Steve, North Wales: Chelsea supporter all my life...but they have been a painful watch this season.
Matt There's no doubting Hazard's ability, but he doesn't score enough goals and he goes missing far too often to be considered truly world class.

England women's winger on BBC Radio 5 Live
There were some boos going around by the fans after Ruben Loftus-Cheek was taken off, but what they didn't see was that he was clutching his hamstring.
He has had issues with it before and I think fatigue has caught up with him.

Maurizio Sarri speaks to Ruben Loftus-Cheek as he comes off. Certainly not the change I'd have made but must be rare for that much booing of a sub in a European semi-final.
