Great game? Really? I know we won but lets not forget we were playing a championship side, it was typically a Chelsea performance, hard work made of a team we should be able to beat with ease.

And again, as usual, without Cole Palmer we would of been fucked.

Poch has to go come the summer.

In all fairness, if Sterling wasn't playing (as mentioned above), we'd probably be going into HT with a four goal lead. Poch needs to take him to wherever in the summer.

Midfield seemed far more balanced with Conor in the pivot with caicedo. I think he needs to play there more for the rest of the season. With Carney back we can have more rotation to keep the midfield fresh

Yeah, I agree... I just mean in general it was an end to end, good entertaining game, as a Chelsea fan it was as you say, a typical performance from us this season which is on Poch. But you can't say that wasn't a good game of football overall.

Got through but cannot see us beating either City or the Dippers. As for us, can I please get one game this season where we don't have one of Sanchez, Disasi, Caicedo or Sterling starting? All four need dropping for a good amount of time. 

Nahhh same and even if somehow get to the final we know how that goes..

[bluesman2610 1,417]

also for not scoring Jackson was really good today

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Good record in the cup 🤣 we've lost the last 3 finals we got to

True. But Leicester certainly had their moments and it could of been a loss. First half was good but as usual after HT we forgot to show up and what should of been a routine win is being heralded as some sort of monumental achievement but thats where we are.

I was always told the first thing you do is build the spine of the team  -goalkeeper, centre half ( halves) and centre forward. I give you Czech/ J.T/ Drogba. We now have no world class goalkeeper, no world class centre back ( since the demise of Thiago) and no world class goal scorer. We are totally reliant on Conor or Cole to spark the team and they are both young players who are still learning. Despite the money spent, we are too weak in key positions and until that is sorted we will remain a “bang average team “

The above is true.
Today Sanchez was more to blame then Disasi for the Leicester goal and we did n't have a truly world class c.f. since Diego.
Makes a huge difference if you have someone like Diego or Drog.
But the team is average because there is no system. Slow buildup. You did n't observe that today because it was an opponent from the championship, but we have n't got the ways to move the ball that City, Pool and Real Madrid have. About Arsenal I won't say anything because I have n't been watching a lot of Arsenal this year, but look at the way Real Madrid and City move the ball against organized defenses. You know they 're going to reach the box and create some sort of situation almost every time.
