thought he'd save Fazio for Costa tbf

Dembele misses out completely

harsh but fair..

Unless that means he's starting on Sunday

He has played much better recently until the WHU game tbf.

My team for Sunday now is

Lloris
Walker Dier Verts Rose
Mason Bentaleb
Townsend Eriksen Chadli
Kane

Such a young team we've got and if we could get a few more in to replace the cràp then the future could be bright.

Only if levy doesn't sell all our best players

@SimonPeach: #Fiorentina side to face #THFC: Neto; Richards, Savić, Basanta, Alonso; Badelj, Pizarro (c), Fernández; Joaquín, Gomez, Salah

Looks about right to me

Agree Mousa has been better but he seems to lurch from ok to crap.. and never looks like scoring despite being played all over. At least Mason has a go.

Bentaleb for captain one day is my shout

Bentaleb

Right my view on today.

Okay possession in the middle of the pitch but never really looked threatening going at the Chelsea defence.

Chadli was utter garbage and Eriksen again not stepping up.

Kane isolated but he does try his hardest.

Lloris 6
Walker 6
Dier 6
Vertonghen 6
Rose 6
Mason 5
Bentaleb 7
Townsend 5
Eriksen 5
Chadli 4
Kane 6

Also why don't players throw themselves at the ball on corners... 3 or 4 times in bounced straight along the 6 yard box yet we never got a touch on it.

Bit harsh on Loris, he did nothing wrong and made at least one great save.

6 is an average mark he was no more than that ( not that he had to be )

Bales

Bentaleb is different class & if schniederlin was along side him we'd be set

In hindsight maybe but I was very happy with the starting line up.

Chadli has just not been the same player since his time off.

Thought Lamela look alright when he came on

Yup, should have started Dembele.

For me though the lack of another proper striker done us from the start. Mourinho knew we didn't have the options to break them down. ffs. gutted.

Rebuild next season. Again.

It was the lack of a decent winger that I thought made us struggle. We lacked decent width meaning they could pack the defence nice and narrow.

Why rebuild. The team showed today they can compete with the best, and have to be one of the youngest starting XIs ever at Wembley. The future looks very bright, why rip this side up. No major rebuilding needed.

We need to rebuild the squad

We need to get rid of These

Adebayor
Soldado
Capoue
Kaboul
Vlad

Then we have players who are average/okay

Townsend
Lamela
Mason
Rose
Chadli
Fazio
Dembele
Davies
Stambouli

Then we have our standout players that are carrying us

Lloris
Verts
Eriksen
Bentaleb
Walker
Kane
Dier

Get rid of the top lot and replace with 2 or 3 top players the promote youth to cover the rest

Right Swansea on weds, do you reckon we can bounce back or will we suffer because of today?
