Well the PL has gone now. Even if both we and Chelsea win at City (next two games) we'll still be too far behind to catch them. On to the Cups it is.
As for this game ... we had enough good chances on the break to have put this game to bed even before Kovacic's worldie. Second half sort of petered out for both teams in terms of real chances but again we had the best. Kante and Kovacic ruled the midfield for most of the game against an inept Hendo, a too slow Milner and a Fabs weirdly well off his game, ditto VvD(both post-Covid perhaps), but did do some good work in there with his runs and passing.
Chelsea created little despite all their huffing and puffing and Kelleher looked very comfortable in goal.
Mane was his now usual self (spilling and losing the ball) bar a well taken goal and he did very well defensively. He really is one of the worst for not keeping himself onside though.
Cracking goal for Mo.
We should have started Keita over Milner, that error let Chelsea dominate midfield.

Tsimikas : 7

Keita : 6
Jones : 6.5 (not on for long but looked good)
