⚽ [POLL] Liverpool vs Chelsea == the English FA Cup Final today 14th May 2022

[Rruchi man]

   
Southampton 3-1 West Ham United         

This is most unexpected results of today's fixtures, i never could have imagined Southampton winning Westham and by such a margin, three goals to one. Broja's goal for Southampton was world class, bigger teams may be putting in an offer for him soon if he can keep up performance, his goal sealed the win for Southampton today.

Minamino for Liverpool did well today as well, a brace to his name.

I made the same comment in a similar thread. West Ham had been very strong in this tournament.
The thing is that Southampton is always a team that can do things you don't expect, for example when they put the big six teams in trouble, and also when after beating the big six they lose against a smaller team.

RESULTS:

Luton Town 2-3 Chelsea         

Southampton 3-1 West Ham United         

Liverpool 2-1 Norwich City


Chelsea had to win after coming back from a goal down twice. Southampton scored two late goals to beat West Ham. Liverpool beat a determined Norwich. The winners have moved on to the quarter-finals stage.

@JollyGood Chelsea are battling a nightmare situation off the pitch and the start they got on the pitch wasn’t any different, but thanks to Lukaku they managed to win the fixture. Also I believe they badly needed this victory as the off pitch issues were clearly bothering them, and now it’ll be interesting to see if they can continue to remain focus in their upcoming fixtures.

Luton Town put up a show at home for Chelsea and welcome the blues with a stunning performance, they played well and deserved the two goals scored. It wasn't an easy win for Chelsea but i think it will disappointing for Chelsea to loose at this stage to a lower division team. Norwich also gave Liverpool a though game but Liverpool had to progress to the next quarter finals no matter what.
It was a disappointing night for the Hammers and a disappointing result as well after being eliminated by Southampton with 2 late goals.

FA CUP
Semi-Finals

Saturday 16th April
Manchester City vs Liverpool

Sunday 17th April
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace

Manchester City vs Liverpool takes place in the Premier League today but the two teams battle it out again in the semi-final of the FA Cup on Saturday. Both teams have to play a Champions League game midweek therefore this is a crucial time for them.

In the other semi-final I have a feeling Crystal Palace will beat Chelsea and make it to another FA Cup final but it will be the first time for their new manager Vieira.

In the other semi-final I have a feeling Crystal Palace will beat Chelsea and make it to another FA Cup final but it will be the first time for their new manager Vieira.

The Manchester City vs Liverpool tie will appear like “hell in a match” or “first blood tie” because both teams play today, a draw means a calm fa cup tie, a defeat means. It will be a heated FA Cup tie at the Wembley stadium. For some reasons, I feel like Liverpool will edge the FA Cup tie, a slim victory 2-1

Crystal Palace sadly won’t be without talisman midfield player Gallagher on this tie at Wembley, still I am quite sure that Palace has enough quality to upset Chelsea and play the FA Cup final. A 2 goal victory for Palace

[JollyGood]

Crystal Palace have nothing else to play for this season therefore will give 100% in trying to win this match but Chelsea will keep one eye on the Champions League match against Real Madrid and the other on Tottenham trying to catch them in 3rd place. I think Palace will win this 

It will be physically draining on both teams having to play in the Premier League today, then Manchester City play Atletico while Liverpool play Benfica in midweek with the winners going through to the Champions League semi-final and then having to meet each other again on Saturday for this FA Cup semi-final.

Both teams have the squad depth to take on the challenge but it will not be easy.

The result was fair enough, they were just as strong but Liverpool were able to take advantage of Man City's lack of let-up.  I think Man City should immediately focus on the EPL and UCL titles. Actually I saw Pep deliberately change his line-up. They feature a player who is not used to being a stater. The decision became a failed strategy, even Zack Steffen made a blunder so that Mane was able to make a goal easily. I think Liverpool will play Chelsea in the final.

Here is the result of the second semi-final:

Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace

You are right. The final of the FA Cup will take place between Chelsea and Liverpool 

I think Liverpool will play Chelsea in the final.

