Is Jamie Vardy at this very moment round  Schmeichel’s gaff practicing nutmegging him in the back garden ?

please give Tibo the day off Toni, otherwise have to play the strongest available 10, IF progression is made Sunday it’s one game away from the final. Got to stop Spuds or Mourinho United getting their hands on that pot imo.

 

 

5k Chelsea going, so we need to put in a top notch performance off the pitch, you can bet your bottom dollar Leicester will have those f**kin clappers under their seats! I'm going but don't feel confident in the team though.

Two genuinely World class players in that Leicester team.

Oh, stop it.  Neither Vardy nor Mahrez are "genuinely World class players".

Unless you mean Bobby Huth and Wes Morgan, in which case I apologise.

Let's hope they channel some of that disappointment from Wednesday. Leicester have had a week to prepare and will be fresher so AC make a couple of changes yet not too many.

Hazard surely has a point to prove.

Tibo

Dave Christensen Rudiger

Zappa Kante Ampudu Alonso

Willian Giroud Hazard  

Tibo owes us a performance after the horror show on Wednesday night...prefer Ampudu's mobility to deal with Mahrez and their midfield...Giroud is better holding up play than Morata so I've gone with him up front...like to see Hudson Odoi get some play time too...and as for Moses...well anyone can hit the first man with a cross...

Let's try and win this cup, we still can win a title this season.

--------- Caballero ----------

- Azpilicueta - Cahill - Rudiger -

Zappacosta - Kante - Bakayoko - Emerson

--- Willian ---- Callum Hodson Odoi --- Hazard ---

 

COME ON CHELS!!!

Not entirely sure what the exact composition of the team should be, but I would like to see the following (for various reasons): Caballero, Cahill, Zappacosta, Emerson, Bakayoko (if ready to start, if not then Drinkwater), Morata.

Yeah we need to rest the best players and concentrate on winning every league game from here in. Getting 4th is crucial, especially if we have big players to replace, and a manager in the summer. Otherwise we will struggle to attract the cream.

Can't go giving up on the FA Cup, though.  That would be a crime.

I don't think we'll see the team too heavily rotated because it's our last chance of winning something this season. 

I would expect Willy Caballero to come in and in truth Courtois sitting one out after his shocker against Barca wouldn't be a bad thing. 

I reckon Cahill will be recalled to the starting XI and maybe a start for Bakayoko as well. 

Be interesting to see who starts up top out of Morata and Giroud. I suspect Morata will get the nod but my preference would be Giroud just because he isn't a complete wimp... 

I don't expect to see Ampadu or CHO to start but they might be on the bench depending on the fitness of players such as Barkley and Drinkwater. 

Need to give this everything we've got because we need the confidence booster after the disappointment of midweek. 

Courtois

Azpi-Christensen-Rudiger

Zappacosta-Kante-Drinkwater-Palmieri

Willian-Morata-Hazard

 

Get Morata back in form, the only way to do that is play him. Persisting with Giroud will not get us top 4, granted this is an F.A. game we still need Morata firing and confident again for when we venture on into the league. Also some different wingbacks for once please, I love Alonso and he's been very good lately but give Palmieri a game. Moses also needs to sit out, Zappacosta has been impressive whenever he's played lately I'm not sure why he hasn't been played more. 

And for the love of god just please go for the Kante-Drinkwater midfield Conte, PLEASE.

I'd like to see Bakayoko given a game from the start.

never mind all that CL nonsense, the whole thing is clearly rigged anyway - just look at today's draw UEFA keep their pet clubs apart and maek the 2 English sides play each other so one is bound to go out. I think UEFA still have nightmares about the year Chelsea and United made the final.

anyway, the FA Cup was always the big one in English football and we should do everything we can to win it. Three games and we've got a trophy so let's hope the guys are in the right frame of mind and want to get some silverware to help put a rough season to bed

(and I still think we can finish in the top 4)    

Let’s hope we can progress in this cup.

 

and start going on a run in the league

i would start with

cabellero

azbi christensen rudiger 

zappa Kante drinkwater Emerson 

pedro morata hazard 

 

This will be a hard tie, a good chance of silverware at the end of the season. Play the strongest side and show intent. Pointless resting players for the international break, as for the top four, success breeds success.

Yes, Willy in for Postman Pat while Hazard must play because he, along with Kante, are our two truly world class players.

Postman Pat - that's fantastic 

Hopefully we will progress, but I can't see us winning the cup, conte just can't win a cup apart from the league. 

Winning the FA and securing 4th place will be decisive regarding Conte's future... Also, he might win big leverage as for transfer policies if he wins a second title in his second season at CFC. There's much more to this game than simply advancing and winning the FA itself: our next season prospects in both the PL and UCL might depend on how good we do in the FA cup (and also PL now)! So therefore a strong team should be expected !! UTC!!!

I'd pick the strongest team possible.

Spurs and United present too rather big obsticals if we can get past the foxes.

I'd pick the strongest team possible, we haven't got a game for a while so lets go full strength and get this game won.

4th place looks increasingly unlikely as Spurs and Liverpool sail through their easy fixtures, as we should have done. Salah can't stop scoring. OMG I'm getting very depressed. I blame the weather

I will say this only once I think Courtois looks like this guy. There's a pissing resemblance.
