Ya they've also had a full week's worth of rest. Shall we forget their performance in the CL against Atletico?
Which was ruined by Adrian to be honest. They were 2-0 up and playing very well up to Adrian's feckup.

I know they've had more rest but their no denying that they are incredibly consistent.
Agreed, they also are injury proof with excellent conditioning. Klopp, whether we like it or not, is a truly remarkable manager and a class above Pep for me.

Frank made a choice with his selection v United. He more or less accepted the fact Wolves will have the legs on you this Sunday. Thats a huge gamble since Wolves are so good at strangling teams.
I just dont understand it. Winning the FA cup this season makes little difference anyway. The league was only brought back to sort relegation and CL sides.
Winning a competition > qualifying for a competition

Call me old-fashioned. I think it's mental to value a top four finish over winning the FA cup.

Good job Frank prefers anybody born in England over Pulisic. Might've actually been a contest tonight.

You know your defence has issues when Firmino scores

CL qualification is worth more to Chelsea Football Club than the FA Cup.

We can lose 11-0 to Wolves and we'll still qualify.

Also, what do you mean "the FA Cup this season makes little difference"? Why is this season any different in how the FA cup is viewed?
Its just in the way. An obligation. Its been so awkwardly placed in the schdule that it shows the league is the priority.
I feel the same way about the CL and EL. Theres an asterisk next to the winner thst I cant see where the enjoyment comes from.
If you lose v Wolves and win the FA cup then the view will be thst FA cup success cost you the main prize.

What do you mean, you've lost me on this? Agreed, no idea what people are smoking in regards to the FA Cup being meaningless. Don't get it.

He’s saying United will beat Leicester, so Chelsea will finish top four regardless of the result of their game against Wolves.

Unreal cross. TAA is the best fullback in the world right now by a mile.
