Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Chelsea have 4 home draws in the cup this year and 4 home draws in the Carabao, so no away draws at all. Don't think I'm suggesting anything here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) 2 hours ago, Pancrate1892 said: I was thinking why they decided to do the draw when half the teams hadn't played, is it not meant to be after Absolutely ridiculous they did that. Southampton had literally zero incentive to beat Liverpool knowing probably a trip to Man U was their reward. Edited February 28 by Beth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at stats for their home games this season and no-one has managed more than 9 shots against them. That was Chelsea who conceded 31. Average is 5.

80 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Playing along with the idea... If we won in the final against Liverpool, we NEED a massive pitch invasion after the final whistle. It's the only thing that would prevent Klopp turning it into a goodbye fistpump-athon to drag all attention onto himself. Would like his farewell to be him scurrying down the tunnel.

Zero Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 It’s probably a chance for Howe though. If he managed to win this game, he would have a great chance to win the cup and got the boards backing for the summer / next season just treat it as the Final and fuck the citeh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, we had a really hard fought win against a former two time European Champion last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one you'd call "tough" from theirs would be Bayern, and now Liverpool. Oh and us of course as we knocked them out. We've had City twice, them lot, our rivals away, AC Milan, Dortmund, fucking PSG. Give my right arm for a Galatasaray, a Copenhagen, a fucking Newport County.

Paully Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 So I assume this will be either Friday night, 12.30 Sat or Sat night? Liverpool play on Thursday in Europe (City play midweek before) so Man Utd vs them will be the Sunday and there is already a PL match televised for the 5.30pm slot on the Saturday!

Milan and Dortmund are shadows of the teams they were, and to use the fact they've won European Cups in the past as a metric of how difficult the draws are now is silly. They're still obviously good sides and you'd much rather draw teams like Copenhagen. Your cup draws this season have been very unforgiving and I don't think anyone would suggest otherwise.

Last train out of Manchester is at 21:45 on the Saturday so I’m going for an 8pm kick off. Got to look to fuck us over in every way possible.

Someone made a point last season of how Chelsea always get easy draws and Newcastle get shafted and I made a post showing all the draws in both cups for the last 10-15 years which showed it just isn't true and the two records were fairly similar. I think this season for you is as hard as it gets mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 This draw is remarkably similar to my 'likely draw' post in a different thread. Almost entirely predictable.
