Was there a minutes silece that day. That match was after the Independent Panel produced the Hillsborough report?
Didn't realise the CL second legs were next week, genuinely thought they were the following week. Tomorrow could be a big day in the title race.
Buzzing for this. Hopefully another big result from this incredible team. Chelsea are hitting a little bit of form but we are bettet all over and have a lot more to play for. They aren't a proper team and i think our will to win combined with our better ability means we win this and keep going!!
If we play well, we will definitely win comfortably. If we don't we will need an individual to stand up and pull the rest of the team over the line. Either way, 3 points is all we want.
So so nervous of this game, with months i felt our season could hinge on this game and here it is. I can see city giving palace a spanking before us so pressure will be on. Once we keep twinkle toes hazard quiet whose decided he wants to play footy again ahead of the summer transfer window, we should be ok. Id start Kieta , hendo and fab in mf as i feel they will lock down our front 3 so we'll need creativity so play hendo in this new more attacking role he's found of late. A nervy 2-1 to us.
Matip has been great recently . I hope he plays. Fabinho and Henderson have to start. After that it's one from Gini, Milner or Keita. Could be any of them. Great to have options in midfield and it's good Keita is coming into form. Stop Hazard and we win.
Keep our nerve and I think we can win this. We couldn’t be in much better shape injury wise given the time of the season so we can have no excuses on that front. Think we might have to be patient again today as Chelsea will come thinking a point is a good result.
All our games have been massive this year as the title race has been talked about since November, refused to get carried away but today has a real feeling of win today and we can really really do this, wasnt even this nervous for kiev last year. Up the fucking Reds!!

3 games in a row now for Keita, glad to see him get a good run although i thought Gini would come back in for him today
Chelsea playing without a recognized striker, I think we know what their game plan will be. Sit back defend, invite us onto them and hope that their pace on the break will cause us trouble. The opening goal will be everything in this match to take them out of their defensive shell.
