The fact that no one on the team tried to talk to kepa during the incident shows the lack of leadership in the squad atm. I cant imagine JT letting this incident evolve into what it became

Good performance. Something to build on, I guess.

The club must take action against Kepa, fine a week's salary ri whatever, that cannot go unpunished.

Oh and no more penalties for Jorginho!

Yeah, but not a weeks salary though. He needs to be kicked out of the club

Kepa has actually made a save and gave the team a chance to win penalties.

It's the f**king numpty Jorginho treating the shootout like a f**king joke.

 

Very proud of the team and the manager today. Big improvement.

I'm sure Kepa will find himself a place on the bench for quite a while but I don't blame the intent in what he did.

Do you think Sarri might walk, he just lost a massive player struggle in front of millions, mutinous rat

If we had a leader on the pitch they should have spoken to Kepa. Terry would have picked him up and chucked him down the tunnel.

That was a very respectable performance and I don’t care about losing on penalties. We showed grit, kept a clean sheet and created good chances against a quality side. You think we’re finally turning the corner and then Kepa goes and does that. Who the f**k does this kid think he is?

I'd rather bring back Cudicini than play this dipsh*t !!! Fcuk him !!! I've never seen this BS in all of my life !!! Absolutely shameful from him !!! Somewhat glad he did not save more but unbelievably gutted since Caballero SHOULD HAVE PLAYED INSTEAD OF HIM !!!

It was ours to win up until Kepa's mutiny.

Hate losing in Finals 

Expected nothing and was delighted with the second half in particular. 

Kepa thinks he is better than he really is, not sure how it will play out for him but it makes us look like toby's.

At least we didn't get battered again.

i'm worried about the potential fall out from the Kepa thing - you can players taking different sides and if Sarri does drop him it could turn out like that time Jose dropped our doctor!

i think we could struggle to raise our game to that level again on Wednesday it's going to come round very quickly  

Great TEAM performance today... including Sari...

Ruined by the Goal Keeper... WTF was he doing/thinking...

Great, gutsy performance. “Bottlers”? Ffs!  I’ll just put that down to emotions running high.

Jorginho missed this one but the previous ones he made, it's harsh to say that he shouldn't take the penalty again.

Agreed.

I hate us losing in any game.

Why is our striker not taking a penalty?

Shattered watching that.

What was Kepa thinking about ?

Not angry, just disappointed 

Managed the game well and had chances to win it.

What happens next is anyones guess unfortunately. Such a sorry ending to a good display.

Well done to the team.

Can understand a young keeper wanting to stay on for a trophy, just bad leadership on and off the park.

Rudi was close to world class today I think he will keep growing, the young players did fantastic, Barkley showing in the second half moments of real quality, and throughout the game showed real mentality.

Lets hope we can have a plan B now we did it well today and it worked perfectly.

Dissapoinred with the result but very heartened by the performances

He probably bottled it. He has taken loads of pens,

Couldn't watch it today and sounds like a bit of craziness at the end, but it's very encouraging to read the reactions on here as it sounds like we're back to being one of the top sides in Europe. We sound as if there's nobody going to stop us wining the UEFA Cup and clinching 4th or quite probably 3rd. Credit to Sarri because he sounds to have fixed every problem except the goalkeeper in a week. I know I've missed the game but you guys have made me want to crack open a few beers and celebrate!!

If we won, Kepa/Sarri thing wouldn't matter much. But we lost and when you lose, all the good things tend to be forgotten, and when you win, all the mistakes are ignored, both for obvious reasons.

Kepa should have been removed from the pitch by senior players, it's embarassing that they allowed it to get to that point.

As for the performance, I'm actually proud of the team, it was terrific effort. Too bad, it ended in a loss, but these things happen.
