The only thing cramping up was his arsehole. He bottled it - pure and simple. He was fine until the final whistle, then went whining to Fat Frank that his ickle leg was all hurty.I think he was cramping up.

Maybe that's what Mourinho was bought in for. That's the kind of game we would have thrown away not so long ago. The first half wasn't that great and we conceded a couple of clear chances in the second but I think the important thing here is that while most of these guys are fringe players (and some of them even on the market for a move), they still gave it a good shot.
I'm willing to bet there weren't too many people to back us up when the teams were announced but we managed to snatch a draw against a superior opponent, at least on paper. Where's Frank 'Mourinho has three games to save his job' Leboeuf now?
Spot on mate. And they didn't create much in that first half. Really just the two chances after errors by us iirc.For me, the game showed a few things
- Most people really understand fudge all about tactics (no go at you mate, but the pundit flimflam about the 1st half is amazing or talking about Jose's HT talk)), we with a B team, no recognized striker and 4 games in 8 days were never going to go toe to toe with Chelsea's first team for 90 minutes. The plan was fudging simple, Jose even explained it in post match, sit in the 5 at the back, stay in the game for 60 odd minutes, switch to our "normal" formation, bring a striker on and go at them for 25-30 minutes to win the game, Without Reguilon's mistake, we could have won that in the 90.
- And yes, this is what Jose is here for (Chelsea had no fudging idea what team or formation we were going to play with Jose's mind games about throwing the cup_), he also kept the team in it, in the past, we would have put up a good show, looked good for a part of the game, and still lost.
Long way to go, but what I've seen in the last weeks
- Real tactics, Southampton and Chelsea
- Winning away games
- Domination of a game (Saudi Sportswashing Machine)
- New players making an impact, PEH, Reguilon, Doherty and Ndombele's redemption
- Signs of a functioning midfield, N'dombele, Lo Celso, PEH
Last season and the 8 or so months before were a fudging mess, we are picking up, long may it continue

Are you feeling ok? There wasn't a single criticism in this post. Thank you for that. Now I believe that anything is possible.This is a brilliant win over Chelsea, even if it was by penalty shoot outs. Frankly never thought we would overcome Chelsea after we conceded the early goal. I think Lamela is the man-of-the-match as he not only scored our crucial goal but he scored in the penalty shoot out as well. Credit to Reguilon for his assist for the goal. With our record in the penalty shoot outs traditionally so poor, it is great to see us scoring all the 5 penalties. This is the first time ever we have beaten a big team on penalties in any real competition. But our penalty record still need to be improved as we have now played 20 penalty shoot outs in our history, winning just 6 and losing 14 !

Agree. I posted earlier, I dont actually remember us ever scoring all 5 (could be wrong), but certainly never 5 as good as those were
I hope Dier’s is washed before it’s sent to the winning bidder!Was wondering when these would come up:
Kane biggest price at mo, Reguilón then Lamela.
Sanchez the cheapest, a mere £300 so far!

Jesus, this is worse than the infamous "DVDs of famous matches we've won" we used to like selling

Nah this was pre determined as we didn’t get to play Orient to raise money for Edinburgh’s foundation. It was a small bonus that winning the game will hopefully increase demand for the shirts.Jesus, this is worse than the infamous "DVDs of famous matches we've won" we used to like selling
Are you not in favour of the Justin Edinburgh foundation? It's an odd choice of an organisation to feud with...
When you get to your 70s cant sleep at night and have seen all the episodes of Only Fools and Horses hundreds of times those DVDs are great watching.

to be fair it may not have been 400% clear in the post, so edited as my intention was to raise it as a positive thing.
