The man has had a knee operation. Back in the days this kind of thing ended footballer's careers, or they could play only amateur soccer. Science has made conisderable progress but how much progress ?

Gr time is Swe time + 1. So if you post at 16.40 it's 17.40 our time i.e. five minutes to half time of the match ! But is that Swe time depicted here in CFC forum ? If it is 16:40 UK time then that makes it 5 minutes to full time - imposs. So it's 16:40 Gr time and 15.40 your time - twenty minutes before kick off. Has to be. What time do they know the lineups (time bfore kick off !).

Poch read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alitalia

These are the starting lineups. It says posted at 16:40 Sunday. Where did you get them from ? Also is the 16:40 I see here my local time (Greece time) ? If it is 16:40 in Greece it is 14:40 in the UK. I want to see the lineups for tomorrow to see if Poch will start with Jackson again or Nkunku.

Poch made four changes during the 120 minutes. Klop made six changes. None of these changes was forced. Whereas it looked as if Liverpool were running out of stamina, the opposite thing happened during extra time. Why this happened ? If there was no extra time nobody would blame Poch and if in fact Chelsea had won in normal time the guilty man might have been Klop. It looks like Poch's big gaff was taking out Gallagher and replacing him with Madueke. But what else did go wrong ? Should Poch have subbed more players ?

Poch f*cked things up in the extra time.

That we kept L'pool from scoring in the first half was an achievment. We had two chances but they had the ball 80% of the time. In the second half they gradually lost their legs but we could do nothing. In extra time the tired legs was us. How did Poch manage that ?

Yes but b***dy how ? Mudryk was supposed to be the new Rivelinho, Enzo the new Platini.

Forget Mudryk. He is good only to deliver pizza.

Madueke was fresh and the Liverpool defenders could not stop him. But because he is an idiot he wasted every ball.

True - Pool players cannot be blamed for missing their chances because our defense saved - just like Gallagher can't be blamed for hitting the post. But our front men were once again useless.

Amidst the halabaloo here is another player that proves useless - Nkunku.

Poch out.

Pool are on the backfoot.

All Gallagher had to do was use his left foot.

Won't play till March you say here.

Is Salah playing ? Bet365 are offering a bet for Salah over 0.5 shots at goal.

City lived dangerously. But why did we give Kovacic to them ? He 's not playing for Roma now - it's City.

So it's Chelsea versus Tsimikas, is it ?

Pool are no better than City.

The fall of the house of Tuchel - by Edgar Allan Poe.

Parking the bus means the opposition are not allowed to create chances. Not the battle of Gravia inn. We played 11 men in the box like third division side, not like a mid table premiership team. We played like Newcastle who were 2-0 ahead and lost to City.

Man to man, like Tuchel. We scored in the first half in that match and kept the 1-0. City had to try to reach our half - which they did but not every minute.

Mudryk and Madueke could give them a run but they 'd have to get the ball to do that. Rather Gilchrist. I did n't like the way they could carry the ball from the midfield unopposed to right inside our box. I call this Alamo, not defensive play.

Maybe he spotted who looked tired. But why Challobah after such a long absence in such crucial circumstances ?
