Semenyo available to buy & we go after gittens & Garnacho..... We're just after Temu rated players instead of stars!...ffs

We could have bought Cherki too

Same old rubbish. Players completely bolloxed after 70 mins. sh*t players breathing out of their arses. This will never change all the time you buy second rate weak players and then let them cheat from running and care of the ball. Every. Single. Fking. Match.

They will be f**ked under Alonso if we get him. He likes to play quicker football, which means more running. This lot, who get outrun by everybody, will probably down tools like Real Madrid's lot did.

An improvement given our performances so far but still work to be done

What improvement? This lot are no strangers to turning up when they want to. It’s over the course of the season that is the biggest issue.

It’s another final defeat where they looked gassed after the 70th minute. Carbon copy of the league cup final under Poch.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY GUSTO GETS MINUTES FOR US, ANYONE?

And to think Bayen Munich wanted him at the start of the season

Gusto was mostly good today, questionable crosses included.

We didn't play badly, I wouldn't say city deserved to beat us, but after their goal it looked like we gave up, just horrendous mentality. Hopefully Alonso comes in and instils a bit of bottle into these soft sh*ts.

Our mentality "expert" needs to be out the door as well as our owners and our directors of "football" ... he's made zero difference to this squad's mentality.

We kept them honest but we're just not good enough and seem to lack any chemistry going forward.

This squad needs a good clearing out in the summer.

The players did put in effort TODAY. But as we know, it was too little and too late for this season.

They looked to the bench and they had players - good players - we looked to the bench and we had Delap and Garnacho.

These experts are frauds. You can't teach players to have strong mentality, they either develop it from an early age or don't have it at all.

I dont think hes coming, But if Alonso does rock up and is allowed to pick the team then he likes 3-4-3, Colwill, Hato and one other, maybe James could be the back 3

How are you watching this and deciding a back 3 is the way forward? We offered nothing in the final third.

To add to this.

Pedro, Palmer and Enzo. Our attacking three.

ZERO shots on target.

Wonder what William says to the Chelsea players

"You're s*it" "You're s*it" "you're s*it" "you're not too bad" "you're s*it" "you're getting sold" 😆

Never been so detached from football. This team sucks the joy from me at every turn.

Hard to take plus points from a cup final defeat.

Glass half full

Colwill is quality

Hato has improved immensely towards the end of the season

James gives us stability

We didn’t get battered

There isn't a single player I'd be sad to see leave. Not one.

Defensively of course compared to our last few games.

Don't think i agree with your gassed assessment, we were mostly in control towards the end and had them pinned back just lacked quality in the final third which was the case from min 1.

Taking James away was bad move for Garnacho, should have brought in Santos and move James to right back for Gusto. Delap is a donkey should never get any game for Chelsea.

They’ve had a week to plan a defensive game and fielded 5 defenders. They couldn’t have been any worse.

“Control” isn’t a word I’d use, at all. Especially with no shots on target from any of our attackers.

You can’t win if you don’t attack we literally sat back waiting to be beat. The mentality of this team is on the floor.

We did it under Conte, so some will raise their game and some will go.

Keep seeing people talking about playing well (at least before they scored). Never once looked like we were going to score or that we were really trying to, you can't win cup finals with that mentality.

The thing that annoys me, as has annoyed me most of the season is there was never any desperation. When these players experience hardship, they just sulk and sink into themselves. It's reflected in the stats with these being the laziest players in terms of running in the league.

In the pre-match discussion on BBC they were saying our players' long contracts encourage them to coast. If they were on the usual 2 year contract they'd feel under greater pressure to perform

Hope Palmer doesn’t play for us again this season, absolute dog sh*t

Pedro isolated with Cucurella being the only player near him. Palmer and Enzo having to recycle it back. Gusto and Cucurella offering zero attacking width with any efficiency.

I've been reminded of just how much I hate a back 3.

Oh well folks. At least we've got the Eurovision Song contest to look forward to eh?

I've got the Prosecco out
