FA Youth Cup Final - tonight at 730pm against Man City, again

Hope its as good a game as our SF and we don't run out of steam like we did in that one. 

 
Terrible defending... And loads of sloppy passing today. Not like Chelsea at all.. 

 
Not playing well to be honest. Can’t complain if they lose playing like this. Man City better with the ball. 

 
Sad times. I think Bate looked fantastic, I’ll be keeping an eye on him. Rankin was hugely disappointing for me though.

 
Decent effort and game overall.  I think Cuty were the better side, and we gave up too much in the middle late on (see their 3rd goal).  Anjorin the stand out player for us

 
Think if Anjorin was fit enough to play the full 90, it’s a different game. Chelsea made too many mistakes in possession at both ends of the pitch

 
Can play much better than they did tonight, piss poor performance, at their best they win that, maybe a step too far mentally for this group, but they’ll get there. Simeu was very poor and usually very good, unfortunately looked a bag of nerves tonight. 

 
That miss at the end was shocking as well tbf, just wasn’t meant to be.

Thought a lot of them were off it. Bate got better longer game went on, took too long for players to get their foot on it though and play through him. livramento was always a threat, Marcel got his goal/s...Anjorin looked best player on the pitch once he came on. Too many others didn’t cut it

Has this ref given chelsea a free kick yet?

No complaints about the result. Not a great performance and only Bate and Anjorin stood out for me.

The ref was fine, with one exception. In the four minutes of injury time he booked a City player for kicking the ball away/ time wasting. He blew for full time on 94:01 when we were on the edge of their box. So the time wasting actually benefited City.

I've said for years that time keeping should be taken out of refs' hands. They just cannot do it fairly or reliably, and players, managers and fans deserve better.

 
Check out the Barnsley highlights if some couldn’t catch the game today, some ridiculous goals on show, 8-1. ?
