I always feel Caballero has got a disastrous  mistake in him at some point.

Ross has been top 3 players for us since the return of the football and Frankie for no reason at all decided to freeze him for the most important matches.

I would have been furious if I were in his shoes. 

I fear that Lampard will put Kante and Kovacic and we won't have any creativity in the middle of the pitch...But I honestly don't know what would be the best lineup, part from Pulisic that must start I feel that so many things might go wrong.

Simple FYI for US fans, the match will be shown on The USA Network

I don't like Cab either, but out of principle we just can't play Kepa, he's having a f**king mare. Nobody is saying Caballero is perfect, but he is the better option, and can at least catch a ball inside the 6 yard box.

Sadly I have cut TV cable for over 10 years now. Streaming the only option.

I don't think he's good enough personally, has glimpses of highlights, but very wasteful on the ball and he's not a youngster anymore. If we get Havertz, he should be the first one out the door while we can still get a good fee for him. 

 

I must agreed. Ross is a decent midfielder for a mid table team, not Chelsea quality. There are too many times when he's:

1 - Too slow with the ball during counter

2 - Hold onto the ball too long instead of making a decisive pass forward to an open runner

3 - Indecisive and resulted in making poor decisions and passes

Ask yourself this question: Is Ross able to start for Liverpool, City, or United? There's your answer.

But you must still give Ross credits, he did well when he was on the field for Chelsea - most of the times.

NBCSports can hook you up - might want to checkout Peacock

This is owned by NBC & perhaps this channel/streaming service will show the last match day of the EPL - if not, I won't ask & you don't tell 

nice, will check out the Peacock.

Good squad player don't get me wrong, but it's not worth keeping him around if we were to get Havertz, we'll already have the likes of RLC/Mount/Kovacic/Gilmour/Kante/Jorginho(Maybe) to rotate with on top of Havertz. Pointless giving him a few games a season when some clubs would pay quite a decent amount of money to take him, becuase he's still PL material, I'm sure some midtable clubs will be interested in him.

Magic still starts for Utd and I don’t think Henderson is that much quality.... Barkley is inconsistent but has played well after lockdown.

Oh come off it. I'd kill to have Henderson in our midfield.

Any news on whether Kante will be fit for tomorrow?

That’s not fair, he’s made a few saves. Not sure if he’s in double figures yet though.

I'm one of those who doesn't actually enjoy watching these kind of one off games where so much is at stake. I mean for me, watching thst CL final against Bayen was 2 hours of  pure torture right up until Drogba put the penalty away.

Ever considered YouTubeTV?  I just double checked USA Network was on YTTV as rarely watch that channel.  One consideration is also do the 1-2 week free trial if only for tomorrow's game.  Canceling or suspending is as easy as three clicks.

If Willie doesn't play i think a lot of people would be happy with a traffic cone instead.

I’ll be sh*tting myself if Kepa starts.

Well I’m still sh*tting myself about today.
