Actually it does, you implied we’re at a disadvantage because Tuchel indirectly revealed our formation to the press and Guardiola, and I gave you an example about a team that used the same formation for two seasons and almost succeeded in 2019 and succeeded in 2020. Now let’s assume you’re right and we play with two formations are you telling me pep would not be prepared for either formation. Finally regarding the press, I agree with you they’re unbearable and there main objective is only creating stories and drama. They did the same thing with pep and Klopp in there earlier seasons and the same with Jose so I have no love for the British press. Anyway I’m optimistic let’s hope we beat them and make a statement to the rest of the league.

So you argument is because Pep knows mason is injured we are at a disadvantage because he suspects we’ll play with a 352. If that’s the case then in 2020 every team should have found a way to beat Liverpool because they basically played the same formation throughout the entire PL campaign, yet they steamrolled everyone to win the title.

Hopefully we see Werner 2nd half, neither Mount nor Harverts warrant 2nd half involvement.

This team is really special any other Chelsea team and we would have easily lost at anfield. Proud of everyone of them.

Injustice nothing more to say. Go f**k your self Taylor

I’m still pissed off about his calamitous decisions in the FA Cup final against Arsenal. Hopefully he is non partisan in this fixture though I’m not optimistic. It’s really frustrating the best and most competitive league in the world yet with arguably the worst set referees.

Excited and nervous about this game. There is no team that I despise more than Liverpool. Let’s beat there ass in front of there repugnant fans who abused Billy Gilmour.

2 UCL, 2 EL, 2 CWC, and 2 SC, Chelsea the pride of London

Why Kante, take Kova, he’s been awful this game

Club World Cup is the only trophy we have yet to win. I was slightly pissed we lost to Corinthians in 2012, now it’s our chance to add a new trophy to our cabinet and proclaim the team world champions. Btw for comedy go watch aftv podcast with that muppet DT who is still in denial and proclaiming Arsenal are the biggest club in London.

I get your point but I can counter it. The inter Milan team that won the treble in 2010 haven’t been in the semi final let alone the finals for decades in comparison to Bayern who were regular quarter and semifinalist. In the end it’s a one off game, no one arguing against city being favorites, but anything can happen in 90 plus minutes in football.

Thanks for the laugh I needed that

Not to sound judgmental, but it’s a little disappointing that a lot of the fanbase have zero confidence in this game and assume we will get thrashed against city, because of bad run of form. Compare that to 2012 where we won against arguably the greatest team in history in there backyard with 10 men and 2-0 down and against a Bayern side that won the treble a year later with the likes and Robben, Ribery, schweinsteiger, Kroos, neur, Lahmm. I bet a a lot back then thought we couldn’t win against Bayern at the Allianz, without two key players (terry, Ivanonic). Trust the team and the manager, yeah we were atrocious in the last couple of games but on our day we can beat anyone. City are beatable, whatever happens I’m looking forward to this games.

Any update on Mendy

I guess Frank Lampard was right when he said these chokers are not ready to win trophies

Because it’s reminiscent of what happened at the FA Cup final, we control procession we have hundreds of chances, and then concede. That’s why everyone is stressed and pessimistic, we’ve seen this movie before and it wasn’t pleasant

I cannot describe how much this hurts, I don’t know what to feel to be honest. Rage, sorrow, indifference, I don’t know. I know some fans say we have to move on but I can’t move on from this. If we can’t beat Leicester, no disrespect to them, how can we beat man city. It feels we have reached a point where we are stunted while the rest keeps progressing. Anyway I’ve rambled for quite a while good night everyone hope you can sleep well.

Great now we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, we either choose the fa cup or focus on the league while still preparing for the CL final, we have no one to blame but ourselves. it’s a must we win our last 2 games against Leicester and Aston Villa, to make sure we secure top 4. Thanks Arsenal you pieces of sh*ts.

I’m nervous now, hopefully this doesn’t be the catalyst to a bad run of games and we lose top 4. Let’s hope it just a bad day at the office kind of thing and move on.

Tbh I’m hoping United win against Liverpool, because if we win against Arsenal tomorrow, hopefully, and Liverpool lose then mathematically we’re guaranteed top 4 because by that point we would be 67 points and Liverpool if they win there remaining three games would be 66 and west ham if they win there three remaining games would be 67 points but we would go through because of the goal difference.

Let them have this false sense of security and overconfidence, it works to our advantage. “ overconfidence precedes carelessness”

I noticed this theory from a couple of my Chelsea mates, that because we’ve beaten City twice means they’ll beat us in the final, which is ridiculous if you ask me. it’s nothing but superstition. In the end the win yesterday was huge both for the teams confidence and cementing top 4 finish. And for those who are saying we played A City B or C team or whatever, well we can make the same argument. We played without Mount, Chillwell, T Silva, Havertz, and Kova. Even Jorginho didn’t on come until the 70th minute. My point is stop worrying and have faith in the team. We faced arguably the greatest team in football history and won despite being 10 men down, and beat a Bayern team that won the treble a year later, why can’t we do the same with City. Let’s take it to them in Istanbul

If you go on the redcafe, you’ll witness a lot of mental gymnastics with the city fans and other rival fans saying, we only won because it was the city B team and other Bullsh*t. Well we can make the same argument, we played without Silva, Mount, Chillwell, Kovacic, and so one. The only significant players that weren’t involved in the game were KDB and Bernardo Silva. So stop making excuses, and let’s take this momentum to the final.
