Match day,and another final,fair play to the team,two finals,very unlucky in the CL quarters and a top 3 finish more or less guaranteed,not too shabby.....UP THE CHELS !

Well said !😀

    Well I started FA Cup Final day with a glass of single malt whisky. It was a Caol Ila. A fine drop. Off to the pub in a while for a few beers and a meal before heading to Wembley. As I posted earlier I don't care who scores as long as we win.  Much beer could be drunk today.

     





    Stats don’t win games, players and teams do. Still this is an interesting analysis, if your interested in that sort of thing. Our defence is not as good as last season, all our best attack comes from the centre and the right and we are good at attacking but poor at scoring. Liverpool press higher and harder.

    I think TT will tweak it today.

    I suspect this might be the line up:

                             Mendy

           Christensen    Silva      Rudiger

    James     Kante           RLC                Azpi

       Mount                                Pulisic

                           Lukaku

     

    Did edu switch to Adidas? He used to wear uhlsport gloves but in the chelsea training video he’s wearing adidas?

    Nvm he wore them agaibst Leeds as well chelsea-goalkeeper-edouard-mendy-during-

    If Edward Mendy wears a pair of Peter Bonetti ‘goalie gloves’ from  circa 1970 ish and we win today I’ll be delighted.😀

    Maybe he should go old school and wear no gloves at all

    maybe if it goes to penalties he just takes off his gloves, that would really suprise the Liverpool players

    I’m going to a gig tonight so I’ve persuaded the wife for us to find a pub to watch it. Unfortunately we’re in Stoke so I’m presuming it will be full of Liverpool fans. 



    We ended City's quadruple bid last season can we do it again today to Liverpool?

    Team wise this is gonna be hard to predict, if TT gets his tactics right like we've seen him do for so many big games here then we could have a masterclass.

    So many tough calls for TT, does he start the same front 3 from the last outing which looked pretty fluid, or does he tinker? Timo vs high line or Pulisic, Kai or Rom, Ziyech got an assist and hasn't had much playtime does he do a similar line up to spurs in the cup and have him on the wing? 

    Klopp said he's unsure if will we play 3 strikers or 2, whether we will play 2 midfielders or 3. The only thing he is certain is that we play a back 5, so does Tuchel throw him off and play a back 4? It's unlikely since he uses the 3atb for almost all big games. 

    Havertz and Lukaku to start together perhaps? They're yet to really mesh that well. Only thing I'm certain of is James, Silva, Mount, Mendy, Rudi and Jorginho start and most likely Alonso too.

    We're exactly the club to spoil everyone's fun, we're horrible and I f**king love it.

    I just can't decide if I want us to win by battering them 5-0 or a last minute penalty won by a player who should have been sent off and was offside, just to really upset the w**kers....



    Watching BBC between house jobs and just showed 1971 cup final win against Leeds.

    Dad looks at the line up,

    'Osgood, I've heard of him does he still play?' 🙂

    My expected TT line up today:

     

    Mendy

     

    Dave

    Silva

    Rudiger

     

    James

    Jorginho 

    Kante

    Alonso

     

    Mount

    Lukaku

    Werner

     

    I expect Klopp goes with

     

    Allison

     

    TAA

    Koanate 

    VVD

    Robertson

     

    Thiago

    Henderson

    Kieta 

     

    Salah

    Jota

    Mane

     

    Think he saves Diaz as an impact sub.
