Terrific first ten minutes after that we’ve been sh*te, think we’re losing this but hope I’m wrong

I hope we both are but from the sounds of things Arteta and Taylor have us playing in to their hands.

HT 1-1 and we're level despite looking shocking for most of that half.  We should kick on and win the game now as surely we can't perform like that in the second half as well.

Barkley to come on and score !

Yes Anthony Taylor is a bad joke 

We better get some compensation in the second half...

It is not the defence that is the major problem. We are neither winning or retaining the ball in midfield anywhere near enough.

I agree. I think we have four major problems.

1. The keeper

2. The defence

3. The midfield

4. The attack

Pulisic is very reminiscent of Hazard. One stand out player drowning in a sea of mediocrity.

Elbow In The Back Of Giroud From Luiz, No Free Kick, Ceballos Kicks Mount Free Kick And A Yellow, Absolute Joke

Arteta's tactics working better for the last 20 mins, Frank needs a plan B.

Mount unlucky with the yellow.

Thought Frank made a mistake not bringing on Kante when Dave went off and going 4-3-3

1st half was itself a tale of two halves - before the drinks break we were on top for the first 20 minutes, deserved lead and could have had another quite possibly, or more - but then for the second part after the drinks break, 25 minutes or so of being under the cosh, most painfully with the penalty, but pretty much the rest of the half after that too, disappointing. Really need a reaction and to get back on the front foot 2nd half, cmon' Chelsea!

I can’t blame the ref as he is not the one who keeps on playing the ball back to our back line to then be put under pressure all the time .

passing the Ball  forward more might help a little ,but we still have to fix what is going on down our RH side 

Needed this half time break badly.

Most of their attacks are either from silly fouls we give away or poor passes from the back. 

Time to earn your corn Frank. Substitutions will define this game.

Frank, Plan B....[emoji848] [emoji848] [emoji848] where have I heard that before.....

Taylor has always been a f**king idiot. I don’t understand why VAR doesn’t get involved in yellow cards, like that’s a two second job to say ‘you’ve got that wrong, it’s not a yellow’. Now if Mount gets a proper yellow card in the second half he’s off, but if it was a straight red it would be reviewed. It just doesn’t make sense. VAR should be such a straightforward thing and so effective. I just think the implementation of it by the FA has been absolutely woeful.

Ha. Yeh I am giving it the odd "oh FFS" tbh.

It’s far more than the odd FFS in my front room 

First change Jorgi off Kante on

Get Tammy in to run behind Luiz.

Ah I am dreading reading this thread carrying forward. Would be the third time in my time we would lose an FA cup final to this lot. Is why i would rather have played City in all honesty. Their focus is CL and we could have done them like we did in the league game.

It’s like Robson or Tyler said ceballos drug his own foot into mount then whines like he’s shattered his femur. No way it’s a yellow yet mason gets shoved blatantly off the ball and he gives a get up wave. Even the penalty was soft 

Rewatching this penalty on BBC just gets even worse. The softest penalty I've ever seen.

Stop passing back  -  the back line cant handle the pressure. No transition from the back forward

If Arsenal fans wanna moan saying Azpilicueta should have been off...

A foul on a running striker committed by the last man of the defence will no longer result in a direct red card and suspension, unless the foul is violent or consists in a hand-ballin the box. As long as the foul is judged to be an honest attempt at taking the ball, the defender will only be shown a yellow card.

 i think mount has been pretty weak in possession unfortunately we need our front players to carry this defense which is struggling to even hoof the ball beyond halfline... no impact from reece or alonso either.. Ref is a twat but we have been here before.. so we need to sort it out and respond.. 

I doubt we finish the game with 11 still on the pitch.

This punditry is beyond biased ffs
