Even if SG hadn't gifted Chelsea the first goal, still think they'd have won the match. They had they urgency, we looked tired, which is understandable after Thursday's 120 mins. Pepe kept the score down, he looked a frustrated man. The players playing out of position looked ill at ease and injuries to Maxi, followed by Carra trudging dejectly off, made a depressing sight.
Actually felt sorry for Aquilani on being subbed near the end, he looked really disappointed to be called off again - he's been really trying last couple of games, closing people down etc. Game was gone anyway, maybe could've just left him on. Would be surprised if he was at the club next year though.
Maxi's settled in better, looks like he's come up to the pace of the PL, reckon he could do a job for us next year.
Will be glad once the seasons over. All the argueing and disagreement, think it's wearing everyone down. Whether the club with be bought/sold, will Rafa stay/go, will players stay/leave etc. etc. etc. Busy summer ahead, can only hope things are sorted out.
