Whoever follows Klopp has huge boots to fill and is in an almost impossible position given the success rhe club now demands.

Klopp is almost universally liked as a manager as well as he seems like a lovely bloke.

Do they have a rivalry? I can't see them having met more than twice before.

Oh, Coventry. You daft bastards. One up until 83min, then let two in within five minutes.
EDIT: 97min equaliser. Oof!
EDIT2: Fuuuucking hell! 99min goal to go to Wembley!

I don't think I've seen a game broadcast from the Etihad stadium in quite a while.

Really don't like the double-height advertising boards all around the pitch; far too intrusive imho.

Confidence levels at 24% for this afternoon's game :dread:

If it's another pasting then ETH should be expecting his P45.

What score do you think should trigger a sacking? Liverpool are expected to win this, Liverpool should be capable of scoring 3 or 4 goals with Salah and Darwin on the pitch. Its not as though its a loss to say Fulham or someone.

Urgh, Jonathan Pearce is surely up there as one of the worst commentators, probably along with Vicki Sparks. Both unbearable to listen to.

Something really unlikeable about Chelsea - shame they look like winning this one now.

Cole Palmer aside, this Chelsea side are strawberry floating rubbish. I hope they kept the receipt for Jackson because calling him a striker should be against the trades description act.

Cole Palmer does indeed look class despite the players around him. You have to wonder if City made a mistake there.

4-0 would be a trigger for me, but even a 3-0 is stackable if United don't offer any threat, so it depends if they come out swinging.

All these different start times, grrrrr.
