Topic: Chelsea - schooled by Liverpool's kids

[wampa1]

I felt a bit for Disasi as he really tried to stop VVD's header and was devastated when it went in, couldn't care less about the rest of them though.

Connor Gallagher seems alright.

[Legs]

Singing the Slippy G song on 90 seconds is when I knew we'd win. Fucking losers ffs. Imagine that being your first big song. Absolute irrelevance of a fucking fanbase.

Seems abit fucking silly when we’ve beat them in 3 finals on the trot now morons

[stoa]

Connor Gallagher seems alright.

He might be, if he can stop falling over whenever someone looks at him. Until then he'll be a diving prick. Plus he cuts up his socks like a fucking moron. Just for that he deserves a 10 month ban the fucking idiot...

[Hazell]

Connor Gallagher seems alright.

Wasn't keen on the links to him in the summer but actually been impressed with him when I've seen him play (a low bar I know). Still a snarky, diving prick though.

[Draex]

Plastic c*nts. Deserve nothing.

[DelTrotter]

Nkunku got a lot of hype after the goal v Wolves but he looks a bit shit so far though early days still, seems a very awkward fit, can’t play wide or up top on his own.

[rafathegaffa83]

Still a snarky, diving prick though.

Unbelievable the amount of times he collapsed in a heap.

[MonsLibpool]

We had absolutely no pace and outlet up front for most of the game and Poch pretty much plays a low-block.

Lucho was incredible in that respect. Really stepped up today.

[B0151?]

Should they though? Not sure I’d heard of most of their players before they signed them for silly money.

So far very few have proven the money paid was anywhere close to worth it.

Nah I agree with you. That's why I say on paper.  But to be fair we had 4 academy lads on there that I had barely heard of before this season!

Thing is I'm pretty sure if some of the players they signed were in our team, they'd look a lot better. Just they've set them up to fail a bit with their transfer strategy and being completely reliant on nearly a whole new team of young lads.

Doesn’t every footballer?

[decosabute]

Am I right in assuming that there's no scenario where these can qualify for Europe by virtue of being League Cup runners up (assuming they finish mid-table and don't win the FA Cup)?

Even if they did qualify (don't think they do), then I'd be surprised if they would even be allowed to compete in Europe due to their finances being a load of bollocks.

Fucking shitstain club.

[The North Bank]

Dont think Poch is the answer, they need a true blue, bring lamps back.

[sheepfest]

Amen brother and preach.

[Avens]

Chilwell's a proper weirdo isn't he.

[thegoodfella]

Dont think Poch is the answer, they need a true blue, bring lamps back.

Terry and Lamps would be the dream team.

[wampa1]

Terry and Lamps would be the dream team.

In full kit.

[Wabaloolah]

Dont think Poch is the answer, they need a true blue, bring lamps back.

Poch is an absolute dreadful manager, built his reputation on being the nearly man at Spurs when getting beaten in a two horse race to a league title by mighty Leicester and fluked his way to a Champions League final.

I've never rated him, I don't get why people rave about him

[Lone Star Red]

No idea how or why we bid over £100 million for Caicedo but I am eternally grateful for Todd Boehly and his massive ego. Plays like a contest winner.

[Avens]

Really starting to feel like that's the answer to the first part of your post. A double bluff.

[Historical Fool]

Caicedo eh? Biggest bullet we have ever dodged. Hope he tries into the bank account tonight the little c*nt, all that money won't make him happy.

Whoever at our club valued him at £110m after one good season needs sacking.

It was a smokescreen to drive up his price. Our first choice was always Endo …

[4pool]

I hope Leeds knock them out of the FA Cup on Wednesday.

[Statto Red]

Chelsea's unwanted cup final record
Chelsea are the first side in English football history to lose six consecutive domestic cup finals:
2019 EFL Cup
2020 FA Cup
2021 FA Cup
2022 EFL Cup
2022 FA Cup
2024 EFL Cup

[Air Jota]

Tottenham mentality

[ScouserAtHeart]

They've lost 4 consecutive finals against us too now

[Persephone]

Tottenham mentality

Nah, Chelsea have just returned to their traditional place in football. Mid table bottlers with zero class.

