood of scoring from them is incredibly slim because we don’t make the first or second contact enough due to the difference in size/players who are strong at attacking the ball. Although Zouma has got a fair few this season from them, which also highlights his strength in the opposition box. There has been a lot of poor deliveries that don’t clear the first man or the Gk claims but it also probably doesn’t tell the whole story.

Aye it seems any loss is a crisis. Im not surprised though, we lose the cup v Leicester there will be folk calling for Tuchel to get sacked next 😂