@JollyGood if Arsenal can beat Chelsea then I’m sure that Liverpool will easily beat them in the finals, and just when it felt that Chelsea was stabilising itself it’s clear that they’re mentally not ready. Furthermore mark my words Liverpool will easily score minimum 3 goals against them, and if Chelsea’s defence fails badly then I expect Liverpool to score up to 6 goals.

[JollyGood]

You are right, I know the odds are stacked in favour of Liverpool to win the FA cup but in a final anything can happen. Just because Chelsea lost against Arsenal at home does not mean they will give Liverpool a free pass to demolish them at Wembley.

people still judge football results based on their previous performance. Lol.  Chelsea were the better team in the Carabao Cup final before VAR ruined the game; we all know that the Lukaku winning goal was onside, but Liverpool always find a way to manipulate results in their favor. We're not going to lose to them in the final for the second time this season, so bookmark this. We've lost four FA Cup finals in the last five years, and we've been plagued by the Wembley curse.

It's most certainly not Liverpool manipulating the results in their favour, but rather that the current VAR system is terribly implemented, and the referees aren't consistent at all. The annoying part is that a VAR type system called TMO in rugby has been in effect for years, and generally is pretty damn good. So, we know we can make it work, but the way it's implemented needs to change.

However, having said that I do agree with you Chelsea seem to have our number this season. You could argue the game in the Premier League where there was a red card for one of the Chelsea defenders, they also had our number there too.

Liverpool just seem to not perform well against Chelsea this season. I do believe though we've got a lot better since the last time we've met, and Chelsea are arguably in one of their poorer runs of form recently. So, I'm still going in confident with a Liverpool win.

I did not realise Chelsea had been in so many finals and lost so many of them. Since you are sure Chelsea will beat Liverpool in the final, what do you think the score will be?

Right now Liverpool are in a position to win 4 major trophies but this is the only opportunity remaining for Chelsea therefore I think Chelsea will not allow Liverpool to dominate the game. Tuchel will go for an all-out attacking team because the pressure will be on Liverpool to try to make history with an unprecedented quadruple. I think Chelsea will give Liverpool big problems even though Liverpool are favourites to win.

Except for the English Premier League, where it appears that VAR was implemented to favor certain clubs,we do not receive many negative reports from the Champions League, Italian, and Spanish leagues VAR. I  haven't checked the officiating crew yet, but I'm confident Anthony Taylor will get his way and I don't know  why Anthony Taylor continues to officiate Chelsea bigger games despite a series of protests and petitions against him. Dude hate Chelsea.


 Having said that, I believe the VAR system has done more harm than good in the long run. since it was put in place

We were in a worse state than we are now when we played out a draw in the league cup; the only issue going into the FA cup game now is Kante; he's been having a difficult game time due to Ramadan fasting, and he hasn't been himself; we've had some midfield challenges recently; however, I believe we will give it our all this time because this is our only chance of winning a trophy this season. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm not so sure it does favour certain teams. I just think its poor all around. Liverpool have been on the receiving side of VAR a few times this season, and some of them were blatantly onside. I do believe the decision on Firminho last season, resulted in them changing the lines, because it was so obvious that where they drew the lines, and the thinness of them, basically ruled a goal offside when it was definitely onside.

I do agree though, VAR has been awful ever since it has been implemented, and to be honest I haven't seen any improvement at all. I just wish it was never a thing or was implemented similarly to how rugby has implemented it.

Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool

Chelsea 1 - 2 Liverpool

[JollyGood]

Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool

Chelsea 1 - 2 Liverpool

Well both of you agree it is looking likely to be 3 goals in the game 

I think it will be a tense match, neither team wanting to make errors and concede but I will go for Chelsea to win 1-0

We can both agree that during the 2018/2019 season, when Liverpool won their first EPL title, they were dubbed LiVARpool because of several instances in which VAR played a crucial role in their matches. In the Champions League, the same could be said about Real Madrid.

Red card? YES!!!; a good option I'm looking forward to, last time Keita escaped!!
