Would you play Cech in the final?

Now I know 99% chance Cech does play, what what would you do?

I'd play Leno. Yeah it's a dick move, but a trophy is on the line. So is a CL place. And Leno is just better, simple as that. We don't owe Cech anything and the club comes first

Imagine the outrage and conspiracy theories if Cech made a howler leading to a late Chelsea winner. :lol:

Yes

Im not one to make emotional decisions but this is such a clear case of all the stars alighned clearly for Cech to play

He'll be super motivated for it so I'm sure the disparity of quality between him and Leno will be at least partly compensated for

Hes always been a strict professional, doesn't run his mouth off and is still good enough to deserve this.

Of course. Cech is partly why we're in the final. He is more ready and more committed than Leno would be if he was suddenly brought in for the final.

They should have a penalty shootout in training, same kickers against each keeper, whoever saves the most gets to play in the final.

Nope. Leno plays

With Cech on the field we struggle to control the game because he's more partial to holding the ball up the field to avoid having to pass out from the back.

Not fussed about any emotional reasons because Leno is the superior player and I couldn't give two fucks about Cech's professionalism when we have a trophy on the line and an obviously better candidate.

I don't care either way honestly

I'd be shocked if Cech doesn't start, though. Needs to do what Mertesacker did in the cup final.

It doesn't matter, Leno isn't that much better

I expect him to play. I would not play him. One last chance to get cl...you play your best team. The people picking petr I assume think he is better?

He’s doing so much talking and interviews about it, then either he’s been told he’s playing already, or he’s trying to pile the pressure onto emery to play him.

I would give him the gig. He’s done all the hard work getting us here, he deserves his swan song.
