Chelsea are rattled! Maurinho is fast losing his "special one" tag. Two devastating losses on a trot at crunched time, I can see a thrid one coming up this Sunday. This is the best time to beat them. Losing Bridge and Robben have already affected the team and to push it in while they are having doubt among themselves will cap a perfect for the Reds.

While we are not exactly playing champagne football all season but I can see Rafa is building an effective team based on solid work ethics with a good dose of skills thrown in. Midweek's win against Laverkusen will surely give us a good boost going to Cardiff plus a pumped up Gerrard and Dudek wanting to prove the critics wrong...so c'mon you reds!!!

Anyone want to take a guess what Maurinho will moan about this Sunday after we carry the trophy back to Anfield?

C'mon MILAN!

I wouldn't say that Chelsea are in crisis

but the pressure is showing on Mourinho, no mistake. The whole Barcelona thing proves that he isn't the super cool iceman he claimed he was.

My own view is that I cannot see Chelsea losing 3 games in a row, I just cannot see it.

However, we have great hope. They will be tired and a bit rattled after the Barcelona game, and they have had a few injuries. In our favour we had a far more positive result and Morientes and Gerrard to come back. It's going to be a good game.

mourinho had never lost 2 games in a row as amanger before the barca game so anything can happen. im not saynig im optimistic but its been a while since we last lost a cup final. also, if SG was ever gonna be ready for a game, tis this one... so its gonna be a gudden i agree

So if he hadnt lost 2 in a row before, why not 3?

Its a cup final, anything can happen!

Chelsea has lost two in a row, but I suspect that this means nothing at all. They lost to Newcastle after resting some of their best players, and loosing 2-1 to Barcelona in Spain doesn`t sound like a bad result to me. Mourinho does seem a bit rattled, but after all he has been bitching and moaning ever since his arrival at the Bridge.

But, even if I think that they are as strong as they`ve been all season, I believe that we`ve got a fair chance of bringing the trophy to Anfield. Considering our performance on new-years day, they were, imo, extremely lucky to leave Anfield with three points. Mourinho would probably disagree, but I would say that it wouldn`t be a robbery if they left empty handed.

Oh no... Chelsea on the rocks... they lose 2 games, on where the ended up with 9 men and the other away against aguably the best team in Europe. Not exactly a crisis now is it.. and they got an away goal. It is interesting to see how they cope without Robben. That puts a lot more pressure in Duff to create cos they don't have many ho can play that Robben role

true... i agree.. even if we lose... i dun think it is a disgrace.. how many goals will there be?

They will be well on their way to a crisis when they are beaten on sunday.
