Jon Brady and Port Vale were on a great FA Cup run until they met Chelsea in the quarter-finals on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After knocking out Sunderland in the previous round, they were thrashed 7-0 by the Blues<\/a> at Stamford Bridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brady was still proud of his players for getting this far, but he has admitted that Chelsea are just on a whole other level.<\/p>\n

Who was your MOTM?<\/p>\n

\u201cRuthless\u201d was the word that Brady used as the 51-year-old discussed how badly Chelsea punished his team on the day.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Sport<\/a> after the game, Brady said: \u201cThree set-pieces, we didn\u2019t defend well enough. Very frustrating. It shows in the end. To keep it at four or five would have been respectable, but to concede the last two was a bit of a gut punch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of the players overall. It shows how ruthless the players are at this level and it\u2019s something we can stride to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior\u2019s<\/a> men really needed those goals after struggling in attack in their previous three matches.<\/p>\n

Just prior to the international break, the Club World Cup<\/a> winners were beaten 3-0 by Everton. Before that, they lost 3-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League<\/a> after a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s next fixture is against Manchester City in the Premier League<\/a>. Hopefully, the players will have their goalscoring boots on again that afternoon.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer still managed to impress Rosenior<\/a> despite not finding the back of the net. Against City, though, Chelsea will need a player of Palmer\u2019s attacking quality to step up and make an impact.<\/p>\n

The statistics back up how deadly Chelsea were in their latest FA Cup tie. As per Sofascore<\/a>, they had an xG of 4.13 but were still able to score seven goals!<\/p>\n

In total, the Blues registered 20 shots, while they also created 11 big chances. Offensively, it was a really bright display, but it was only League One opposition Chelsea were facing. <\/p>\n

The real test will be when they take on City before games against Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. A 7-0 win and progression to the FA Cup semi-finals can only be seen as a positive thing, but no one is getting carried away here.<\/p>\n
