Could be, what does that say for his GK coaches though if they thought he could not even be trusted for Blackburn in the league cup though?

You can't be suggesting that Liverpool and the media are exaggerating the extent of their injury troubles?

They're trying to cast off the red hot favourites tag, just in case there's the slightest complacency in their team, but it obvious we are the underdogs on Sunday

Aye full media spin is on, poor old injury crippled Liverpool, can they even compete against the Billion pound super power.

Though I don't think it is purely about complacency. The media know we are sh*t so where is the achievement in winning a 3rd rate cup beating a 4th rate Chelsea?

But overcoming the odds against the billion pound CL 2 times winners, who of course are at the peak of their powers, now there is some glory.

I'm not sure I just think Klopp was being honest that we have  a decent chance on paper following our point in the Etihad.

Of course that depends on what happens with their injured players between now and Sunday. 

Note Poch has only won once in 11 meetings with Klopp.

So it's only after our point at Etihad that you know we are good? You don't know we are good before? Even Klopp thinks it is only because we got a point at Etihad, that he thinks we are good, so he doesn't think all the players we have are good?

As a football manager, he is lying, he knows we are good, he just won't say the truth. For someone like him to say that, I have no respect for him.

So many of our fans write us off, we drew City twice this season meaning we are at par with them and should be at thesame level with them in the league, if not higher.

Our fans have no pride again, what happened to our pride? We are by no means inferior to Liverpool or City.

We should go to this final with our pride.

Wow.

We are good.

We are good playing against the top teams.

We are good at being not good against the bottom teams.

It will be good if we can get good against the bottom 12 or so whilst maintaining a good level of goodness against the gooder teams.above.

All in all…. It’s all good.

That's a good one, I've seen gooder but yours is definitely the goodest.

Klopp is a good manager. Good at dealing with the media, expectations management. Ingame management and team spirit/philosophy/vulture. 

we will be second favorites

If you could fight with a lion and kill it, should it be difficult for you to fight with a cockroach and kill it? You are insane, you are even talking.

You are making fun of my comment, if you have evil, keep it to yourself, don't bring it near me.

The team is doing badly because so many of you fans are evil. I thought fans of a club will support the club, but I've seen that these fans don't like this team. 

I joined the fans' forum because you would think the other fans of the team will like the team, but clearly these fans hate this team.

I feel so sorry for this team because of the kind of fans they have. They can't do well because of the kind of fans they have. Some people don't have any form of positivity in them, it's all negativity.

It's already affecting the team. There is no oneness in the team. Look at City, Liverpool etc. Their teams are happy. But there is anger inside the Chelsea team. The fans attack all their players. 

They attack Cucurella, they are even so mean to attack a player like Reece James, you would think they like him when they made him their captain, they attack Chilwell, they attack their goalkeeper, they attack their defense, they attack the midfielders, they attack the wingers. 

That means they don't want the team to exist again. If there are no players, there is no team. So why are you still calling yourselves fans of the club? You can as well go to your homes, there is nothing like Chelsea again.

But we can still win. 

I think it's pretty obvious dippers will have a full team on Sunday...klopp trying to be clever ...we can see thru dippershxx....problem is with a full team they'll win....and it's gonna rain...

Out with family on Sunday celebrating mother in laws 50th birthday watching the game. She's a lifelong Liverpool fan.

Surely I wouldn't ruin the occasion by over celebrating a Chelsea win, would I?

Aren't you the guy who's been slating Gallagher all season?

Poch waffle at 12:30pm ....

Mo Salah, Szoboszlai and Nunez back in first team training today, confirmed by Klopps number 2.

He has ruled out Curtis Jones, TAA, Allison and Jota.

It is a huge ask for Klopp to risk those three when they are still in the title race. 

I reckon 3 will be on the bench.

Could be he does that, hopes Gakpo, Elliot and whoever replaces Szoboszlai do the job so he does not need to bring them on.

Or he may look to them to get him a couple of goals before half time, then makes a triple sub with the game done.

Poch labeled Klopp as being "very clever" when describing the final as having no favorite.

He pointed out Liverpools experience vs our own and made them favorites, which everyone knew Klopp was playing  games already 

 

4-0 Chelsea. We will turn up and show one team this scoreline this season. 

confident... 

Just have to hope our form carries and the players rise to the occasion. Not to mention the week's rest. 

Can't stress enough how huge it'll be for this young group to win a trophy together.

The poch vs Klopp Stat ain't inspiring though. We often see managers with this hoodoo against other managers.

I don't expect to win....but I can't quite put my finger on it I feel like something special could also happen. If ever there was a chance for Pochettino to lay a marker down for his career it's now. If he manages to win silverware we can trust him to a certain extent  like Arsenal did with Arteta.
