Refs are shit and unaccountable for their actions. We all know it and it has cost us games before. This time it went our way. The refs need to be held up for poor refereeing rather then defended by the FA.
feck off, I still haven't got over the drogba offside goal in 2010.

The game where Macheda pushed the ball in the goal with his hand? Yeah, my heart weeps.

Martinez needs to wind his neck in considering his side got away with a clear foul on Sterling in the box mid week. Didn't see him getting irate about that decision.

The debate about added time has been done to death, the time shown is a minimum. 5 minutes added on allows upto 5:59 to be added. Everton scored so another minute was added. It's not controversial at all.
He's wrong about Sterling but we've been fecked over twice recently with the Terry incident and the Stoke game.

I hate when a team gets an absolute thrashing not long before we are due to play them.

There will be a reaction from them when we play them in the FA cup, I'm sure.

On a totally pragmatic sense, it is a great result for us in terms of chasing the top 4, though.

It's Chelsea though. The players look like they're just waiting for the next manager to come in now.

They deserved much better, they only got themselves to blame. Gifted Madrid a couple of goals and missed some massive chances.

I'm amazed Jorginho's miss at 120' minute is not talked much, can't get much easier than that.

The last two real madrid games I've seen reports that Kante is a bit finished as a player?

Is this true at all? Are Chelsea fans seeing any differences in him?

I'm surprised that they at least tried, even producing a 0-3. Nothing laughable about it.

Only reason Chelsea didn't go through is because they gifted the tie to Madrid.

Finished is probably strong. He's certainly past his peak - had quite a few niggling injuries this year and has been clearly a level below where he was during the CL knockouts last year, for sure.

He was certainly the worst starter for us last night - made huge mistakes leading to both Madrid goals. The first one especially was galling - Alaba was caught upfield, Werner is having a run at the corpse of Marcelo from the halfway line, and instead of knocking it forward for Werner to chase Kante tries to float a terrible pass straight to Timo that gets intercepted and all of a sudden Madrid are in transition. It was an incomprehensibly bad decision.

Or maybe you can laugh at him as he didn't even make the bench.
He's injured. Achilles problem. Ironically he would have been an incredible weapon to have against an Alaba / Carvajal CB pairing.

Then I take that back , though I doubt he would have done much considering the state of things , he also bottles it in big games.

Also wasn't Kante in a pretty mediocre slump before tuchel's arrival? He could just be having a temporary downturn.

Agreed that he's a bottler - he did just that in the first leg!

Still think he would have been a weapon here despite that - if he could have managed to isolate Carvajal especially 1v1 I think he could have more or less wrecking balled his way into something resembling productivity.

Kante was getting a lot of stick during Lampard's tenure but this was mostly because Lampard played suicidal football - he set us up in a 4-3-3 then bombed both fullbacks forward, so when defending we were something like a 2-1-2-5. Basically he asked Kante to mop up literally everything - and this was impossible, even for Kante. This is why we got counter-attacked to death - god only knows how many draws we turned into losses because we played short-sightedly and impatiently.

Tuchel basically realised that having Kante sweep horizontally is fundamentally a misuse - Kante's best attribute is his ability to press high then recover. Thus using him as a rover in a double pivot makes far more sense.
