It's almost like Chelsea havent had an extra 2 days rest this time.......look at the difference.

We were robbed of a possible FA cup final appearance by the PL. No way should we have been playing on the Thursday of the semi final week. Farcical.

And how many times have we seen the team with more days rest look leggy,

This is why we need to rest players for Europa. The toll is showing on a few players with a couple of hamstring injuries.
Exactly why we need a big squard, because next season will be chaotic.

Gilmore is excellent in keeping possesion under pressure. Keeps things simple and absorb the press. Very effective skill against teams like arsenal.
No one does that better than Kovacic to be fair, and he's been anonymous.

Chelsea are shambolic at the back. Arsenal showing us how to play against the high press.

Auba is so deadly.

Chelsea badly need defenders this summer.

Under the circumstances we were playing in (covid) it was a disgrace that Arsenal n City got same rest period and we got not one but two days less than Chelsea. It had a huge impact on the team selection and result.
