Starts!
Morata not even on the bench.
Still no sign of Cahill.
Come on Chelsea!
They don’t come much bigger than a semi final at Wembley against one of our biggest rivals and one of the best sides in Europe at the moment.
Statement performance would be great from the lad, make himself un-droppable
Fair half from him tbf.
He didn’t do himself any harm that’s for sure, just a shame for him he’s had no centre forward to aim for all night and then we bring one on, and it’s in place of him!
The mind boggles, it really does
Especially when you look at his deliveries for Morata on Saturday. Should have had Giroud on for Willian.
Don’t get me started on Willian...or Pedro, for that matter. Throw Alonso into that, as well, and there is the three players that would not be in my starting eleven. I would sell all three at the soonest possible.
Can’t disagree with the starting XI comments at the moment. Alonso has been off it for a few games. Though Ross was off the pace tonight too. We just don’t seem to have a plan B never mind a plan C and Jorginho flatters to deceive.
Genuinely worried about our next couple of years although I accept Sarri hasn’t had a transfer window yet but I would not be letting Cesc go.
We still haven’t replaced Costa
I get that yesterday Morata was unavailable and Giroud didn't have 90 minutes in him, at least that is what we are told, but it is baffling that Giroud then comes on for CHO, I am still very dubious about Sarri.
Because he wanted to go from a false 9 to a striker. One of either hazard or CHO had to be subbed. Unless bringing off Pedro, who'd already been subbed on. So the correct call imo. But it should have been Giroud on earlier instead of Pedro and gone with hazard-Giroud-CHO for half hour. But I guess we don't know how fit Giroud was.
