This mob of ours failed to turn up against the Arse, Brighton, then the Cup final, then Villa.

There's nothing that tells me we have the remotest chance of turning up against Shitty, I think we going to get slaughtered.

I won't watch it live, going to record it, then Sunday morning find out the score, and if by some miracle we get a result i'll watch it then.

Sorry to be so negative I just can stand watching Chelsea get beat.

I am quite sure we will lose as well but for the slimest of chacnes this might end well I will still watch. Even if there is just 1% chance it is worth witnessing it live IMO. I am a calm and reserved guy usually but when Drogba scored that pen in 2012 (traumatized from JT's miss I fully expected himto miss) I roared into the night until my whole block was awake. I will never in my life forget that night of celebration. A 1:100 chance of living such a night again is good enough for me.

this is a final and fianls are usually closer than when the teams would meet in the league. Our team will be nervous but so will City.  I can totally see this going to pens again....not optimistic cos TT already said that either Kepa or Mendy will probably be between the posts for the shootout and Ederson is a beast in shootouts....I think we are even more underdogs than in Munich, back then we had Big Pete, Drogs and Lamps who we knew would always turn up but all the situations you mentioned we were favourites and it suffocated us,maybe the underdog role suits us better here

you forgot the ultimate not show up

😿

on the positive side, that is pretty much ever shit game we have had under Tuchel, other than his first game (nil nil with wolves) and the 1 1 draw with SOTON, as we got robbed in that Manure game (same as the first Manure game under Lamps)

I think Citeh will have more nerves

and ffs, use Willy if we go to pens!!!!!

I would have had him watching no stop vids of Citeh and pens

fill his brain so it's 2nd nature no matter who takes them for them

For sure. They have choked everytime at some stage of CL under Pep until this season. For sure they are due another bottle job. This is why i dont doubt we will create chances en masse. I am just afraid we will be too incompetent to convert them.

I am afraid TT has no idea what a pen master Willy is. And if they tried 20 pens in training and they all were scored, surely Willy was not in goal. We will surely lose any shootout with Mendy in goal

the gap between Mendy as a regular open play GK and Mendy as a pen saver is CRAY

he is HORRID at pens

and surely, if we all know Willy is a pen master, Tuchel knows

it is the cause of the biggest Chels GK drama in club history

the Kepa v Sarri nightmare

I honestly feel like doing the same but losing is apart of the game... and you have to face these kind of moments. It makes the victories taste even sweeter. I think if you tune in to social media and watch the post match coverage after losing tomorrow... you are basically commuting suicide.

maybe but TT has not used Willy at all so i odubt he will start doing so in a CL final -.-

You are right. Mendy has just the worst approach to pens. kneeling down and reacting late. He bascially covers just the lower middle portion of the goal. Luckily Agüero didn't know when he tried that panenka but I am sure now they all know and will rifle them into the corners. With kepa he at least has saved a couple of pens, i think he saved 2 in shootouts (Eintracht and Spurs) which we won and another one in the League cup final 2019 where we lost. Willy if he still got it and is sharp enough after not playing I am sure would give us a decent chance. Most ManCity players were already at the club when he was there so for sure he knows most of their moves.

Team I expect from City: Ederson, Zinchenko, Dias, Stones, Walker, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, Mahrez, Foden, KDB.

[Supermonkey 38]

Werner mount and pulisic or havertz? 

[Mário César 1,284]

Im just feeling 2008 vibes everywhere. fuck i hate this sensation

i had the feeling that everyone want city victory.

will hurt if Chelsea loose. please, nothing close to 2008 final, ffs. I prefer lose 4-0 than lose in a dramatic way

I heard but it is not serious. He should be fine.

Anyway, we lost 4 of the last 5 finals. 

Sarri 1-1

Lampard 0-2

Tuchel 0-1

Twice on pens. 

It is our turn to win ffs!

Football doesn't work like that, do I need to remind you the teams that beat us the last season we won it?

My worry is that this game will be a bit like the Real away game. Open brightly, should be 2 or 3 up by 25 mins, conceded a goal out of nothing. However, unlike Real, I see City dominating once they get their goal.

Know what you mean BBW - but we've beaten em twice this season. Definitely has nothing like the feeling of 2012 though

Well..to be fair that 2012 final had different things going for it. It was partly about that group of players (Drogba, Lampard and Terry), and partly about the club...because both had tried so many times to come close, but ultimately fail to win.

I honestly haven't even bothered much to draw comparisons to 2012., and have pointedly tried not to watch highlights from that tournament for the past few months.

This is different. This is a chance for the club to not just be a CL winner, but also be a club that has won it more than once. That to me, is different class.

It will be difficult, but my feeling is that Chelsea has always been superior in Europe, and has contributed to some of the most fantastic matches ever.

So let's see.

[DDA 9,945]

IT'S THE BIG DAY!!!

Win or Lose we are Chelsea through and through... let's get behind our club tonight and will them onto victory. 

KTBFFH!!!
