Sickener.

So undeserved yet you just knew it'd happen.

Some shocking decisions by Poch today.

Let's pray it doesn't derail our season, Palace game can't come fast enough.

Don't get why Poch would try Son at LWB for the first time in such an important game

Both managers made bold decisions today. One backfired massively and the other paid off a treat.

Dembele MOTM. Eriksen was great too. Toby, Dier and Son all poor.

Eriksen for me, two great assists. I can barely get mky head around that second one. Dembele was also great.

I felt Dier and Lloris were extremely poor today. Lloris never should've conceded the free kick and I can't remember him making a save. Dier's 'clearance' or whatever the fuck it was for their 3rd goal was ridiculous. Poor generally as well.

All in all gutted by that game. Utterly ridiculous to dominate as much as that but to get shafted by individual mistakes and shitty refereeing.

Don't think Verts at the LB and play 4231 would be much better than Son at LWB. Either Poch is absolutely wrong in tactics, or we are simply doomed to fail as it seems that davies is slightly injured.

After all, at this stage, squad depth matters. When 2-2, we can only bring on a defender in Walker and GKN, while chelsea, unbelievable, Cesc, Hazard and Costa.

Eriksen by far.

I'm really surprised at Poch. Son LWB as a trial was ultimately the decision that cost us. The main problem with it was that we had no options on the bench to change things.

Redknapp-esque in trying to shoe horn all your best attackers onto the pitch.

Doesn't matter who the man of the match.Result aside i am really proud of the boys today.Great performance,never stopped going . This team has character and lot of bottle.Watch out for next season.We'll certainly win something.

Today was just a freak day.Chelsea were appalling for the most part of the game but won because of wonder goals.

Poor reffin by Atkinson, they just kept fouling, no cards

Fine lines, Dier might have scored, none of our better corners fell kindly

But the individual errors, which have been cut out completely of late, get made again when it really matters

Their lot don't make them, we do, when it matters, that's the difference

Seven semis since the Donkey year, fack off

Exactly. Try it and develop it over a series of games but not in a semi final at Wembley against the league leaders. We dominated possession without slapping them in the way we did at home this year. It wasn't an appalling performance by any stretch but we were below par defensively. Two hasty tackles and a crap corner cost us. I thought Eriksen and Dembele were immense; as already posted we really need more pace for a pitch like Wembley
