Chelsea v Liverpool : Carabao Cup Final

All down to the lineup. If Kai is up front and Mendy is in goal i'll be confident.

The striker situation goes without saying but my thinking on the keeper is Liverpool took a lot of long shots against us in the league games and have scored from range vs Kepa almost everytime they've faced him. Would be harsh on him but i feel we have to be ruthless here.
 
Chelsea XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, T. Silva, Rudiger, Alonso; Kante, Kovacic, Mount; Havertz, Pulisic.
Bench: Kepa, James, Sarr, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Saul, Hudson-Odoi, Lukaku, Werner.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago A., Henderson; Diaz, Mane, Salah.
Bench: Alisson, Konate, Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Jota, Origi.
 
Okay, Lukaku is officially no longer a starter.

I really, really like that front 3.

The paranoid side of me is worrying he'll be back as an untouchable the second he does even the basics.
 
Good lineup, although Alonso v Salah is arguably a mismatch of epic proportions. Decent going forward Alonso, poor defensively.
 
I don't remember whoever was arguing with me that Lukaku being benched vs Lille was a sign of things to come and not him being rested for Liverpool
 
In the light of recent events, none of us can openly cheer for Russian mob.

However, feck Liverpool if I may say.
 
The Sky commentator just said "Lukaku is a big game player left on the bench"... Not sure where he got that disinformation from :0)
 
Kelleher looks like someone you make in the character creator of a Dark Souls game.

Wonder how Chelsea fans feel about supporting Ukraine even though their sugar daddy’s mate started it
 
Under current circumstances I'd say any decent human being would support the English team and not the Russian one today.
 
Thiago injured in the warm up. And my confidence goes with him.

He'll get enough chances to prove something. That's unavoidable to be honest.
 
The sign language interpreter for the national anthem seems like a Brass Eye sketch I’ve got to say

If that's how we're looking at things, it's an American team vs a Russian team.
 
Thiago is gutted that he won’t be able to hack down loads of Chelsea players today.

You know you don’t have to pretend you’re not a Liverpool fan don’t you?

Stop this dumb notion that the Chelsea players, coaches and staff are part of the Russian invasion and if we go by your dumb logic then hold Man Utd, Man city and Newcastle "accountable" also for their owners association with countries that invaded others.
