Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

Werner has lacked goals but the movement is underestimated for me. Of the two teams, Chelsea have a focal point upfront, and that’s down to Werner.

He said who’d get in our team, not questioning his qualities but I wouldn’t take one of them over ours!

We are the home team in the final for what it's worth.

Let Aguero start all the remaining PL games and see how he’ll be at end of the run. If he holds up, start him in the final. A proper striker will make us stronger

And change the whole model of what has got us there? Not a chance

Neither of the 2 previous meetings this season tell us anything

our win at Stamford bridge was when Frank was in charge and they were a bit of a shambles

their win in the semi was against a city team that will be unrecognisable from the team that will play the final and I’m still convinced were not that bothered about going out

The question for me is Fern or Rodders. Apart from that, same team that played on Wednesday.

All-English final = Probably dull. Especially when it involves Chelsea.

We haven’t played any worse when we play a striker (or two) when the rest of the team is strong as well. We haven’t played Kun not because Pep is precious about the system, but because he’s unsure about his form. That’s why I’m suggesting, give him the rest of the PL to prove himself. We shouldn’t be predictable in the final

Rodri for me, can always bring on a fresher Ferna later in the game when required

If they give the refs gig to Antonio Lahoz, we are doomed. Not only does he hate Pep, he is a Spanish Royalist who is anti Catalunya.

The problem with cup games is anything can happen. I wouldn't even look at our result at Stamford Bridge as an indicator as that was under Lampard and Tuchel has proven he is an infinitely better manager than he was.

Of course if we play to our potential we should win this but Chelsea do have players that can hurt us. It's gonna be a nervy game to watch.
