That Leicester game. lol Will be moved to a few days later.

Let's hope southampton somehow manages to get through. would be so annoying to play leicester twice within days.

Anyway the fa cup date is terrible in our fixture lsit. We play the Real, Man City, Arsenal, FA Cup final and then Villa in a space of 18 days. crazy. This phase will decide our season. some of our players looked knackered today already. Lets hope TT knows when to rest which players.

Which players really? We don't have regular starting 11. We just beat City without Chris, Mendy, Kovacic... Pulisic and Havartz also didn't start. I think under Tuchel Alonso and CHO have more minutes than Chilwell and James. Whoever he picks it does not hurt our quality on the pitch. Maybe only Rudiger and Azpi don't get rotated.

3 of Ziyech's 5 goals have been assisted by Werner, which is 1/3 (or 1/4) of his total assists.

Am sure when we bought them, we were expecting the assisting and scoring thing to be the other way round...

For sure but as long as the ball goes into the net and we win. Who cares who does what.

Although he went off slightly earlier, I still give my MOTM to Mount. He was fantastic once again. Constantly got fouled, however he always looked to make things happen and caused Fernandinho nightmares. His awareness is so good and he is always one step ahead. Love the way he receives the ball and just sharply turns away from an opposing player and leaves them in no man's land. Chilwell's performances getting a lot stronger again too. Had a fantastic game also as did rest of team.

What a win that was, Mount was sublime again.

How the ref didn't book Fernandinho is beyond me.

Poor old Azpi looked knackered at the end. 

He's been a consistently good player for us.

Why tf is Torres still getting marketed like he was a success?

[Milan 17,854]

This is after getting subbed

I don't know whether he is in pain or praying for the team on the pitch, but man, I keep saying it over and over again but this man is such a legend that breathes football. And a warrior. Fingers crossed he is fine to face Real Madrid.

I've been watching football a long time and that goal at Barca is right up there with the most exciting, memorable moments I've ever experienced  watching any sport, nevermind football and Chelsea. Let's not forget he also played a good part in winning   the EL as well.

While not a big success, those two significant contributions to two major trophies should not be overlooked.

Re Chilwell.

Think he's been average at best for much of the season, but i have to say I was impressed with him yesterday. Apart from that sitter he missed which was a bit eek!!!

Do not forget: HE WON CORNER IN FINAL!!!

110% certain Torres would've missed in penalties had he been selected. Remember the fit he threw?

Thank god for DiMatteo.
