Proud of that. My heart goes out to Romelu Lukaku, he's a Chelsea fan and a terrific young player and he choked. Better and more experienced players will do this in shoot-outs. Schweinsteiger for example. Regardless, it will hurt but at least it doesn't mean to much and he will have knocks and he's got to learn from the good and the bad to end up world class which he can become. It's a trophy and it hurts to lose. Not going to hide it. But we competed and matched Bayern for 120 minutes. We scored two great goals. We looked solid at the back and unlikely to concede for very long periods. The back five were immense alongside Oscar, Schurlle, Hazard and Torres. Ramires got himself a silly red card. Lampard as much as I love him needs to be phased out. We created chances. Several poor misses. Neuer made some fantastic saves. We hit the bar. And we did this with ten men against the best team in Europe lead by the UEFA European player of the year. No one matched them like that last year. And then you can add Mata, Willian, Eto'o, MVG, Essien, Azpilicueta, De Bruyne, Bertrand and Kalas to that squad that was involved today. We have strength in depth in nearly every position. Maybe a CB and CDM but other than that I see no reason why we can't win the league and challenge properly for the CL this season. It hurts but hey at least it's not at our stadium and at least this trophy is little more than a accolade rather than a title eh? ;)
Win, lose or draw, I don't care. It's blue what else matters?

Did you watched Lampard this game? Led the team superbly threw himself in front of everything and set up a few counters. He is still as good as anyone in our team
