Chelsea (N) - EFL Cup Final, Sun 25th Feb 2024 (3:00pm)

[Scott_M]

I know we love one and our record in them is generally very good, my main concern on Sunday is a shootout. 
 

Of the players who scored in the League Cup Final, only VVD, Salah, Robertson, Elliott, Konate and Keheller will be available on Sunday, if Mo even makes it. 
 

From the FA Cup Final, only Tsmiskas will be available! 
 

Apparently their US keeper has a reputation for being good at saving them. 
 

My top picks for us would be Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Trent & maybe VVD. Jones and Jota not far behind them. Obviously only Mac Allister and VVD will be available. 
 

IMO, even if they are only fit enough to take their penalties, Mo & Szoboszlai need to be on the bench for the possibility.

I'm not as confident as I was a few weeks ago but we should have enough to beat these muppets. Just fucking batter them. Send all those maggot Chelsea supporters back home crying in their piss-stained Wranglers. Chelsea cunts.

 

2-1 win to the Redmen. 

 

We're fucking shite.

I'd be more concerned about the additional 30 mins that would have preceded the shoot out and its effect on our already stretched squad.

Is there a pub near Wembley where our fans normally gather before Cup finals?

They have those shite 'fan zones' and in addition Liverpool fans are allocated The Torch  - but it will be chocker - almost impossible to get the bar in and shite.

 

Usually just means being outside with cans from offies...but they have really cracked down on it in recent years - offies not selling and a ban on street drinking which is enforced heavily.....They are of course trying to herd people into the shite fan zones.

 

Wembley is fucking abysmal now for a drink.

Did we request the Luton game to be sooner rather than later.

Does anyone know why Chelsea did not play his PL game Wednesday like we did ?

 

I do not understand how come they could rest when we had to play three days before the biggest match ever !

 

Wednesday was our only free slot for the rest of the season if we win the next 2 rounds of the fa cup and remain in europe. We had no choice but to use it. Chelsea and spurs aren't in Europe, so not as rushed. It could be worse, had we not won our uefa cup group, we'd have had a uefa game on Thursday and still had the Luton game to schedule. 

 

And as for Sunday. Just fucking win. No matter how.

3-1 to Chelsea

As mentioned, we don’t have the Green Man. Having the East Stand is a bit shite, nowhere near as many places to go.

 

We’ve got Box Park on WW, which I think is decent. However, their website is adamant they aren’t showing the game.

And they're closing the bar at 2. Apparently police orders are all those pubs for both clubs should be emptied at 2. Which is going to cause chaos if there's loads without ticket. Hopefully there won't be many of them. 

 

I'm more worried about what the touts will be circulating in way of forgeries. You can screen shot the QR from your wallet.

And Klopp's BVB lost a DFB Cup Final to Wolfsburg.

 

Doesn't alter the fact that Chelsea will stuff us.

That isn't supposed to work.

 

I still don't have one. If I do pay OTT for one, I'll be making sure I get there when the turnstiles open.

Whoever is selected will do us proud,we are the Mighty reds !

Let's hope so. But that can still cause it's own chaos at ticket checks. My QR is identical now to what it was when I downloaded, it doesn't change like the latest Ticketmaster ones do. And it definitely screen shots.
