The FA Cup Final - Chelsea FC v Liverpool FC - 5th May 2012. 17.15.

I'd keep him (Aurelio) on the bench to be honest.

With us it's always likely we'll go beyond normal time. I'd rather have him to take on than have to take him off. He can barely do ninety minutes I'd wager never mind all the way to penalties.

Plus I don't think Carroll will start and if Aurelio is to play I'd want him on the same time as Andy, because he is one of the only players we have that can cross, and plus Aurelio will be a penalty taker I'd have faith in.

                                 Reina
          Johnson   Skrtel   Agger   Enrique
                           Henderson
              Bellamy     Gerrard      Maxi
                        Carroll    Suarez

Thats my team to win the FA cup, chelsea wont know whats hit them.

Cmon you reds.

I wonder will we play
Carra Skrtel Agger
Can see Carra starting given he was rested and has been doing interviews.

Downing has a twin?? Sure hope twinny can do more for us than Stewie has all season 

My mistake. Bellamy on the left! And yes, I imagine anyone could do better than 'Stewie' has!

I was going to say "Downing has enough trouble on one wing"
But that would be cruel.

we definitely need Dirk for this

Don't think 60 minutes of football all season warrants Aurelio a start ahead of Enrique. Looked leggy to me the other night and if theres a decent wind blowing around Wembley he will be back in the dressing room before half time with an ice pack on his thigh.

Pepe; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique; Bellamy, Spearing, Gerrard, Downing; Carroll, Suarez.

How much you can take from the Fulham game, I din't know. However, genuinely though Jonjo was pretty bad. Bit wasteful and not sure if you can afford to waste that much against good opposition.

Personally, I'd like to see us pack 5 in midfield, but play with goalscoring midfielders who can hit Chelsea on the counter.  That is how we have beaten them the last several times - with goals on the break.  I'd go for:

                 Pepe
Johno  Skrtel  Agger  Enrique
                Spearo
Maxi  Gerrard  Shelvey  Bellamy
                Suarez

Bench:  Doni, Kelly, Carra, Aurelio, Hendo, Downing, Kuyt

I'd look to bring Kuyt on late because if this game goes to extra time he will be a handful for tired defenders, and he will also be one of the people I'd want to take a penalty if it comes down to it.  Same goes for Aurelio as a penalty taker. 

The winner of the FA cup will win a massively huge, life changing £1.8m. Also known as 3 Hodgsons.

If you want to while away 5 minutes Bud Wise Er have done a 'match program' for the final, a couple of little facts that make you go mmm:

F**k off chelsea fc - Liverpool 2 - 0 Chelsea 1/02/09

Can't wait to win this then buy the commerative season DVD  "One Liverbird & Two Cups".

Would it be too much to ask for them to win as a Birthday present to me?

My team v Chelsea:

--------------------Reina---------------------

--Johnson----Skrtel-----Agger----Enrique--

--Downing----Gerrard---Hendo---Bellamy--

---------------Suarez----Carroll--------------

Subs; Doni, Carragher, Coates, Spearing, Shelvey, Maxi, Kuyt.

I think this side would work and can see us winning 2-1, but it will be a tough, tough game!

Let's give everything in our last 3 games and try to end the season on a high, then look forward to a successful 2012-13 season!

Would it be too much to ask for them to win as a Birthday present to me?

Might be classed as a bit selfish but on this occasion no I don't think it's too much to ask.

As has been mentioned before, I think we need 5 in midfield for this game.

i reckon thats a cracking team and is more than  good enough to  win us the cup.

I wonder will we play
Carra Skrtel Agger
Can see Carra starting given he was rested and has been doing interviews.

I can easily see us going for:

Reina; Carra, Skrtel, Agger; Johnson, Shelvey, Spearing, Enrique; Gerrard; Suarez, Carroll/Bellamy.

I wouldn't have thought we'd go three at the back about a week ago but like you said that rest last night suggests he could well play a major part on Saturday.

Chelsea forum:

Liverpool are woeful. But they bum the cup competitions so it will end up a tough game. I hate everything about them, how they massively proritise cups over the league and think they're amazing after winning the Mickey Mouse cup. Hope we smash them, and hope the most that Torres scores. 3-1 for me.

Chavs F***ing nil Newcastle TWO hahahahahahahahahahaha.

I've got to admit that the thought of Torres scoring a winner against us loosens me bowels.

It's got to be us though and I've got a massive 'Stevie G' feeling about Saturday.

There's one due.

I'd be surprised having started the last two games if Torres is in the starting 11 Saturday.

Drogba nice and rested now.

The famous 4-7-4 with 2 in goal

I'd be surprised having started the last two games if Torres is in the starting 11 Saturday.

Drogba nice and rested now.

He usually comes on during the games though. I agree Torres scoring against us in the cup final is a scary thought. I have more of a 'Suarez feeling' about this match though.
