Think Conte has being telling DD to shoot more by the looks of it.

Nah I think he's the only one who does long shots anyway. Baka tried it and won't be trying anytime soon

Nice to see Danny take a shot from outside the box, more of that please.

Like I just said...that is a reference to the lower tier and not the rest of the stand, which is also almost empty.

My guess is they adjusted everyone to seats elsewhere and closed off the away stand. Less resource cost as well

Feel like the only thing I'll miss from Michy are his tweets

Don't see why we would almost sell out Nottingham Forest in the league cup but not Norwich in the FA cup.

I know it's a strange one, but there are people in the stand so can't be safety issues or another reason like that.

Makes sense but hard to believe as the rest of the stadium is full, unless the number were that perfect. 

Very bizarre as I never seen SB failing to sell out

Poor freekick from Willian, technique was all wrong.

I would have shot better

Batshuayi is bad

BATMAN what are you doing?

Dan did mention there were empty seats everywhere but mostly in away stand. Not that hard to relocate a few people in the upper tier.

omfg Bats

There are a few fans in the top tier - to the left as you look, so they would still need to steward and police the stand, so not sure how they cut costs.

Cant sugar coat this,we are sh*te,and this XI costs hundreds of millions, just shows how bad our transfers have been

Brainless from Batshuayi. Stuff like that has been happening too often with us of late, it's like we don't know how to play with the ball in our own half.

Bats can pass

Get that useless f**kers batshuyai of the pitch now the f**king idiot. 

Bats' mind is in Spain. 

His first touch is worse than Lukaku, can never kill the ball dead. 

Jermaine Jenas is so biased

Yeah they must have known. It's s massive trip on a Wednesday from Norwich so you can understand why they didn't sell their allocation.

You really should stop beating round the bush and say what you actually mean...

Norwich were allocated 6000 tickets for the game. That's near the full capacity of the Shed. They didn't sell anywhere near the full allocation (price seems to have been an issue) and, I'm guessing here, what with this being a replay there wasn't time to return the tickets to Chelsea so they could sell to home fans.

I'll drive bats to Spain myself if we can get something agreed. 

Batsman is so out of his depth.. it's not that he can't he even play well against Norwich it's that he can't play in the Chelsea team he's simply not up to it, the speed of the balls into him and the speed of teammates running off the ball he simply can't execute what he no doubt desperately wants to but his brain and body just can't concentrate, focus, react, stay composed and execute nearly quickly or accurately enough.
