    Annoyingly they'll be knackered and missing two key players against Brighton at the weekend.

    Thought Norwich had nicked it at the end.

    I'm not going to worry about the cup this year - it's all about the league.

    Cracking last half hour from their goal through extra time.

    Thought the ref got the two sendings off spot on. I know the defender was touching Morata but it was nowt, imo, then Morata just dived. Don't buy Jenas' assertion that he was entitled to go down in the slightest. He felt contact and dived-the contact didn't make him fall.

    Yep, they both deserved their sending off's.

    5 more minutes and Norwich might have pinched it. They deserved more.

    Kenedy was pretty average looking imo.

    .. That's the difference between the fans and the players perspectives mate. We come in from two completely different angles .. Enjoyed that game, and on balance I think the ref done nothing wrong. Don't watch as much football as I used to because of the diving ..

    Right there Zip. He was just begging for the penalty.

    True but probably an upgrade on Atsu.

    Thought Murphy's brother did canny well.

    Shearer's right, though-if you dive to try and win a penalty it should be a red. Anywhere else on the pitch-yellow but if the penalty had been given then he would have received a ban from the panel. The intent is exactly the same so I don't think whether the dive is successful or not should matter.

    The two are so similar in style and ability. He caused a few problems for Chelsea tonight.

    Both of them are good players - will both do well.
