@mrV_embaga@ESPNFC Awful, horrendous take. Off the bench you want madueke/toney/gibbs white ? He was pivotal to our euros successes assisting in the semi off the bench and scoring in the final also off the bench. Yet people want to not even bring him on the plane 🤣🤣
@Ikennanwaoga@CFCPys@JacobsBen@Matt_Law_DT@SamiMokbel_BBC I’ll be the first to say he hasn’t had a great season, but off the bench who else would you want. Assists in the semi final in the euros then scores in the final… both off the bench. Would you seriously want madueke and gibbs white off the bench over him?
🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Chelsea’s controversial FA Cup Final defeat against Manchester City:
“I’ve watched football long enough to know when a team’s been hard done by, and Chelsea were absolutely robbed today. I don’t care who you support, some of those decisions were unbelievable.
The first incident on Joao Pedro before halftime is a penalty for me all day long. Khusanov doesn’t go for the ball, he goes straight through the man. Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a foul instantly, so why does it suddenly become ‘not enough contact’ inside the box? Makes no sense.
Then in the second half, the one on Caicedo… Doku clearly catches him as he’s driving forward. Chelsea players are surrounding the referee asking for consistency because we’ve seen those given plenty of times this season. VAR had every opportunity to step in and once again nothing happens.
And the handball shout? That’s another one people will debate all week. The ball hits O’Reilly’s arm from Enzo’s cross and I honestly don’t know what defenders are supposed to do anymore because we’ve seen penalties given for far less than that. Every week the interpretation changes.
What frustrated me most was the reaction from the officials. No urgency, no proper review, no referee going over to the monitor. In a cup final, with moments that big, you have to get them right.
Chelsea players looked furious because deep down they probably felt the decisions were never going their way today. Three huge calls, all ignored. That changes games, especially finals.
If this happened to Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, everyone would be talking about it for weeks. But because it’s Manchester City on the other side, people seem scared to really question it properly.
Chelsea didn’t only lose the final today… they were let down badly by the officiating.”
Thank You Carter!
