Trafford looks dodgy to me. Wouldn’t fill me with confidence if he’s being lined up as a replacement for Emi.

Same, always thought he looked a bit flimsy, definitely not as good as Emi.

No, but whoever we end replacing him with isn't going to be as good at the moment - because Emi is one of, if not the, best in the world.

But when he was Trafford's age Emi was on loan at Rotherham. You wouldn't be buying him for what he is now, you'd be buying him for the player he might be over the next twelve years.

Not sure if I want Chelsea to win this to have Europe occupy them. And then they score.

I think there are bigger things at play on that - far be it from occupying them, if they get Europa / Conference then there's a concern that they could just accept a one year ban as punishment for their various indiscrections (see Juventus previously), leaving them both unoccupied and having served their time.

So Chelsea to finish as low and trophyless as possible please.

That's exactly what I said to the missus as soon as I saw him. No decorum.

All the going down and whingeing in this game had Mrs. Exeter comment that Lucy Bronze taped up her own broken leg in the Women's Euros final last year an carried on playing.
