Strike

Only acceptable answer is they’re shielding him for the final

Even a decent one would be hitting it first time

Not again with Haaland getting a pen from a corner

What a chance for Jackson. Really poor attempt in the end

Phew. The robot misses

Trent, Szoboszlai and Allison out too.

Jota Jones and Nunez injured in this game

Quite crazy how good Cech was. He went the right way with every penalty in the 12 final. Saved 3/6

Unlike Lampard, he's a serious coach but I would rather keep Poch than bring in Tuchel right now. He was great in 2020-21 when he came in and immediately fixed what Lampard was getting wrong. Credit where its due for figuring out what to do with the pieces he had that season but there was no progression from there and the team never began playing with attacking patterns, he reverted to a back 3 at the first sign of trouble.

I'm here to get disappointed all over again

And the fact that Drogba seems to be in his ear. The news that PSG is going for him doesn’t mean we are out of the race.

No no no Get the best available option in. We did the waiting already last few seasons. There’s nothing to be gained by waiting. Since we are spending recklessly on teenagers and in other positions, what’s another 40m on Jonathan David or Ivan Toney or whoever we can grab ?

Returning this weekend unfortunately

I can imagine and there was evidence of it in the last week vs Villa. Unfortunately age has finally caught up with him.

Don't see Wirtz coming here. Antonio Silva is still a possibility.

Don’t see us closing a 12 point gap to 5th Others may drop points but no chance we are that consistent that we pick up 10 wins from here

Szboszlai is injured, Salah is yet to make his return from injury and TAA is also carrying a knock. Means nothing when their backup young RB scored a goal and got two assists in the recent game but if Poch gets his selection right, this is a game that can be won. No Thiago Silva, no Sterling or Mudryk.

I think the tweet is right. It is worded as the first 45 mins The one shot came in stoppage time in first half

Petrovic Gusto Disasi Colwill Chilwell ------- Caicedo Enzo Palmer Connor Jackson -------Nkunku Should be the team in the cup final. Half of them pick themselves due to injuries

0.00 xG in the first half. Very unconvincing win after Villa Park in the week Onto City and Liverpool

Typical start vs Palace without Olise, Eze, Guehi. Unlike Villa, they are here to sit deep and counter. We will struggle today

The same thing but sign a quality LW and use Jackson as cover in attack

Not getting Europe through the league. The top 5 are 15 points ahead. Poch needs the League cup

I'd love it if we got a midfielder like Eze or Paqueta too.

It’s funny that Belle Silva was posting about making changes. The first change should have been Silva dropped. He needs to be brought in only if needed for a while. He can’t play week in week out anymore.
