Silva and Rudiger will be allowed to do what ever they like. We won’t get anything from the ref today.

Decent team.

KDB for creativity with 2 DMs to allow him to push forward and take some risks with having some protection behind him. A front 3 that can all score and FBs that can attack.

Interesting that there are 2 CDMs

Worked well against Leicester. Think pep likes that balance when mendy plays against better sides. Allows mendy to bomb on and fern or rodri can cover

 

[Heath Park]

Nothing that special there...

Torres, Sterling and Jesus, come on, time to get your form back and show your worth.

I think Mendy vs Ziyech is favorable to Mendy btw ;) Cmon City!!!!!

 

[OntarioBlue]

Not sure what to make of that. Cancelo has been poor the last two times out. Who knows what to expect with Mendy. Sterling has been off form all season.

Definitely not my preferred starting Eleven. We‘ll probably win 4-0 then.

I looked at Chelsea's side and I dont even know if its their best or close to it.

Kepa playing should be good for us, Giroud seems to be their best striker, I think the fans hate Jorginho so maybe thats good....Ziyech hasn't played much but he was amazing at Ajax...


Dont remember the last time we played someone in a big game and I didnt know what to expect at all or how strong a lineup they've put out.

No idea why anybody can see a side with Torres and sterling as our wide players and their first thought is mendy. Sterling and torres had their opportunity to earn a place in the team last week, they failed miserably. No idea why they are getting another shot in a semi final. A lot of pressure on kdb to produce the goods today.

Torres to be fair to him at least got a goal. Sterling however needs 14 chances to scores once, hopefully he can find his form again today, but i can almost guarantee he won't...

Not many goals in that team In current form. still a good team and wise use of the squad.
