Just realised we’ve been screwed by the fixtures.  Why not Saturday or Sunday?

Dunno but it gives us extra time to recover and prepare before the Liverpool match.

What a finish by that Rogers lad by the way, wonder which Premier league club is picking him up in summer 

We pressed great and poch got it spot on with tactics today, yeah boro made mistakes but we created them to make the mistakes via pressure

Is it me or are we playing much better since Cuca and Sanchez got injured?

I don't know about that. 

Not to dampen on the parade because I'm chuffed with the result and performance tonight but I think our performances of late have been pretty weak despite the good results. 

How we’ve sorely missed taking advantage of opposition mistakes and converting our chances!

Onwards and upwards!

Onwards and upwards for Saturday where we will see a different level of opponent. 

In case no one told you, it’s Friday!

Need Fulham to pull it off. Poch has Silva’s number. Undefeated against him.

Clinical performance, well played boys.

Shout out to Chilwell on a really excellent comeback game - let's hope he's fit for a while and continues at left back.

I thought Chilly set the tone from the beginning today. Excellent performance 

 

Didn't take too long.

We’ve spammed him to death 😂

@CFCCAN If you miss the game you deserve a ban!

Wembley here we come…enjoy the moment lads

We got the job done tonight 

Decent performances throughout the team 
Chilwell had a good hour

Caceido was quietly efficient 

Palmer again sublime

Time for Poch to win a trophy in England ?

Very pleasing performance, and nice to reach a cup final.

This will be our 10th League Cup final appearance, which puts us equal second with Manchester United. Only Liverpool have made more appearances (13, or possibly 14 soon to come).

Hoping we can somehow play Fulham, but I expect it to be Liverpool.

Love stats like that. Means it has to change sometime, why not Wembley.

I’d still rather face Fulham.

I don't think we have actually changed much from how we started, we've just been clinical and taken advantage of Middlesbrough's mistakes. I still want us to shake off this slow football, but there hasn't been any sign all season that it's going anywhere.

We still played crap today despite the scoreline.(i know people will disagree). Too many stray and sloppy passes. Just few less than Boro today. Most of our goals came from Boro sloppiness giving the ball away cheaply.  I'm not flattered by that scoreline at all. I want us to see play well, control the game, have energy and creativity, dominate the opponent. I don't see any of this at the moment... Anyway, Let's enjoy the moment. We are in the Cup Final and that's what counts.

Great stuff. I should be getting a ticket for the final.

Oscar and Willian were mainstays at the time. Even Schurrle was great. KDB was going to be rotation at best. 
 

The club selling him vs simply loaning him until he was ready was the issue. 

Schurrle wasn't great, he had a few moments, but he wasn't anything special, I would fancy a young De Bruyne to displace him easily. Willian was a winger, Oscar was turned into a workhorse that could go one game where he could pull out the sublime and then the next game he could barely play a pass. In De Bruyne's 2nd season at Wolfsburg, we only had one attacker in the whole team that was better than him, Hazard. Everybody was certain of how good De Bruyne was going to be. It shouldn't have mattered who was ahead of him at the time, players like that should never be let go. It was short term thinking. It would be a bit like Barcelona letting Messi go because they had Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Henry.

I don't think we were crap, we did the simple things well, and we did win 6-1 😆

I will take weak wins over strong losses.

I really don't want Liverpool in another final. We consistently look like the better team against them, but we seem to have a mental block when it comes to getting the result.
