Pre-match thread Chelsea vs Tottenham FA Cup semi-final

>Cahill out, Vorm out
>Both teams should be full strength otherwise
>Spurs fans plan for applause at 44th min for Ugo Ehiogu
>Spurs haven't won a semi-final since 1991

Kick off in 2½ hours lads

I'm expecting a fucking shitshow with at least 5 yellows.

Predicted line-ups
>Chelsea: Courtois; Zouma, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Alonso; Kante, Matic; Hazard, Pedro, Moses; Costa

>Spurs: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Davies, Vertonghen; Dier; Dembele, Eriksen; Alli, Son-Heung, Kane

spurs to win 1-0

What is that predicted lineup cunt?

Conte CONFIRMED Ake to play

Also rumors of Costa being dropped, if he is I predict this

If Costa isn't dropped it'll be 3-4-3 with the same players as usual only replacing Cahill with Ake

hazard to be btfo by spurs defense

spurs will win, chelsea were exposed too hard last game

So happy Vorm's ded, every time he plays he looks shaky as fuck compared to based Hugo.

Who's your Spurs husbando, Sup Forums?

>mfw Michy starts up top instead

There is only one best boy

can the fa cup just fuck off?

does anyone care about it anymore?

the league cup can fuck off too. or leave them for the lower league teams only

I'd really like that 352.

FA cup can stay, wouldn't mind seeing the milk cup restricted to EFL though.

Imho the league cup should be only for teams that are not in europe, like it used to be. Give teams like Watford, Boro and Chelsea a chance at a trophy.

I care about the FA cup, unless the final is something like Arsenal against Hull or Man city against Wigan

A North London Derby FA Cup final is always going to be a big match for both clubs/fans, even if the trophy isn't as celebrated

me too
what about a 3-4-3 with no fabregas but willian instead

Costa and Hazard are getting rested

>but willian instead
Stopped reading there

I do not and I will never rate Willian, to me he's a useless player who doesn't even run a lot anymore.

>Costa
Maybe
>Hazard
lol

Fuck off Conte, Chelsea needs Hazshit

Both? I doubt that, but if true...what a shit team that is

Pedro-Batshuayi-Willian
Alonso-Matic-Kante-Moses
------Ake-Luiz-Azpilicueta
=======Courtois

Don't see it DESU

>that worthless attack

pedro can score maybe but otherwise it's shit

maybe Kante can be rested too and conte can play fabregas just to suicide

>tfw fabregas/matic was actually good once upon a time

am i forgetting something, what was so different? oscar's workrate or something? matic being good i suppose too

KANE?

Fuck off old man.

Objectively the best lineup Spurs can put out tonight
You don't get to bring friends

Weren't they good for like few months in Mou's second year and that's it?

Up until February of that season when the title was all but won in Feb yeah

That's a team that deserves an Eagle.

Lol I'm hearing rumours Azzar is out too.

...

Confirmed: Hazard, Costa, Walked are all being rested for the league.

Source?

his ass

It's a fact, not saying how I know.
You will see in 5 minutes when lineups are released

Conte out the fucking cunt >we're losing this 3-0

Aren't the fa cup semis supposed to be played in a neutral stadium?

Reading on Twitter that Costa and Hazard are being rested (rumour), but nothing on Walker or Kane

When will the official teams be out?

They are. It's at Wembley. Unless you're making some joke about Spurs at Wembley.

Batshuayi starting. Expecting lots of goals

#THFC: Lloris (C), Trippier, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Dembele, Son, Eriksen, Dele, Kane

Walker is out, I never mentioned Kane

Our starting team today is Courtois; Azpilicueta (c), David Luiz, Ake; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro.

CHANCU!

Damn. Chelsea really have a mediocre squad.

>Ake
>Batshit
>starting XI

is this real life?

>Costa and Hazard dropped

kek

4-3-3 with Alonso on the left wing?
Interesting.

My bad, I assumed was you

Spurs better thrash Chelsea here

RIP in peace

Ake is fine, but the lack of Hazard is a problem.

What? No
How on earth did you get that mate?

It's
-------------Courtois
-Azpilicueta-Luiz-Ake
Moses-Kante-Matic-Alonso
-Willian-Batshuayi-Pedro

nah mate

That was my joke yeah, they've used it as a home stadium in Europe

CONTE THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

courtois
moses-azpi-luiz-ake
kante-matic-alonso
willian-bats-pedro

I'm an idiot.
Having moses and alonso back as wing backs is good though we looked shit without them.. get the feeling batshuayi will play out of his skin (he fucking better).

I don't see Conte as the kind of coach who would concede a trophy.

He likely has faith in this squad against >"Lads...it's Tottenham"

Batshuayi has always been worse when he tried too hard.

>Hazard on the bench

I trust Conte but, what the hell.

Son LWB?

But he has seen firsthand how good Tottenham can be. He lost to them early in the season. Since morale is most likely low, you would think he would try to play his main starters

Stream link?

BBC one

vert LB

>spurs at wembley
wop

itv

The way I interpreted it was

------------Lloris
Trippier-Dier-Alderweireld-Vertonghen
-----------Wanyama-Dembele
------Eriksen-------Dele----------Son
------------------------Kane

----Pedro-------Batshuayi------Willian
Alonso----Matic-------Kante--------Moses
-------Ake-----------Luiz-------------Azpilicueta
------------------------Courtois

The gap between the PL and EFL is too big now. Having said that, I'd drop the EFL Cup and schedule the FA Cup on its own weekend.

Morale being low might be why he's shuffled the squad. Moses, Ake, and Bats might be what the team needs atm.

Your Spurs formation is most likely correct. That's the formation they've been playing in for the past 4ish games

Don't see why Spurs would go with a 4-2-3-1. Much harder to press Chelsea that way.

How did you know? Tell us your mysterious ways.

But the wingers can peg back the wing backs

I work at Chelsea FC. Don't even support them desu, some days I think about drugging their food before a match.

He guessed.
Guess wrong, everybody ignores it
Happen to guess right and people remember

I doubt Chelsea will win.

You carry the heavy weight of the goodness of man upon your shoulders.

I hope you crack and poison them all.

If Conte play Costa Chelshit deserve to lose to >sperms

I hope you get sacked faggot

Whoever wins this match will also win the league t b h?

Conte The Coward throwing another game.

This guy is going to get so wrecked next season competing on two fronts. That's if he stays.

No '?'

>chelsea resting key players
they've won

The wingbacks can do that too, only Spurs are better offensively because of the extra man in attack. They're also able put pressure on Chelsea's wingbacks better. Anyway, Eriksen isn't really a winger and wants to be in central areas.

Has Son played LWB before? He's a pretty versatile player, isn't he?

legit fucking rattled that hazard isn't playing what the fuck is this faggot shit. if >we dont win today i will have SERIOUS doubts about conte going forward

so neither of these teams want to actually win this game

how are you celebrating Earth Day Sup Forums?

Costa BTFO

Gonna be a laugh watching Spurs try to gegenpress Chelsea on this pitch

by not posting prepubescent boys on Sup Forums

yes

Can a girl workout to achieve a better ass?

>WITH BUDWEISER

What's the point of this game?

Conte SHOOK

>shoes without socks
why do millenials do this?

Her tit looks surprisingly big.

What's the point of your life?

>gegenpress
Huh?

so ass is genetic (fat distribution), but you can tone it as a muscle

squats wont make you go from a pancake to an apple

What's the point of that question?

What's the point of the universe?

Bruh...

...

Who cares, I'm just trying to get motivated to watch this game
