* The Unofficial “Official” Chelsea v Boro - Carabao Cup SF [2nd leg] Match-Night Thread *

Our whole team costs less than they'd spend on a squad player. This is the result which should be happening, as deflating as it is.

It's not nice and looks like it could be embarrassing, but we already knew we've lacked a cutting edge recently and we couldn't beat Rotherham over two attempts in a month... Let's just treasure the memories of that first leg win.
 
They haven't even had to work for it really, they've done nothing special at all but we've been so passive it's unreal but a team worth a billion will do that to you if you aren't at it.

We've actually not been terrible on the ball, we look comfortable for the most part but the lack of pace with Jones and Latte Lath being out means it's just so difficult for us to be a threat.

Taking the game to them is not about shots on goal. It’s about taking it to them. Harassing them on the ball from the second they have it. Making them uncomfortable and forcing them to rush.

We did that in the first game… we haven’t done it in this one

You should tell Carrick.

We’re up against a team stacked with world class players here who haven’t played in a week or so. We’re knackered, it’s obvious. It’s not that easy.
 
There is a real skill to playing out from the back but even the best hoof it to clear the danger - Clarke needs to sometimes just put it in row Z
