Today's game

Pep only played 1 of his usual back 4 and it showed.

Funny how whenever we beat City it's because City didn't play their strongest team, but no mention that Chelsea haven't either!

Which is fine, I’m not using it as an excuse but more to give context that the final is a completely different animal to today’s game or the FA Cup.

I think you’ll be an incredibly difficult opponent for us in the CL, but I do think people are drawing too much from the past two games

Grated - not a dig at City, merely that I don't think we always get the credit we deserve from the media.
Think it will be great game on the 29th....

Fair!

“ Think it will be great game on the 29th....”

And me too!

Chelsea are a top team and the final is anyone's.

I can't see Sterling, Mendy and Cancelo starting for us so should make a decent contest.

We played our strongest team against you at the Bridge earlier in the year.

And we had a less competent manager playing a 4-3-3 with the team in a spiral of negative form

We were 10th in the league, we were having the worst run of form since 2009.