[SamLad]

Was Sterling subbed in the end?   I can't remember him doing anything, even leaving the pitch.

subbed at 67 mins, and yeah as he went off I thought "christ, I forgot he was playing". 

[The G in Gerrard]

Horrible support - heard a few Chelsea supporters on radio recently complaining about Poch & how he "doesn't speak English". Disgusting.

[The North Bank]

89m Mudryk at the near post jumping with Van Dijk to head the winner in. He looked like a star as he rose high to get beat for the ball. Not just a star, a franchise player. Still cant believe they GAZUMPED us for him. Todd getting on his private jet armed with a WARCHEST got the deal done. Difference between good owners and winners.
Everyone always dismisses chelsea but they keep coming back, with Todd at the helm, if they can bring back lamps and add captain leader legend JT to the ranks, watch them go next season. They got fantastic young players, theyd have learnt a lot from the beating they got from Liverpools academy yesterday.

[BarryCrocker]

They are also the first team ever to lose six successive domestic major finals in English football history.

[Qston]

Connor Gallagher seems alright.

To be fair to the lad, he was their one of very few players for them that looked and played like he wanted to win. I would say Gusto and Colwill were the other two. As for the rest of them.......they did shite all

As a kid growing up, Arsenal were the only London Team who ever came to Anfield looking to win. I remember Alan Ball scoring at Anfield for you, always a tough game.
Chelsea and Spurs always looked like rabbits in headlamps for the most part. Southern softies as my mate used to call them. Cup teams.
I can never get my head round how they were lauded as great clubs.

I said yesterday when the Chelsea fans joined in with the “fuck the Tories” chant that it was quite likely some of them weren’t singing it for the same reasons everyone else was.  They were singing it because they think the Tories aren’t racist enough.

Yeah, I like them two. And Poch always seems alright too.

Spurs have a huge fan base and some tradition. Growing up Chelsea were pretty much were brentford are now, plus a nasty far right combat 18 element . A minor club that existed for a day shopper that wanted to watch some football near central london on a Saturday.
When they’re back to playing infront of 12000 people, might pop in there for the odd game, Rochdale at home, the natives are restless.

Love this from Will Ford (Chelsea fan). You can almost taste the salt of his tears while reading it.

Basically saying that it’s unfair to say Liverpool are underdogs because they’re 25 pts ahead of Chelsea while ignoring 6 of our top 10 goalscorers were absent (7 when grav was injured) and our 3 main assisters, our gk was out, and our bench was made up of kids.

What a brilliant example of how small-time Chelsea are.  I think he and quite possibly the Chelsea management and players thought they were underdogs yesterday.

We're only 11th and they're title contenders.  They beat us 4-1 last month.  Wah wahhh.

Of the front six that dismantled Chelsea last month, four were out injured yesterday.  Only Macca and Diaz remained and Macca didn't play any of the extra-time.  They brought on £150m+ of signings from the bench whilst we brought on kids and a left back that had played one minute of football since Christmas.

There was a bit of nervousness in our pre-match and half-time threads but far outweighed by the confidence of those that thought we'd win despite the circumstances.  Klopp has made us (mostly) into believers whilst Poch has made Chelsea into Spurs.

[elsewhere]

Connor Gallagher seems alright.

He is a bit like Jota without the technical ability, football IQ, heading, key passes, ling shots and finishing.

[oldman]

Unbelievable the amount of times he collapsed in a heap.

there was one point where he dived three times in 5 seconds to get a free kick

[MrGrumpy]

Connor Gallagher seems alright.

Hi did well at Crystal Place a few years ago and does not look as awful as the rest of this side. However, he seems like a mid table player to me.
