Always liked Mark Robins, being an ex Canary. Always surprised he never went back there.

I wish we could have kept Simms 


Him and Shanks we’d be very close to the OF!

Simms just loves cup Semi's and Finals... hopefully scores a belter at Wembley

Past them by I would say what a duo up front they would make.

What a match I really enjoyed it and well done Ellis Simms. Thought the commentary was really good as well.

I turn the volume of when Lucy Ward or Robbie Savage on the commentary team. Always like listening to Coisty.

Exactly. Those high level power brokers trying to bring about a super league need to watch games like this. That was more riveting than countless champions league games put together. Some of those trying to change the set up just don't understand football. Entertainment plus watching that today

Scores twice: numerous chances: sets up winner and not MOTM?  Go figure

Big half hour coming up for Pochetinno here. Lose this from 2-0 up and I can see him under huge pressure.

That freekick from Sterling 🤣

As bad as I’ve ever seen.

30’ right of the goal 

40’ over the goal

🤦🏻

Astonishing free kick attempt by Sterling. 

 

Top corner

Sterling is awful.

Awful and a massive ego are a bad combination.

I always thought he was overrated at City.  The assist apart he’s been brutal today.  Embarrassing attempts at penalty, one on one with keeper and that free kick.  For a supposedly elite level footballer I don’t think he can actually strike a football properly.  Even the goals he scores tend to be sclaffy tap in types.

Gusto and Palmer are the only two good Chelsea players. It's staggering the shambles the Americans have overseen

I wouldn’t even say these Chelsea players are underperforming, despite the price tags this does just look like a mid-table team

That's the frightening thing...they're not off form, they've just genuinely signed an army of dross.

Barely deserve that. But they'll lose at Wembley to City, Liverpool (again) or Utd anyway.

He's always had the look of a preening, prima donna.

He's always been crap with one on ones. I forget which year it was but he must have had around 8-10 of them playing for England over a few games and failed everytime.

 

Got to the point that you knew he would not score.

 

File him alongside Grealish as ridiculously overrated.

 

If Chelsea win this Cup I'll eat my Hearts baseball cap.

Another goal for McTominay. It’s mad that so many people can’t see that Man Utd are a better team with his in the side.

I think it’s mainly their armchair support not thinking he’s flashy enough. Anyone who understands football understands that a player who will dig you out of a hole with big goals is a player worth keeping

It amazed me that for so long both his managers at Man Utd and Stevie Clarke were playing him as a defensive midfielder when he clearly has such an ability to time his runs into the penalty area and hit the back of the net.

Indeed - and says a lot for McTominay that he was happy to play there even though he must have been pretty frustrated at not having a much more attacking role knowing what he could contribute.

Yeh, I've got a lot of time for McTominay. Seemed emblematic of the switch to where players actually seemed to want to represent the national team.

Should have made it 2-0. Massive moment in game.

Yellow for Gomez but looked like a red to me. Totally reckless.

Didn't bother with the Man City game but the other 3 games have been absolutely brilliant.
