Pizy

Our bench is absolutely fucking insane. Better than most first XI's. At least we have plenty of firepower to change things if we're struggling. Other than in the middle of the park that is.

The bad feeling I had about this match hasn't subsided after seeing the lineup. I think we'll be able to contain them well enough but I'm worried about our attack.

Man. We'll be totally reliant on Hazard for width. Also means Iva will probably be bombing forward more and abandoning his post. I would've started Luis for Azpi. Let us pray that Oscar shows up today.

PLEASE!

Pogba will be our new squad #8 next season anyways, not Mata or Oscar.

I'd definitely love him back but I don't see why he'd want to come back and basically be in the same situation he's in at United. He'd be a squad player here as well.He needs to move to another country where he'd be the main man again and an every match starter.

Same here. I'd be very confident if Matić were available. I can see Cesc being bullied out of the game by West Ham's midfield thugs and we'll struggle in the middle of the park because of it.I think this'll be a very tight and nervy match with a single jammy goal deciding it. Hopefully in our favor.

The hell would Guardiola lower himself to Man City's level and manage them? They're way too small time for him. Simeone or Ancelotti I can see. My guess is they throw the moon and stars at Simeone and make him an offer he can't refuse. He'll probably accept too because there's not much more he can do at Atleti and in Spain.

This is what I'd like to see as well but I can't see José benching Oscar again however much he deserves it.

Yeah, Courtois will obviously be back in there and I'm gonna guess Luis and Oscar.

I really, REALLY hope none of our rivals sign him. Would be embarrassing for us if he goes to United or City or Liverpool and carries on this form. Hopefully Bayern will take him.

The FA gonna fine José for injuring the camera guy with some water droplets?

This is going to be very very tough. Chelsea are in town so levels will be raised as usual.

Lionsden owes José a handy.

Welp. Whatever happens it'll be hilarious. If we beat Spuds with Cahill in midfield...

That's me done watching this game.

Consider yourself lucky. I have Phil Neville on the commentary here. His voice sounds like a teenagers.And he keeps calling Olivier Giroud "Oliver Ja Rude."

You're right that they were embarrassing yesterday. Which is exactly why I think they'll play out of their skin against us.I agree that we shouldn't NEED Matić to beat them but I'm definitely more nervous about the match with him out.

If only Matić was available for West Ham midweek. With that Liverpool result and with an 8 point lead at stake I think we'd go in there and dominate them. It'll be much tougher without him.

Is there a more pointless and redundant footballer than Nasri? I swear that I can't even think of what he does exactly. No pace, doesn't score, rarely assists, can't dribble an opponent. Just strolls around the pitch with no urgency and is invisible 95% of the time.

Hopefully Liverpool don't crumble in the second half like I think they will. City will ramp it up knowing they need to win.

Our official Twitter account was tweeting the wrong hashtag. Rather than #ChelseaAtWembley they kept saying #ChelseaWembley. That, and they never even specifically asked for people to tweet out the official contest hashtag. It obviously wouldn't have been close if they had since we have literally 5x as many followers than they have.

We all know West Ham won't play like this on Wednesday.

Please no stripes on the kit... Make it as simple and minimalist as possible, Adidas. The Yokohama logo is pretty nice looking and won't ruin the shirt like Chevy on United's.

I have a feeling City will batter Liverpool. They look very poor here and will be knackered at the weekend.
