If we stay with a back 3 nope. Since Tommy came in hes been immense.

Did we not concede one against Real Madrid in the first leg?

Yeah hes talking about the wins

 

[chef]

Another huge win. Tuchel is a genius.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

This team is something else, Community shield winners Conti cup winners, FAWSL winners, CL finalists. Sam Kerr with the golden boot which you just love to see. The mentality of this team and Emma Hayes is something else, idk if anyone saw her interview straight after winning the title but it just highlighted how insanely driven this group is! Looking forward to the Barca game, hopefully we'll see a quadruple!!!

 

[Loonerty]

Absolutely unreal from the ladies.

Let's hope we can do the first ever Champions League double!

 

[Loonerty]

Couple of frustrating stats:

 

[chef]

After last week this is so deflating

 

[Thistle]

Not too concerned by that performance, especially if it means we lift a trophy this weekend. We were the better team bar one mistake and a lack of finishing. Really liking Tuchel's honesty with what he says and appreciated that he took most of the blame.

Top 4 is still in our hands and if United can get a result against Liverpool I think we'll secure it comfortably.

Very embarrassing to be Arteta's bitch. We would've pretty much sewn up top 4 with a win but now there's some pressure again. If United can beat Pool, that should be enough but a win will make it squeaky bum time for us.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Not an ideal result this morning at all. The upcoming games against Leicester are both huge. One was already big with a trophy at stake but now the other is top hold onto top 4. All in our hands.

 

[Loonerty]

The last two FA Cup finals have not been kind to us at all.

Last year, Kovacic sent off for being trod on by Xhaka, Pulisic injured, Azpi injured.

This year, concede a screamer which only comes about because it hit someone's hand (but by the rules isn't considered handball) and a bees dick offside call by VAR.

 

[Loonerty]

These last 3 games have to be the best 11, with Christensen and Kovacic back that helps.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

A goal should never ever be called offside for that. Absolutely shocked.
Offside should really be for a clear difference between defender and fwd.

 

[chef]

Those last 2 games have knocked my confidence for 6. Just havent cone to play.

Lose again this week and it'll all fall apart.

They’ve called those ones all season, I don’t like it either but at least that’s consistent, still think it needs to be looked at come end of season and things like hands or arms shouldn’t be offside as you can’t score with them.

I’d say benefit of doubt should go with the offside player but then you get these ridiculous penalties awarded each week which heavily favours the attacking side

 

[Thistle]

Yeah my last post in here no longer stands. Nervous now.

Mendy back in goals too is needed.

I don't particularly agree with the "if Mendy was in goal then he would've saved it" thing.
I think Kepa did well to get as close as he did. Who's to know if Mendy would a) have had the same positioning or b) the same reaction time.

If he had both of those, then yes. But that's still a decent assumption, Tielemens hit the ****ing cover off that.

Agree it was an incredible strike and would have been one of the greatest saves of all time if any keeper kept it out.

True, they have been consistent on it all season which is good. I recall Werner vs Liverpool had the same tight call against him.
Agreed next season go with benefit of the doubt for those tight calls, prefer goals.

 

[Loonerty]

This has been the weekend from hell for Chelsea fans.

Lose to Arsenal from a one in a thousand mistake, hit the bar twice.

Lose FA cup final to an absolute screamer which only happens because it hits a Leicester player's arm, equaliser ruled out by crazy tight offside call.

Women get trounced in CL final.

And then to top it all off our top 4 rivals win with a 95th minute goal from their ****ing keeper.

Ridiculous.

 

[chef]

All Tuchels great work is now falling apart. Sadface.

Just ridiculous how one weekend has made such a dent.

But we can beat Leicester and Villa. That's all we need.
