Thoughts on the Chelsea match...

Ref was very good. The major penalty claim he got right cos the player was already going down before he clipped Klose's shin. The VAR system might be good at reducing any perceived bias towards the big clubs.

I thought Zimm or Lewis could have been MoTM.

The tempo was so slow during the first-half that it looked like the teams were preparing for a long match.

It seemed very difficult for Madds to get on the ball much in the final third but that was prob cos he wasn't getting much service from Reed & Vran.

Olive is now the only striker in the whole squad. He worked hard, had a great shot, looked very tired in extra-time, and was unfortunate win the pen.
