Let's not keep tippy-tappying it in our own half and giving it away. That's cost us far too much recently.

We may as well just hoof it because whenever we try to retain possession we either do nothing with it or give it away carelessly.

Popey!

Perfect game for Maddison to get back into form...

They still might and, the way it's going, probably still will get something out of it but, thank god we're playing Norwich today.

It's gonna be one of those nights.

NBC in the States, I assumed they were using the Sky commentary feed. Good for you!

I fuchin hate Martin Tyler.

Do these amateurs really believe suggesting something as stupid as this is worth the attention and loss of credibility in the long run? Or do they expect people to actually forget they say this garbage?

I think we will finish in 5th again and...win the League Cup. It's been a while since we did it.

I know he's been mentioned before but, assuming Maddison goes (big assumption), I wouldn't be too unhappy if we made a sneaky bid of 30m for James Ward-Prowse.

Hopefully Iborra gets a nice welcome.

Hoping for the best for Appleton and that he gets Lincoln promoted. He did a decent job for us when he was here. Incredible they could go from the 5th to the 2nd tier in five years.

Today is the day...

where's the statue?

let's go rain kings...

I'm sure Tuchel knows what he's doing but I would be pretty nervous if I was a Chelsea fan. So many changes, maybe warranted, but surely that messes with team chemistry and cohesion. They might be good but they can hardly be settled. This makes me feel more confident, our team knows exactly who they are. A fast start could be key while they settle in.

They are utterly clueless. Criminal this game doesn't even get to be shown on cable or network TV. Nope, ESPN would rather show college softball and the AKC Agility Championships than the FA Cup Final.

It's alright, I think we're just being patient knowing it will come more to us in the 2nd half and at least trying to make sure we don't get sucker-punched in the meantime. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Nachoman who comes off. Could be any one of the front three, honestly.

Kinda wish we'd have taken out Thomas and put Castagne over there with Albrighton coming in, like we did on Monday to such great effect.

I like these subs and I think we're gonna win.

It's nice to have Evans, Fofana and Soyunca together at the back for the second game in a row. Such a massive difference even though we've done well, by and large, without one or more of them.

We won the league. So even if we win this it could never be our greatest moment ever (which an FA Cup win probably would be had we not won the league). So it's just exciting. Can we take this chance? I hope we do it for the Boss.

well this would be a nice Brucey bonus.

If I was Rodgers I would be using this as a rocket up the arse to all three (five) along the lines of "you've served your punishment, you're partly responsible for yesterdays loss, now make it up to everyone in these last seven games". A top 4 spot is still in our hands if we take the chance so let's use it in the final push. They're not the first nor will be the last to fall afoul of this. It's unfortunate but I think they've paid for it by missing such a crucial game, seen the consequences and that will be on their minds til seasons end. I think we'll be seeing the best of Maddison in these last seven games.
