    Sky is reporting that Vertonghen will be captain, meaning Vorm starts in goal

    Vorm

    Walker - Dier - Vertonghen - Rose

    Bentaleb - Mason

    Lamela - Eriksen - Chadli

    Kane



    A lot of negativity/honesty/reality in the 'will we win it' thread. Though I don't agree. This is a cup final. Our youthful side could be nervy OR could be raring to go and hungry to win.

    Chelsea missing Matic is massive, Fabregas may have to sit in. He's not used to that role. Plus, we beat them 5-3.... they're beatable. COYS!!!

    Coys really looking forward to this !

    It's always nervous watching our back four and if anyone makes a horrific individual error I will call them out on that.

    Hopefully the ball spends more time in Chelsea half than ours..

    Bricking it lol

    If we don't play lloris then losing him is much bigger than Chelsea missing matic and if he is dropped then it's lunacy

    Maybe Poch just wants out field captain?

    gonna back Townsend to score first cos he is sure to take about ten shots in first half being at Wembley. I think he would also take the penalty if we got one?

    There's a reason why we complain about Townsend's shooting. They're normally closer to the corner flag than the bottom corner.

    The same team that beat chelsea in January except for Fazzio. Although Dembelle came on after 15 mins for Mason that day. A similar result today would be heaven.

    Great tackle by Dier.

    Why do Chelsea always seem to have the douchebag strikers?

    I can't understand why Rose is so reluctant to attack down the left. 9/10 possessions he turns back with the ball.

    Chadli better not appear for the second half. He is diabolical

    Big second half ahead.
    We love coming back from 1-0 down. We've done it to Chelsea in a league cup final.

    I think Eriksen needs more of an outlet around him, Zouma can be got at.

    When we break we look so slow and we never seem to get players in the box

    Awful match - we are appalling and could not score if we were there all day

    Dembele should have started , bad mistake

    We've had better chances than Chelsea (bar the goal and header straight after).

    Another half a chance and another goal

    In the space of a week , the season is over

    We will likely finish 7th

    Nothing coming down either wing, and the pitch is huge compared to WHL, too much reliance on Kane.

    The season would be over if we win or lose this anyway. Its just whether wegot silverware or not was the thing.

    I think if we can place 7th or higher its a season to build on for Poch.

    This and the europa league was our season and we balls both up...instead of playing each game on its merits we keep chopping and changing. Chelsea don't, top of league and 2-0 up here

    We looked like frighten rabbits out there
