Suffice to say neither Walker or Chadli I was my MOM
Walker had an amazing first half in my opinion. Completely shut down Hazard and tried to venture forward as well (albeit without much luck).Suffice to say neither Walker or Chadli I was my MOM
Lloris- Didn't have to do much
Walker- I thought he dealt well with Hazard, and he got unlucky for the second goal. Fair play to him playing the 2nd half despite having some sort of injury. Funny how people curse his apparent
poor-ness but shit themselves when it looks like he's coming off. One of our better performers IMO.
Dier- Meh.
Vertonghen- Meh
Rose- Worked very hard but nothing came off.
Mason- Nothing good, nothing bad. Another meh performance from our team.
Bentaleb- Outstanding IMO- MOTM
Townsend- Poor. I really thought him playing at Wembley would mean he could really perform well, but he did, unfortunately, the square root of fuck all
Eriksen- Very unlucky with his free kick, was constantly looking to create chances, but Chelsea defended well and Zouma was clearly instructed to stop him at all costs, so he had little influence on the game
Chadli- Very disappointing- Gave away the free kick for the 1st goal and was just as ineffective as Townsend on the right. As I said in the match thread, he's not been the same since his leave.
Kane- Worked hard as always, but Chelsea kept him quiet. He's the future though, and hopefully he'll play many more finals with us.
Subs:
Dembele- Meh- Probably should've started instead of Mason or Chadli. The only thing Pochettino got wrong with his starting XI IMO- but I won't be surprised if people suddenly complain about the team selection, without having said anything when it was announced
Lamela- Shit as always because he's Lamela. Am I right? (On a serious note, he did more than Chadli and Townsend, not that this was particularly hard to achieve). He'll somehow get blamed though.
Soldado- N/A
In summary, too much 'meh' in our team.
Lloris- Didn't have to do much
Walker- I thought he dealt well with Hazard, and he got unlucky for the second goal.
