the match is almost upon us and I would just like to say one thing, Best of luck guys. I have no idea who will walk out of this with the cup and I believe it will be a very exciting match.

I am also glad no Manchester team made it so one of them will end the season trophy-less.

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole, Mikel Lampard, Ramires Mata Kalou, Drogba.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel Agger Enrique, Henderson Spearing, Kuyt Gerrard Downing,Suarez.

something like that?

FUUUUUUU

If we lose now, Its your fault

Sorry? what is the problem?

It's the superstitious thing about who makes match threads to give us maximum chance of winning


Our recent record against Chelsea is superb, so that gives me confidence.
I'm not sure if I want Kuyt starting. Maybe rather Carroll. Maybe.

Mata, Ramires, Ivanovic and Drogba worry me.

honestly, Drogba will be up for it, I have no doubt he will start, and be very dangerous. that being said, Torres from the bench is also pretty Dangerous recently.

Ramires will be a workhorse as always, he was rested for this game too, however, we might have Bosingwa playing RB so I personally would pair Suarez up against him. Ramires has to have a killer game if we are to win.

Ivanovic is only dangerous from corners and isn't that good in CB, I hope Luiz gets fit in time so he can play RB and Luiz in CB.

personally, you guys should be worried about Frank and Mata. Frank has been great in DLP and Mata will destory you if given the space. add to that your weakened midfield and you guys could be in trouble in the center.

I have a feeling it will end 2-1 or 3-1 with Drogba scoring at least once.

I think Ivanovic is a very fine CB and a beast at corner kicks.

Lampard has to outsmart somebody to create anything, our midfield and defence are a hundred times more mobile than him. If they concentrate, they'll keep him quiet.

if you close down the runners Lampard won't do much, but the problem is, can any of your players keep up with Ramires and Sturridge?

Ivanovic is a good CB but I prefer Luiz and Cahill (yes, I did just say that.)

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique
Henderson Gerrard
Bellamy Suarez Maxi
Carroll

GOGOOOG

Johnson and Enrique are athletic enough to keep up with Ramires and Sturridge. But obviously there will be unpredictable situations in a game (plus Johnson switches off from time to time).

Maxi vs Bosingwa? you would be much better off playing Bellamy or Suarez there.

I didn't think Enrique was that fast. Johnson is but if he attacks and Ramires is on that side, it could be CL first leg all over again. Lampard over the top to Ramires who is in space left by RB, Drogba in for the goal.

As I said, there are unpredictable situations in a game. On paper, Ramires and Sturridge won't get past Johnson and Enrique simply by out-pacing them. But I'm sure there will be moments in the match where these players give us problems. I just hope we'll give more problems to your guys

NOOOOO FRAKKK THIS THREAD. CLOSE IT Red!!!!! please!!! This is by far the most important game of the season. We need Nishank or atleast a Pool fan creating it.

No offense Kick, we are just a superstitious bunch over here.

I don't believe in that sort of stuff

I understand if you want the thread deleted.

Yes please, someone delete it.

Nah, come on, this is as good as any. I just wish it was already Saturday!

Roman called me, he told me about how if I posted this you guys would lose, so I did.

Only kidding, If I had of known I wouldn't have posted it.

Messiah cool down mate! ! King's record against the blues is good enough to not be superstitious :king:

Kick . . from my part its cool mate . . i am just a little too confident we all would have the last laugh in this thread . . .

IMO, it's 50/50.

I think it is all going to come down to Bosingwa, and the Strikers. Whoever has the best game, will win.

Lol I'm just giving Kick a hard time , I'm way too anxious and nervous awaiting this game to care about who creates a thread.

I had a nightmare about this game. I overslept my alarm and didn't wake up on time to catch the game When I checked the highlights Chelsea had won 1:0 with Torres grabbing the goal on the stroke of halftime. And he celebrated by running (Adebayoresque) all the way to the Liverpool fans and kissing the Chelsea badge.

Much better off playing Maxi. Trust.

I honestly think if Torres scores he won't celebrate. But I doubt he will score before 60-70th minute as Drogba will be starting.

Suarez has scored in all three of his FA Cup appearances for the Reds. :O

Drogba's scored in every match he's played at Wembley, hasn't he?

Yes, 7 goals in 7 matches.

Consider this warning...

If LFC should lose. Samuel L. Jackson will come for you...
