What's not to like?

That whole thing yesterday was absolute gold for TV - a thrilling game of football and fantastic controversy. Meanwhile the media can savage us and do their damnedest to rip us apart.

So personally speaking and perversely I believe this will bring our group closer together. Sarri has shown that he has the nous to throw on better subs, thus getting fans on his side and improving the team; if Kepa has any nous he will have apologised in private to Sarri; the players will see they have a spunky, gutsy character in goal; and most of all the self belief will be sky-high after that performance.

What's not to like!! COYB!!

Yes, thats the main thing. And even worse our own fans buy into that misguided spin.

I've only seen the loop once but Kepa's story does ring true - was down with cramp, got over it and thought the manager didn't realise. Probably should have at least jogged over anyway, but a weird situation

As he said Chris, if he jogged over Sarri wouldn't have waited for an explanation, and he would have got subbed

Goalkeeper with cramp !!! That'd be a first - Nah, he was cheating by time-wasting.
Moss facked up by not showing a yellow card for not going off thus delaying the restart.

From a Chelsea fan prospective it was a great watch. The way you could see us visibly grow in confidence in the second half and take the game to City was very uplifting. Vindicated everything Sarri's been saying about in-game mentality, if we trust ourselves and the gameplan we can beat anyone on merit.

Zahralhsanphile's right, it had a great feel for it. Usually when we're the underdogs we dig deep and pick the opponents off with one or two chances (e.g. 2012 CL run), but this was different. There was a 20-25 period before extra time where we were unquestionably the better team playing the better football, and our fans could feel it (they were great btw).

Devil's DA - that's the way I saw it. City better overall especially first half, but yes that wasn't half heartening in the rest of the game. Very encouraging, and we can build on that with a siege mentality in defiance of all the media circus.
