Milk Cup Final - Chelsea vs Liverpool - 27/02 - 16:30

[The39thStep]

Mendy's quite good himself. He'd also spent 120 minutes denying all those Liverpool players so had the wood on them. Crazy decision.

I'll pass your considered opinion on to Tuchel.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Kell you legend.

One down, three to go!

Come on you Reds!

 

[The39thStep]

just got an email from sports Direct asking if I want to buy a Liverpool shirt

 

[Puddy_Tat]

are we waiting for VAR reviews for offside on any of the penalties?

 

[twistedAM]

Why the fuck would you change your keeper for the shootout? Ludicrous. Mendy's been brilliant, he's warmed up, its nuts.

It worked for Leicester City in a playoff.
Also, remember Chelsea tried to replace Kepa with Willy Caballero against City a few years ago and Kepa refused to be substituted? Caballero was an excellent penalty so that's two finals Keep has probably screwed up on penalties!

 

[Petcha]

Is Kepa not the most expensive goalkeeper in history? And isn't even first choice... penalty shootout specialist by the looks..

Still he's probably pulling in 150k a week or something for doing sweet fuck all except for losing the occasional match so fair play.

He's improved of late under Tuchel. Hes still young ish too so plenty to look forward to.

 

[Voley]

I have no nerves left to be shredded.

 

[Riklet]

fuckin getttttt in!

If you're buying the most expensive goalkeeper in history you'd hope he might be a bit closer to the finished product and not need much improvement. He was given a good run in the first team but it was decided he wasn't actually that good so presumably the scouts got that a little wrong.

He saved a penalty in the SuperCup that we won when he came on as sub .

That’s fine we have two good keepers , one expensive , the other an absolute bargain ( who can’t stop picking up awards ) and they have loads of medals .

 

[Sunray]

Subbing Mendi possibly cost Chelsea the cup. As a a die hard red I have Mendi slightly above Alison as a keeper and Chelsea subbed him? Wtf.
There were some low hanging fruit pens that a better keeper could have saved.

Our finishing and offside cost us the cup

I'm constantly astounded that even the best attackers seem to forget about offside. You'd think that it would be drummed into them in training that you keep onside keep onside keep onside until the ball's kicked.

Filippo Inzaghi (Born, Offside, 9 August 1973) is an Italian footballer widely believed to play the position of a striker.

His life is a tale of triumph over adversity. Filippo Inzaghi is the story of a man who played sport at the highest level, with distinction and success, despite being unaware of every rule that constituted the game he played. He was often seen with a look that managed to be both bemused unawareness and sulkiness. Some have said that he was trained simply to smash leather towards netting inside a white box, much like beagles were trained simply to smell and then ravage foxes. Many have compared Inzaghi outside the box to a beagle in a trawler. Pointless.

At an early age, Pippo was prohibited from playing football with his friends due to continuous accusations of 'goal hanging'. In his unofficial biography of Inzaghi, 'Pippo: A Man Offside', Tony Davis wrote, 'At around the age of 8, a game of youth football ended 14-0, despite none of the players or parents watching realising any goals had been scored. The referee that day had noticed one player score 14 goals, a young Mr Inzaghi, despite doing absolutely nothing else of any value to his team. It was the first reported case of an opposition being 'Inzaghied'.' Despite the claims of Emmanuel Adebayor, nobody who plays football is less aware of the offside rule than Filippo Inzaghi. It is widely believed that his inability to understand the concept of offside dates back to his conception, where his mother and father, who was a nifty no-nonsense midfielder, consumated their marriage during an Italian kickabout. Unfortunately for Pippo, modern offside laws would have meant they weren't interfering with play. Matters were made far worse due to the fact that Filippo was also born offside. Introduction of video replays has enabled viewers to see that every goal that Inzaghi has ever scored has infact been, offside. When questioned about his new Serie A hat-trick record (10) all of which were offside, Filippo said hungrily 'Offside? Fuck Off. Your telling me I scored 30 goals and they were all offside? Rubbish. I was onside. Too onside if anything.'

That’s hilarious Inzaghe was a brilliant player though. An inspiration growing up
