The General Football Thread

The good news is that they did indeed hold out in the second half....the bad news is that they now have to face 30 mins of extra time..

 

Hugely deflected goal against the run of play for Northwich, looks like it's not meant to be for Sholing this year...

Edit: Heroic effort but finally ran out of legs...3-1 now

FT 3-1.

 

Rudiger should have got two yellows there, in my book.

 

Kepa refusing to be substituted...this is insane.

 

Ha I wish I knew that was an option, would’ve done it a few times myself

 

I don't understand how Sarri can be so angry? It's his decision!

Kepa can only over-rule him, if he lets him.

 

That is astonishing. Sarri backs down and allows a player to stay on the pitch after insisting he came off. Never seen that in my life.

 

What a fiasco.

 

Sarri was on very thin ice before, but I don't know how you come back from that. Even if they win.

 

If City win the shootout Kepa will be dropped IMO. Sarri won't stand for that. If he's still Chelsea manager of course.

 

And nor should he.

 

All eyes on Kepa and Sarri now. This shootout will be very interesting.

 

I'd have laughed if he'd subbed off an outfield player for Willy instead. Kepa would have flipped.

 

And Sarri's still screaming at Kepa as they prepare. C'mon, man, you either make the decision or you don't. Screaming at the player while he's prepping for pens in a cup final and you can still make the change just makes you look pathetic.

 

That would have been fantastic

 

If I was Sarri I’d be out the door after the match, regardless of the result.

 

That would have been class. Ultimate pettiness

 

Well that messed up save just makes it 100 times worse. Never should have conceded that.

 

Keeper should have saved that hahaha - he has made himself look such a bellend

 

Lol Kepa. Sarri will be even more pissed.
