Still don't know the rules.

Away goals rule apply? No ET and straight to penalties if need be?

No away goals rule.
No extra time straight to penalties.

We can’t even name 5 fit players let alone 5 penalty takers

Pin it:

No Away Goals rule

No Extra Time

If the Aggregate score is tied at the final whistle, straight to pens.

- We're going to get thrashed
- We haven't got a strong enough squad
- We should have signed some players in the summer
- We should have signed some players in the January window
- Llorente isn't good enough
- N'Koudou isn't good enough
- Playing a youth team player up front will never work
- Pochettino doesn't take the cups seriously

I think that should cover the majority of posts in the first ten or so pages of this thread - have I missed anything?

Aurier has had his domestic issue, not sure what happened there, KWP I thought had made a breakthrough, obviously not, I think Tripper trains hard and his distribution can be good, but against Man U, not the case.
Poch believes in him.,

Expecting Dier and Winks in midfield, Sissoko to get a run out at the weekend.

Lucas, Lamela, Eriksen in the attack, and then 5 at the back. Play for a draw.

No need for your comment! :LOL: I was just giving @Yakflange an example of a "silly" question people would be asking during this thread.

Got a right shit feeling about this game. I can’t see Chelsea not scoring, which means we will need to score to stop it going penalties, and I just Can’t see where our goals are coming from. Only hope is we put in a master class of a defensive performance. Got a shit feeling these fuckers will turn up :(

Just need to lose by less than one goal. Somebody said this is called a draw but I only have a vague recollection of what they are.

We don't have to score people! We lead 1-0. Chelsea are toothless up front, if they don't play Giroud up top they won't have a target man to use. Higuan didn't sign in enough time either. Our injuries are at the top end of the pitch, our defence is fully fit and with Gazza in goal behind I'm even more confident.

Having said that, I will take a goalless bore draw as that will see us through.

While agree with you, but my worse nightmare would be a Trippierisque cock up or an Auriesique challenge that would result in them having scored an early goal to level the tie.
