    I fail to see how this team is DF not taking it seriously. It's pretty much the first team line up apart from Oliveira, seems some just like to moan about anything

    Just said on BT that Nelson pulled up in training, so only makes the bench.

    Is Jerome injured? If not, he's probably off. Not even on the bench, and we only have 2 strikers in the squad!

    Don't want to get Oliveira or Jerome cup tied.

    It took 3 Chelsea players to get the ball off Lewis. I love that guy already.

    This is why we need to put more faith in youth talent seeing as though the season is a write off. Get Cantwell and Middleton in the starting line up.

    How on earth is that attack on Pinto not even a foul!?

    I can see a retrospective ban coming for that.

    "Josh Murphy, some people think he could be sold for even more than his brother"

    I've not heard that before!?

    We have started well.

    Willian gets a foul for that, but Pinto............ :emoticon-0114-dull:

    Willian then does the "card" gesture. Doesn't even get a talking to for that.

    This has looked a lot more like it, than games against the relegation placed teams this season.

    Can't decide yet if Chelsea haven't turned up yet, of if Farke has nailed this as close as he realistically could. I didn't expect it to still be 0-0 at 25 minutes, and didn't expect us to look like scoring many times by now.

    "Maddison goes down, looking for a foul, he wont get it though"

    No, obviously, because we are Norwich and they are Chelsea. There's not a lot of difference between that, and Willians foul where he told the ref to book him.

    Watching this on a stream and the commentators are doing my head in, saying things like we'd love a replay, if we played Chelsea 10 times in a row we'd probably maybe win 1 of them, so patronising.

    Same with BT. Every foul we don't get, they say wasn't a foul. every foul they get exactly the same "was never a foul" but it is for them.

    It's like being back in he Premiership for a night.

    Well you won’t get a better chance than this, we are playing absolutely ****. Changes have to be made to wake us up here.

    CJ has been nursing a bad back for a couple of weeks.

    Luis on Pritchard in the area, if that was the other way round, I'd expect that to be given as a Pen too.

    IMO the 3-4-3 formation has stifled Chelski and given Lewis and Pinto licence to get forward and support our lively front three to create chances. I like it!

    Why was there only 2 min added time? Pinto must have been down for 5 min.

    Yup. Only Norwich though aren’t we. So who cares. Media never ever pick up on it.

    "you can't use the excuse the Chelsea players are tired, they are a much changed side"

    Right....so it is in no way that Norwich have played really well throughout?! It must just be that Chelsea are sh*t?!

    F*cking patronising tw*ts.

    No credit given to Norwich what so ever. F*cking livid. We pretty much outplayed them. Pundits only talk about how Chelsea didn't show up!
