Game went much as most of us thought it would with our players showing the commitment you'd expect re a Cup final but beaten by better side/squad and multi trophy winning manager. Our losing streak in Wembley finals continues

All that's left to give us some cheer would be beating Spurs.

JBS, spot on, mate. A mate tells me that is our seventh losing domestic cup final on the spin.

16 May 2026 19:46:00
On the bright side we are consistent.

16 May 2026 21:46:43
Obviously, I am disappointed, but a couple of positives: the players showed a bit more fight and energy, and the supporters really got behind the team. On the other side of the coin, tactically we were all over the place, no real plan, relying on players to come up with something.


On a separate issue, TT would be mad not to include Colwill in the World Club squad. True, he has just come back from a long term injury, but he looks fit and is clearly the best English CB around.

We played well enough. They had the moments of quality including their goal.

Some good performances from us, Colwill, Palmer, Hato, Caicedo, Enzo and James.

I have said for ages I do not understand how Gust gets in our side over Josh. I guess there must be a reason.

Onwards and upwards to next season now. After relegating the spuds.

Not unhappy with that first performance from the whole team.

Maybe at some stage Neto has to come on to stop Riley making the extra man in midfield but that would mean going to four at the back.

Class will always prevail. They just have a better standard of player. We give it ago, tho. Poor season all round, would get rid of most of the squad as they won't win anything, the standard is so low.
Just hope Spurs get relegated.

Sometimes moments win games and their goal was one of those moments.

16 May 2026 18:10:15
It was Tom, one of those goals you can't really blame anybody for.

I just can't understand why we can't create anything in the final third.

16 May 2026 18:17:07
Bill, I hate us playing with a back three, and because I'm biased, I will blame it on that.

16 May 2026 22:18:15
Tom, you blame it on a back three? We weren't good enough. We didn't put a glove on City. Pedro had done well this season, but he is not a No 9, he is technically good, but not robust enough. Play him in the right position or sell him.

Dis agree Jimbo. Think Pedro tried and his general play was ok, but he was absolutely alone. Palmer and Enzo offered nothing going forward. Serious questions now about how to get the best from Palmer, and our attacking options from the bench would look decent at Coventry next season, not at Chelsea.

I would rip up Fofana’s contract and let him go for free. All that I see from the remnants of Maresca’s time is the defense think passing back to the keeper, no matter what, makes sense. I absolutely hate it. Fortunately Hato hasn’t been tainted with this terrible tactic.

I wish this game was a 3am kick off so I didn’t bother. Liverpool are as dreadful as us to watch. They have had a horrible season and they are well above us. Let that sink in.

Fortunately, at 2:45am I can wake up and watch Juventus play. A team that doesn’t always win, has also had a bad season, but because the players at least try and show respect to the badge, I’ll give up my sleep to watch.



I absolutely hate this Chelsea team. I no longer feel like this is my club. I dgaf about our useless owners. I care about those that put on the badge, and this lot is a pathetic excuse of Chelsea footballers. Don’t care that Tom watched worse. This team cares the least about the badge since I started following the club with Wisey as the captain. A bloke I’m sure would rip pieces off these prima donas.

I have watched worse and a lot worse this season. I thought it was generally a much improved performance.

09 May 2026 15:38:49
Anfield against a shockingly bad Liverpool team, and barely a player put in a real shift or tried to win the game. The fact it will be viewed as an improved performance is the reason I'm falling out of love with this club. We are pathetic.

09 May 2026 15:42:47
It must be me!!
It's been a low bar but for me that was better.
Small steps in the right direction, as far as I'm concerned.

09 May 2026 17:11:48
I agree with Tom, and thought what was clearly better today was the fact that all our players looked up for the fight for once, which we haven't been for far too often this season. Also, Palmer was considerably improved, and great to see LC back in the line out.

Enzo and Caicedo v good too, and Joao Pedro.

But there are weaknesses in some positions, too boring to talk about again, and JP deserved far more support in attack from wide players and some r regular goalscorers apart from him.

09 May 2026 14:29:49
We look a far more solid unit with Colwill in the team.

Better overall performance with some good spells. Cucarella was outstanding any my MOM but big shout for Pedro and Palmers best game for a long while.
I remain mystified how Josh isn't playing instead of Gusto.

09 May 2026 17:12:52
Yes, Gusto has been bang average, or worse, far too often this season. Not giving Josh more playing time seems criminal.

09 May 2026 13:30:09
I personally didn’t think it was a foul but they get given at Anfield. I think Gust has been his normal self but I maybe a big biased.

Chelsea score a wonder goal that will go down in Chelsea history. 🤣

On a more serious not we have generally bossed the game.

We have grown in confidence and all of a sudden players are demanding the ball and making runs without the ball.

I assume the scousers will add a midfield player because they look as if they are being overwhelmed.

09 May 2026 13:21:12
Can't be too impressed with anyone as Liverpool are dreadful and if they put it any effort, we would likely give up. In saying that it's now clear after 45 minutes that Cucu is our best LW and he isn't a LW.

Caicedo's passing is slept on and if we can actually build a strong attacking team I think he will shine. Great to see Levi back controlling the defence.

09 May 2026 12:51:08
I’m confused, is this a friendly game? What the f*** is the speed of build up by both teams? Liverpool don’t need to put in much effort for the win, but these blokes are legit being paid for this.

09 May 2026 12:39:58
Not one bit of effort from Gusto to close him down. The man is a liability how’s he get picked, McFarlane?

09 May 2026 12:31:07
Gusto still gets in f*** my life.
