Closed Liverpool v Chelsea

[Barbara 15,149]

I'm (positively) surprised Luís is playing. Maybe he's finally convincing Mourinho to take a risk (I don't mean Mou has been unfair, but that Luís hasn't been good enough)

Azpi back on the bench, good news. No Schurrle or Salah tonight.

ohhh, I forgot he's been injured... lol

[LAM09 6,845]

Agree. To be honest I didn't expect this strong line up. Come on..

Neither did I, but Mourinho wants this tie over tonight.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Nervous as hell about this, but also massively excited.

[supporter 3,088]

With a midfield with Mikel - Matic I hope to see Fabregas much more released into the pitch ... and maybe now see a new show it. NO FABREGAS NO PARTY.

Although maybe I'm sad about Zouma ...

I expected to see him in the starting eleven ...

But I trust a lot in our guys. I hope to see at the end of tonight's headline:

"Chelsea shows his hegemony".

Aim for victory!

Regards to all.

Mikel

433 in disguise

confident about this

lol, Liverpool weird line up leaked before are real.

No Schurrle and Salah again. I think they will be soled.

They will play this weekend anyway

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Feeling Mikel will have the game of his life tbh.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Why is everyone surprised about no Salah? He spends his life at home anyway

[Liquidator 5,176]

Oi Brendan you transvestite shagging wanker why are you parking the bus and playing with no striker at home

[GhanaBoy 104]

any stream(s) for the game ?

[EMK 7]

Really dissapointed at the line-up, would have loved Remy to start and Ramires. Just have to put up to it I guess

[Vytis33 1,174]

any stream(s) for the game ?

This.

So Matic always plays...

Say you think Mikel is good enough to play these odd games; then we still have a problem that Matic has no replacement. I wanted Mikel to play instead of Matic otherwise what's the freaking point?

the problem isn't that the next game only takes place in the weekend, but that Matic played on Saturday and he's playing a tough match again so soon - he never rests. This increases the likelihood of a muscle problem. And this is only going to get worse. Instead of playing Cup opponents (yes liverpool included here), we will be playing twice a week against Cl finalists soon enough.

So Matic always plays...

Matic isn't the only player who "always plays" if you look at the line up.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Hmm, no one noticed, or no one complain about Cech not starting, despite his latest game performance. And I have seen people asking why no Salah, Schurrle, why not start Ramires, Zouma (not yet, but, I believe there will). This forum is quite strange sometimes.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Surprised Oscar is dropped in the form he's in.

This is our big game lineup with the exception of Azpi. Oscar can't start ahead of Cesc, and Mou won't use him on the wings.

[The Chels 2,502]

I always find it harsh when players who do well throughout the competiton and play all the lesser games are dropped at the SFs stage.

I agree. Remy shouldn't have been dropped imo. he's scored in virtually every cup game this season.

[ZaynCFC 27]

Courtois >>> Cech. Face it!

Loserpool city is shit. The club is shit. The fans are shit.
