Date - Sunday 27 / 02 / 22

Venue - Wembley

KO - 16 : 30

TV - Sky


The first major(ish) trophy of the season will be decided on Sunday when we play Romans money launderers aka Chelsea FC . They started the season really well but have faltered since then with the injury ti Reece James seemingly having a large impact . The lack of expected return in the form of goals from Lukaku , Werber and to some extent Havertz has been a worry for them but the recent form of Ziyech has helped and would suggest he will be in the starting line up .

We are in pretty much injury free apart from Jota & Firmino but are juggling the squad to deal with the demands of being in contention for all 4 trophies . Considering the starting front 3 against Leeds played pretty much the whole 90 who starts as CF will be interesting the most likely being Mane though Origi is a possible particularly as it is a big game .


PL 18-6-2

CL 6-0-0

LC 4-0-0

FAC 2-0-0

 

Reece James will be fit for the final i hear.

 

Finally a game on tv.

We are on a big run now. Big big game.

Rudiger has had salah in his pocket for years @DivockMcFerrin no hat trick there.

Tuchel to play for pens from the off and hope for a breakaway goal.

 

everyones a critic these days

anyway its all right as he will spend the full 90 chasing Luis

 

No way James.is fit enough to play this game v robbo and Diaz.

Bring it on

 

Dont be sensitive I was just sayin

Will be a big boost for them if he is available tho so hopefully he just misses out

 

Vvd
Fabinho
Diaz
Salah
Mane
Thiago
Trent
robbo

Cheslea are screwed

We need to start henderson to give them a chance

 

Lacks a poll...

 

Or he wasn’t injured and has been really well rested

 

Kelleher to start.

Trent konate vvd robbo
Hendo fab thiago
Mo mane diaz

I reckon

 

We'll only bring on Big Div for the last 10 minutes if we desperately need a big goal.

 

Salah Hat-Trick

 

Certainly close to the team

 

I'm scared ...

 

I hope Alisson starts ... Kelleher has done brilliantly to get us this far but this is a cup final that I want to win, and I want to give ourselves the best opportunity. If we want to be sentimental, then we may as well start Taki as well as he's helped us get here.

 

Klopp already confirmed Kelleher will start. I think if he didn’t pick him now after dropping him for semi first leg, kelleher might get proper hump and look to move on. Guy could be Alison’s replacement in a few years and would be a shame to lose him.

 

Yep, I expect Kelleher to start as well but my personal preference is Alisson.

As you say, this is a good way to keep him happy and continue as the number 2.

 

Thats the thing. Obviously Alisson is a better keeper but I guess long term thinking is coming in. Giving Kelleher this experience may help in long term, if Alisson is to get an injury later in season etc. it’s always a hard one but if klopp has promised kelleher he’s the cup keeper, then see no reason to change that.

Also kelleher hasn’t put a foot wrong when he’s played and his penalty saves helped us get there so fully deserved it

 

Kelleher has earned it and whilst Alison is the best in the world, Kelleher is still probably better than half the premier league's first choices.

Alison has enough trophies to try and win this season too.

 

But then so has Taki .. hes scored some very important goals in the tournament and has played a lot of the games. So surely he should start as well ... ?
