The experiment into Trent cutting inside because of salahs ineffectual form has not worked.
In general though I think we just ran out of steam. You can't drag your way through a quad with no form for the last couple months.
That's bollocks. I suggest you watch that first half again.shame that, but we didn't really look at the races
dare I say it, the midfield carried thiago and he shouldn't start
Yep. People are going to moan about our players here now however but for Courtois we would have won. Two world class saves. Easy MotM choice.Courtois was the main difference between the teams, if it wasn't for him, we might have had two or three.
It's funny to be disappointed with a season where we won two cups, but there you go.

I remain doubtful about the indulgence shown to Trent in letting him roam into the midfield. He has a penchant and clear ability for the spectacular long pass, but his short passing is just poor. Plus it takes away so much of our width when we are already facing parked buses.
A total downer but the fans and players deserve a parade - we still won the FA Cup (which traditionally gets a parade) and the rest of the season has been immense bar today when we ran out of steam and Courtois had an incredible game.What a shit way to end the season. So close but so far.
May be a bit too early to say it but having a parade now feels embarrassing.

Indeed. And as Mo cuts in and doesn't like to stay wide we then have zero width with everyone coming inside.I remain doubtful about the indulgence shown to Trent in letting him roam into the midfield.

I'm half expecting him to take a mask off scooby doo style.. and Eboue is underneath.So naby keita needs to fuck off
They'll be partying again tonight.Ref just short of asking Benzema for an autograph
I disagree. Pretty much everyone was under par. You could call it unfortunate but we had far too many players out of form coming into this game. Salah, Diaz, Henderson, Tiago, TAA, Robertson (in terms of his delivery), Jota. I just hoped that we might have some heroes who would break the mould today, but it was all incredibly tame. What a forgettable final.Can’t fault the team, the players or tactics. Everyone gave everything they had left in the tank after a long season. Courtois and one defensive lapse won them the game. It’s football.
