Hopefully a solid tanking.

I will go for 3-0

[Samdwich]

----------------Cech
Bosingwa-Ivan-Luiz-Bertrand
---------------Mikel (or Meireles)
-----Ramires-----McEachran
Kalou------Torres---Malouda

Want to give JT, Cole, Romeu, Sturridge and Mata a rest. Possibly swap Ramires for Lampard.
I feel we can afford to play Bosingwa and Meireles as Pompey aren't the most attacking side. Would want Chalobah and Lukaku to get a run-out too if all is going well, and a couple of goals for Torres could help confidence and trigger a good run of form.

Really, the thing I want most is McEachran to play. I really see this kid as the answer to our midfield problems and I'd love for him to show what he can do.

[Samdwich]

just remembered that kalou is at the acn... haha

Due to FIFA regulations stating that a player can only play for two clubs in a season, Kakuta is unlikely to feature, as it makes him ineligeble for a loan move to Dijon.

[Zeta Orionis]

Does that mean been registered with 2 clubs, or actually played at least 1 game?

[Samdwich]

played; which is why lukaku can't be loaned out

I thought it was in a year, which is why lukaku can be loaned now??

[Samdwich]

it's within a single season (they may have called it a fifa year to be confusing) and since Lukaku played the first game or two in Belgium (even though our season hadn't started) he can't play for a third team until our season ends.

Right, Andy carroll scored for liverpool tonight which means torres will get at least one on sunday. Torres whilst performing much better than carroll still seems to mirror him goals wise.

Anyone know if the game is being televised? Want to make sure I can find a feed.

No room for error in this match. This is the only silverware Chelsea have a realistic chance of winning this season. So a full commitment is needed.

As far as I know it won't be, a replay of the 2010 final was not deemed as interesting as Peterborough-Sunderland.
BBC 5live will cover it though, so at least there will be a radio stream.

I thought the game was today. I even rushed home from work and made tacos in preparation. At least they were tasty.

[blizeH]

So we won't even be able to stream it?! Gah.

[Samdwich]

I'm sure there will be a stream available somewhere online

Found one




Sorry...

[Northport Blues]

Probably we'll see...

Cech
Bosingwa Ivan Luiz Bertrand
Lampard Mikel McEachran
Sturridge Torres Malouda

Lukaku, Chalobah, Hutchinson off the bench if we're up 2 or 3 late.... but who am I kidding? It'll be 1-0 or 2-1.
