Bison Report post Posted February 27 41 minutes ago, Leo91 said: Also coming off the bench you don't have the same alertness as someone who's been in the game for 120 minutes. The ONE time it's worked I've seen was Krul for Netherlands, they tried it again in the next round and lost. For some reason it's been a thing to bring on your ''penalty saving specialist''. If I was Mendy I would tell Tuchel that's the last time he's taking me off for a penalty shootout. He shouldn't accept that nonsense any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well said. I was surprised about the national anthem. Some said it here before the game but I thought "surely not?".

Jonny_CFC Report post Posted February 27 12 minutes ago, Mark Kelly said: Well , other than the Ukraine business which apparently is entirely down to Roman , the match day team is , Kenny Dagleish's daughter , Ex Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher and Ex Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp and as a sot to us Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink. So it started with high fiving the Liverpool players as they were walking around the pitch , condemnation of the club over the statement , not showing proper VAR assessment proving two of our goals were onside and yucking it up about the Liverpool victory They neglected to mention the Liverpool supporters booing the national anthem or setting off flares so all in all it had all the tropes of a Chelsea versus anyone game , they despise us and make no attempt to disguise the fact . Sounds about right. I wonder if fans of other clubs notice the bias like we do? It’s probably more noticeable to us as it’s often so blatantly anti Chels so we spot it more easily. But surely fans of other clubs must see it as well? How can it be right to have such a heavily one sided set up for a final? Having said that I don’t watch sly sports anymore as I can’t stomach it lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny_CFC Report post Posted February 27 19 minutes ago, Ham said: How they managed the lines on this one I don't know. He's onside. Look at the feet and they're both leaning forward. The other one is difficult to show but they paused the footage before the cross came in. A split second later the defender ran back. Mmm so yet more examples of var decisions going against us when playing them. Have we actually had one close var decision go our way when playing them? They set the tone when they disallowed that Mount goal a couple of years back, rewinding the play 5 minutes to find a foul lol I can’t this nonsense seriously anymore, ruining the enjoyment of the game.

Everyonesallowedanopinion Report post Posted February 27 The only good thing was that they've played us three times and haven't beaten us once this season, I would go as far as saying , that they won't want to draw us in the CL, if we have a full squad we won't lose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
