Lol, they were ‘robbed’ now apparently, even though we were far the better team.

sportsnet commentators said the stellar opposite saying that we should have won by more than 2 goals given the chances we created ... English media is rotten !!! don't watch them !!! Better off with US, canada, aussie commentators as well as French or Arabic !!! Those UK mofos, so called pundits (c**tdits imo) make me sick !!!

Yes i do think we can win it. Even if we were a league 1 team, i would still believe we can win.

Rudiger was right, Conte goes defensive when we score, instead of going for the kill.

Depends on the performance on the day, I thought as a team we would spank Arse last season but it felt like we were still unlikely to win even if their dodgy goal was ruled out.

But taking into equation Conte's baffling decisions in subs and formation I'd have to say United have an edge with Jose in charge, the man knows how to win finals.

Not just tactics but then today was even worse taking off one of our best attackers in Willian and putting on one of our worst players to stuff the midfield, all against a team facing relegation.

I think the best way to win the final is basically to keep it 0-0 until injury time then score.

i think we've a good chance, playing United probably suits us better than had we come up against Spurs 

Completely forgot about the friendly over at Emirates today. Gooners beat the Hammer reportedly.

i'm gonna admit i am not that confident given conte's history of cups. last season was abysmal against a poor arsenal team too. jose is the opposite in cups. i really hope we turn them over and lift the cup though. 

Give it a rest with this "injustice" bollocks BT. Even if that goal was allowed, it would have been 1-1 with us creating all of the chances still.

Dude relax, Bakayoko some weeks back was frozen out of the team completely cus his confidence was shot totally, you can see Conte is featuring him bit by bit so he can get some confidence and mojo back. As long as we are winning games, he can play some parts, everyone deserve second chance, things like this happen even in our normal workplaces.

Baka is told to stand out on the left which is the equivalent of a workplace telling you to not come in

Clearly not today, we were a bit shambolic at the back after we scored the first one. If that is defensive, I hate to see attack minded.

Well Chelsea started created chances because the game opened up and Southampton had to go for it, if it went to 1-1 they would have just sat back again.

Defensive is when you bring on a defensive midfielder and change shape, sit back and let the opposition have the ball and counter. That is going more defensive but we was always going to create chances on the counter.

Typical of them, they were ‘robbed’, despite the referee making the correct decision, in line with the rules of the game. It’s really not rocket science, though it is to them apparently, even Lamps is at it unfortunately.

Edited April 22, 20188 yr by Floyd25

It's not even a hard decision, it's clearly a foul. Austin jumps INTO the keeper, he didn't jump for the ball. Austin knows what he is doing, he's not looking to play the ball, he's looking to nudge the keeper to put him off. 

The stuff in the studio is bullsh*t, even from Lampard. These same people would be perfectly happy with an outfield player getting a penalty for a tiny touch, they can't get upset when the keeper isn't given the same treatment.

With Mourinho being defensive it could make for a good final.

When Conte brought on Baka for Willian, it was a defensive tactical move. 

Graham Poll confirms decision not to grant a goal is text book application of the rules of the game.

Conversation becomes, “rules are wrong and should be changed”.

Ha ha, brilliant. 

We still won, so f**k em. 

The pundits, ex footballer by the way, are basically saying obstruction isn't a foul. The same people that would moan if they didn't get a penalty given their way for a tiny touch. Gerrard has no room to talk, that twat won many penalties from the most minimal contact. He would go down if a players laces caught him.

I know. I was being cynical based on our performance after the "defensive" change.
