You could have used him on the pitch today rather than immediately loaning him back. Nobody else seems to be able to score.

True that, but it is what it is. We are just playing the oki-doke & then we will pick our moment to score - perhaps at Wembley vs spuds
btw any takers on a signature bet on who goes to the EFL Cup Final?

Thanks, but Liverpool is focused on the League.

The reason why L'pool is focused on the League & not the EFL Cup is because they couldn't stop the greatness of One Eden Hazard
Ugh. WHY did Poch bring Kane on?
I get he's hungry.
But we're already thrashing a vastly inferior side based on nothing more than the gulf in quality, not even playing well.
We started to many of the starting XI as it is. Don't sub on ****ing Harry Kane to rest Llorente!

We have too many matches right now that matter far more than the FA Cup. And a really shallow squad.
Play. The. Lads.
Play. The. Lads.
Some players need to run around a bit every game to keep their rhythm going. Guess Kane is like that. But, I agree, don’t risk injuring our only real striker!
If you're gonna play like a training session, do it in training.
Not when you have to worry about sh!te pitch or some National League hard lad making a reckless legbreaker tackle.

Maybe Poch is trying to get fired so he can move to Man U, haha.

To replace either Pedro or Willian. I hope RM will go after Neymar or Mbappe instead of The Mighty Eden, but don't worry your lot will see The Mighty Eden on Tuesday at Wembley
Looking forward to it!
Well, that went well!

Dude we gotcha where we want you at. You're coming to Stamford Bridge, the place where so many spud dreams have died over the years.
Starting 1-0 at Stamford Bridge? I like our chances.

Beating you?
What? No away goal tiebreaker and then extra time?
Apparently it's straight aggregate and a tie goes straight to PKs?
Bollocks.
While going to Stamford Bridge ahead is good, that's less good.

Yeah, I don’t like these rules at all.
Not sure if De Gea deserves MotM, or Mike Dean.
De Gea, incredible saves in both quantity and quality aside, should have been warned and then booked for time wasting.
Pogba should have been shown a straight red.
Countless fouls to Spurs not called, and plenty of free kicks awarded to ManUre for fair play.
And despite all that and Tripps having a poor first half, De Gea is still the only reason Spurs didn't win.

that aggregate lead seems a bit smaller now. I believe there will be some moist eyes on Jan 24th & they won't be mine
Serge Aurier arrested now too.
I fully expect that a freak earthquake will demolish the new grounds in the next 24-48 hours.
Worst.
Year.
Ever.

Now Demble is off to China. Isn't Sissoko out w/ an injury too? Man I wish the 24th would get here sooner, but Chelsea have to deal w/ the Woolwich Wanders this weekend. I love London Derbies!!!
Aurier released without charges. Who knows.
No need! We may be able to pull it out. Statistically other players score more goals without Kane. Time for the Dele show.

for a team that sux, The Mighty CFC has done pretty good these past 10 seasons unlike a couple of other sides I won't mention - btw Chelsea won 3 EPL Titles in this time span but the Cup w/ the Big Ears took that spot
It's real funny at all the Chelsea trophy memes all start in 2003....
Wonder why.
Could be that before Abramovich took over as Chelsea's sugar daddy in 2003 Chelsea won pretty much f*** all.
Hell you rule out the Abramovich money, and Everton and Aston Villa have more trophies. Even Newcastle. Even Sunderland. Hell a bunch of clubs currently in lower leagues.
Chelsea didn't earn it and the rest of us don't respect it. Mid table sh*** with money still acting like mid table sh***. Ain't got no history.
How many people, I wonder meet both conditions:
1. Supported Chelsea prior to 2003
2. Are not a National Front member or supporter (ie neo-Nazi). What with them actively recruiting out of Stamford Bridge for YEARS.

remember I am from The USA. I started to really pay attention when Ruud joined the club, so if you want you can say Glenn Hoddle started The Golden Age of Chelsea, but remember both Terry Venables & Jimmy Greaves were Chelsea Players before they went to spuds as well. If it makes you feel any better, you can marvel at this Classic Chelsea meme
so after Thursday I will LOL again as I watch spuds fail again. Again, I don't hate because I am a carefree fan of The Mighty CFC
Funny. The trophy memes. I would post one for Liverpool, but they don’t fit on a meme.
I'd post one for Spurs but I'd need a shovel. Lmao.
The important thing is, discounting all the silverware Chelski rang up on the charge card at Russian Oil Trophy Market, we've won more than them.
And by the same logic, City. We've all done better than City. That's an even grander case of plastic fantastic.

don't worry spuds, Higuain won't be able to play again your lot in this match but in the EPL match he will - not sure he won't be Falcao 2.0 though
F***ing stupid rule changes.
Away goal tie breakers are meant to reward success away from home. This straight to PKs bollocks is ridiculous.
Oh well. Either way, oil money is gonna buy more silverware.

I hate kicks from the mark to decide matches.
Yeah, and after barely beating our C team.
Given that standard rules for two leg matchups is away goals, they didn't beat us. It was handed to them. Just like everything else is handed to them.
As soon as it went to PKs I knew it was over. Had Dele, Son, and obviously Harry been playing, and Hugo been in goal it would have been another story.
I like Gazza. He's been good. But he wasn't ready and isn't experienced enough for the pressure of a PK shootout against a strong team.
