Proud and upset.

Left wondering how many fouls Ake and Luiz needed to make to get booked. 15 between them and not even a talking to, must be Atkinson's last year.

We bring on a French kid who hasn't kicked a ball in months. They brought on player of the year, Costa and Fabregas. Where we need to be next year. No good having average players on the bench. Our starting 11 better than most.

Them starting Michy Batshuayi over Costa was the equivalent of us starting Janssen over Kane. It doesn't mean they've got a better bench, it was just strange tactics from Conte which unfortunately seemed to work.

Weird game for us to try so many random things.

Why the sudden aversion to Davies after we've won so many games on the bounce with him?

PS: wasn't fabregas offside in build up to Matic's goal?

They brought them on because they decided to rest them before hand. That in itself is a bit of an insult to us to be honest.

To negate it, we needed to be in front before they brought their best players on.

Gutting, i felt we matched them and more, sadly when the 3rd went in, players gave up. We def need a good winger in the summer.
