Wonder if he'll go for Kepa in goal or Mendy.

Oh there is one, whoever gets to the final will probably have Liverpool based ref and Collina wannabee Mike Dean given his swansong and you know he will make it a show about himself. Probably celebrate Liverpool goals.

I would go for Kepa. He deserves a start.

Something has been off with Mendy since the last international break. He came back really good from the ACoN but this last break is almost like we got a knockoff version back.

For the little it is worth I would stick with near the same team as Real:

 

Kepa

 

James

Silva

Rudiger

Alonso

 

Jorginho 

 

RLC

Kovacic

 

Mount

Havertz

Werner

Palace are giving late fitness tests to Mitchell and Olise. Be a blow if they are put as they are two of their best players.

Expecting a Zaha thunderbolt today as he normally gets a worldie on us every 3 games or so.

If we were going to rest Silva I would sooner Trev played. ACs head is in Barca already.

Here's hoping Christensen doesn't have a mare similar to Real. 

Any links to stream for those of us living abroad?

Come on Chelsea!

Ty Zeta!

His head is gone, he is a poor selection imo.

Pre-match beard trim & shave ✅

I’ve done all my pre-match rituals, @axman2526 & @Valerie I’m handing the superstitions over to you now. 

I' m shattered and sozzled from an Easter slash birthday lunch, but I changed into my magic pants. The ice cream will only come out of the freezer if absotutely necessary. Somebody find a foghorn to alarm me when that hapoens, as I cannot guantee I will even be awake. Gawd, what was I thinking 

 

So Dave against Zaha or does Reece go to the back 3? Or is it a back 4?

 

Mendy

 

Dave

AC

Rudiger

Alonso 

 

Jorginho 

 

James

Kova

 

Mount

Havertz 

Werner

I fully agree, and what do we actually achieve from playing him now? We may as well play Chalobah, more experience for him.

Christensen showed enough against Real that he shouldn’t be selected again. He’s left Vincius Jumior, Real Madrid’s danger man, wide open so many times.

Why would he be any different against Zaha?

Hopefully Chelsea will make my weekend a little better. I’ve caught a bug that was going round, felt sick and diarrhoea all day yesterday. Today I’ve got really bad stomach pain… Of course it had to happen on a nice warm sunny Bank holiday weekend! 
 

Anyway come on Chelsea. Hopefully Timo keeps his form going.

I have finally caught COVID so am feeling under the weather and generally sh*t. Hoping for a Christensen masterclass and a good thrashing of Palace to lift my spirits.

Hoping we can resurrect from our Madrid defeat

Anthony Taylor is the ref, does it get more negative than that?

Remains to be seen but he generally doesn't feck us over in semis. It's the finals that he brings out the whip
