Pizy

If we could by some miracle sell both Werner and Lukaku this summer and sign replacements for both we could take that next step. But I just can’t see who would take either of them for the money we’d be looking for.

Us repeatedly getting attackers into super dangerous positions and then having them choke on the finish will hopefully assure that Tuchel doesn’t allow us to go into next season without a couple of upgrades.

Morale should be super high now with us needing 1 point from these last two matches.🙄🙄🙄 The triple gut lunch of losing to Liverpool in another final, doing so on pens again, AND keeping their quadruple hopes alive is just awful. The positive that can be taken from all these matches against them this season, though, is that we can 100% go toe to toe with some of the best sides in the world. We are just a few signings away. Lastly, as I’ve said for ages now Azpi is completely washed now. He absolutely MUST be allowed to leave this summer. Let him sail off into the sunset and live the easy life in Barca. He is totally a busted flush now and it’s sad as hell to watch.

So literally exactly as I feared. They’re targeting Chalobah every time. Just smack a long diagonal to Diaz over and over and he can’t deal with him. Embarrassing that this is how we’ve turned up to a huge final. Like an overawed Championship side.

Incredibly annoying that the FA Cup rights here in America are with ESPN and are therefor paywalled behind their stupid fucking subscription service that nobody uses. So now I have to watch a terrible, unreliable stream. 😒

You’ve got to assume that much of Liverpool’s attacking game plan will be to isolate Diaz on Chalobah as often as possible. Force him to panic and make mistakes. Same thing he did in the last game against us. I just hope we don’t allow them to blitz us at the start and we’re just immediately facing wave after wave of attack.

Don’t tell me Christensen is injured or sick again…. Havertz not even being an option off the bench today is a big blow. Not really a single game changing attacker who you’d trust on our bench today. 😩

Good as Rom has been these last couple of games I’m torn on whether he should start this. Logic would say you ride the in form player, but the likes of VVD and Matip are at their best against big, powerful strikers. The main reason Lukaku has been so effective these last games is because he has been able to bully the CB’s. He pins them and is able to receive the ball at his feet, hold it up, and then pass it off. Those are the types of situations that VVD is nearly unstoppable in. Going for a highly mobile, super quick forward line might be best. Werner on one flank and Mount towards the other trying to force Trent and Robertson back with Havertz’s movement up top. My biggest fear by far is that Tuchel will opt for the Azpi as the wingback with James as the RCB shit again. If we do that it’s going to be awful to watch.

True. He does indeed still appear to be lightning quick and super athletic despite being nearly 34. Doesn’t look to have lost a step. If the idea is to gradually ease Chilly back into the team at the start of next season then Perisić makes sense. He’s certainly a colossal upgrade over Alonso or playing Pulisic/CHO there.

Perisić would’ve been very exciting 5 years ago. Very strange signing now, though.

Having just watched a compilation on YouTube of Koulibaly from this season he does still look like a beast. But it also looks like he plays in the same exact central CB position that Thiago Silva does. We need left and right sided CB’s.

We conceded 4 goals to this shower of shit. Literally handed them all of them on a plate… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

We wanted a draw here right? So Spuds winning isn’t great?

I haven’t heard Koulibaly’s name in like 2 years. I thought he had long faded from his top class best? He’s also just about to turn 31 in a months time. Seems like the exact opposite sort of player we would sign. Only reason we signed Silva despite his age was because of his familiarity with Tuchel and the fact that he was free.

I wasn’t saying it in a negative way. I meant that they’re all incredibly excited. Get the feeling that United are going to be spending ludicrous money this summer. So I hope our targets and theirs are different because they’ll probably blow any offers we make out of the water. They’ll be desperate to not get left behind and will want to give ten Hag everything he needs to hit the ground running. After they get De Jong I’d imagine they’ll also target another midfielder. De Jong to replace Pogba and a proper, young DM to replace Matic. If they go head to head with us for either Rice or Tchouameni we could be in trouble.

United fans are losing their minds because apparently some super reliable source says they’re getting Frenkie De Jong for €80m.

I’m on my knees, Chelsea. Kill this game within the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼 With the dreadful luck and mistakes this season I can’t take another one. If this stays at 0-1 until the late stages you just know a Christensen or Chalobah slip when they’re the last man will allow some cunt who hasn’t score in 40 appearances to steal one.

Everything but the final ball is there. So frustrating. Maybe Ziyech time for Pulisic? CP isn’t going to be of much use against a parked bus.

Cannot allow this to get nervy and have the crowd get into it thinking they can score.

Lukaku looks as sharp and dangerous as he did initially this season. We keep feeding him and he will score here.

At 0-1, all it takes is a single fluke set pice or corner for disaster. We NEED to score again to be comfortable.

That’s an ankle breaking tackle, fucking hell. No let off now. Don’t think we have this win like Arse did last weekend. Have to score again.

Better than the alternative which is Sarr or someone like Saul playing out of position. At least Alonso will occasionally have a decent attacking game. Azpi on the other hand is done so I’m glad he’s been benched.

This is the sort of opponent that Lukaku should thrive against. Leeds are normally wide open at the back and they concede goals for fun. If we conspire to give away some Charity FC goals and lose this I may resort to self harm…

Think Grealish will turn out well. Expect him to be much better to start next season.
