“This years FA Cup Final will be between the juggernaut that is the mighty Liverpool against the nouveau riche Chelsea .The teams will step onto the hallowed turf at quarter to five knowing they can write their names in the history books . The teams are approaching this game with very different form however traditionally form goes out of the window in these classic one off games .Both teams have very settled systems of play even if personnel change , Liverpool will almost certainly be without Fabhino following an injury against Villa , so expect a close tense affair with probably just one goal separating the teams . When they last met in a FA Cup Final in 2012 Chelsea won 2-1 though Liverpool so nearly took it to extra time when Petr Cech pulled off a great save from an Andy Carroll header which was so close to being over the line that Carroll celebrated scoring what would have been his second goal after coming on as a substitute .

Been saving up some negativity for this occasion
This will be mega tough
Think all games are now - we may have rotated but it’s the mental side and every game for us is huge
Just hope we can win this cause I really want us to pick up this pot
Big ask though Chavs have been chilling for weeks
I hope for the best
Come on lads let’s do this

Need to rest players for the final league games. I think we should also break from 4-3-3 it's becoming predictable. I'd like to see us try a 5-4-1, it's a good game to experiment in.

Also would love to see Karius return, give him a chance to say goodbye to the Kop before he moves on in the summer

Hahahahahaha <laugh> that is a good one

Forgotten he’d existed then was amazed to find out he was somehow still our property when I thought about the last time we played Real

Probably a victim of circumstance all told but no way does he need that kind of gesture

In the stands. He can wave to the crowd all he wants, it's better than seeing him wave to the ball as it sails past him into the net.

P.S. please tell me you were having a giraffe.

'A Lazy Referee Who Is Overreliant On VAR' - Former Official On Man Who Will Take Charge Of FA Cup Final Between Liverpool & Chelsea
Former FIFA and Premier League official Keith Hackett has questioned the decision to award the FA Cup final to referee Craig Pawson
 
Can't wait.

This is the one I've been waiting for. Would love to win this one.

The oil fascists team is relatively easy to predict. The only question is around kante and I've not heard on him

Mendy
Azpi silva rudiger
James kante kovacic alonso
Mount havertz werner

Pulisic and lukaku there to come on.

All mercenary scum.

Azpi wants to go but they activated a clause
Christensen is gone
Rudiger is gone

It'll be a.massive ding done this weekend

Alisson
Trent konate vvd robertson
Henderson milner thiago
Salah mane Diaz


Yes we need milner. Shut up.

If we want to experiment and be unpredictable, why not 1-4-5? Sounds fun. Could go:

Karius
Van Dijk
Trent - Hendo - Firmino - Thiago
Salah - Mane - Jota - Origi - Diaz​
