Carabao Cup Final (Chelsea) pre-match thread

[Mon Autre]

Would have preferred Sane over one of KDB or Silva.

I expect Muric will be disappointed to not be playing but today's selection doesn't take away from the contribution he's made in getting us to the final today.

Very harsh on Muric when he’s played well in previous games. Reminds me of a few years ago

no room for sentiment in todays game, loyalty is a distant memory of yester year sadly.

Looking at the Chelsea team, it seems that Sarri is looking to play the same tactics as the Stamford Bridge game.

Get lucky for 43 minutes without having a sniff and then fluke a goal?

As Pep said, they caused us more trouble first half at the Etihad than they did first half at Stamford Bridge.

No Jesus at all? Is he injured?

Yes

 

[jimharri]

I was hoping that Stones might have made it today.

Pep has no favourites he’s ruthless and picks the team he thinks will win the game

That often gets said as fact but he does get things wrong sometimes. He has favourites.

Who’s his favourites?

We will have to agree to differ on this one.Do you think the job he is doing isn’t good enough? We have to put our full trust in him the man is a winner
