Caballero has featured in every League Cup game this season and is set to feature between the sticks at Wembley on Sunday.

Previewing the encounter, he added: "I feel the confidence of the boss to bring me into this game. I try to enjoy it, and try to improve every week.

"I have to be ready for this date, which will be fantastic for us. I think it will be a great final.

"We must be ready for everything, even for penalties. Beating Liverpool will be fantastic but it won't be easy, so we must play well, defend well and be solid.

"The most important thing is to win, it doesn't matter how."
 
If Pellegrini judges he' lost confidence and that the wobbles will be there on Sunday then he has to drop him, otherwise he will play him.

He looked a solid keeper in the other Cup games, and I think there has been an over-reaction to the goals he conceded. He's been blamed for goals which he could do nothing about eg the 5th. That one made him look daft, but could Hart do any better? Came at an angle which he could do nothing about.
 
I think these quotes from Caballero were from an interview he did last week, prior to the Chelsea debacle so I wouldn't necessarily read too much into them.

Still think he'll play though, and it's the wrong decision in my opinion.

I think 99.9% would agree with you Ric. Unfortunately the man that picks the team is the 0.1%. Maybe Txiki will tell him to pick Joe.
 
We wouldn't even be in this final but for that save from Delofeu.

Don't rate him but I never rated Pants either.
 
I would thank him for getting us this far in the competition, but he really isn't good enough.
We're in the final so we need a simple strategy. Play our strongest 11 and win the game.
 
The last goalie dropped from a final left a bad taste and was a bad omen before the game started. The fifth goal on Sunday was reminiscent of quite a few I saw in my days as a whistling wanker on Greenbank Playing Fields and Hough End, let in by someone who was probably working out the order for the post-match meeting in the pub.

However, Willie sez he is being helped a lot by Joe, so, Joe, get yer fuckin' finger out and get Willie upto speed!
 
Pantilimon would have played if he hadn't gone to the press the day before saying he was leaving. Personally couldnt care less if it upsets the press/Caballero/Caballeros mum, he's shite and I want to win.
 
Pantillimon being dropped wasnt really on because he wasn't absolutely awful, a lot of us felt like he had earned his place in the final so it was a little unfair to drop him. Willy on the other hand (ooh-er missus) is a liability and i think the defence would breathe a sigh of relief if he was dropped. Here's hoping!

He got his angles wrong for that goal and his reaction time was appalling. The free kick was an embarrassment for a proffesional goalkeeper and the one that went through him I'd have expected any goalkeeper who's older than 14 to keep it out. The first wasn't really down to him and the other one wasn't a mistake, but again his angles could and should have been better, he made the goal bigger instead of smaller.
He made a great save when it was fired at him in the first half and he deserves credit for the penalty.
Every other aspect of his game was severely lacking on Sunday.

It will be hard on Willy if he lets Joe play the final. Only joking. Totally different to Pantilimon in the Wigan final. He deserved to play that game and John Thomas of Argentina doesn't.

Pretty sure that Pants would have played in the FA cup final had he not said during the week leading up to the final that he was going to leave at the end of the season
 
It's a squad game.

If Joe plays and we win Willy will deserve his medal for playing in the other rounds and especially for playing well against Everton. If Willy plays we probably lose.

When we won the league in 2012 Joe played all 38 games and was the only keeper to get a medal. In 2014 Joe played 31 times, Costel played 7 and both got medals. Given the fact that Joe was the better keeper but his form slumped mid season I think it's fair to say that if either of them had played all 38 games we probably wouldn't have won the league that year.What's the difference?
 
Willy plays we don't have much of a chance.
Joe plays and we have a reasonable chance.
There is only one logical choice.
Sadly this is Pellegrini's logic.

Prick has some nerve there. If only he had it on the field rather than flapping like an 11 year old.
