Da er det bare å gjøre seg klar til vår første semifinale i FA-cupen siden 80-tallet. Å møte Chelsea i denne perioden er ikke det samme som det normalt er, de er totalt ute av form. Så får en se om ny sjef, McFarlane, lykkes med sine grep. Han fikk to kamper in charge før Rosenior kom inn også. Da ble det tap mot City og uavgjort mot Fuham, så en kan jo sjekke hvilke grep han tydde til da.

For oss handler det vel om Perri skal få være cup-keeper denne gang også, om en skal satse på Rodon fra start, og om Bogle blir klar igjen. Stach kan nå benken men starter nok ikke. Gnonto hadde fint innhopp men tviler på at han får starte...

Uansett, dette er bonus. Og det hadde jo vært gøy med en finale mot Manchester City på selveste 16.mai. :)

En klubb som stort sett har spilt utslagsrunder under slike rammer i flere tiår.
De er jo spekket av talent og potensiale. De bør jo slå Leeds 8 av 10 ganger.

De de har mye av har vi stort sett ingenting av.
Store egoer, mye støy, mye utskiftninger og en mildt sagt tvilsom prestasjonskultur.
Stort sett spillere som ønsker ball og diktere spillet. Få spillere som strekker og flytter på motspillere.
Sårbare og i en frytelig form - synes også den kjernen dems ser tvilsom ut - Fofana, Caceido, Fernandes, Delap forrige kamp.
Sjansen for en finale blir jo ikke større enn dette.

Tror egentlig det handler om og være tålmodige her, samtidig som og bruke det momentumet vi har riktig.

Så er det jo også sterk historie linket opp til dette. Vil tro det går til fordel Leeds.

Et Leeds i finalen hadde ikke overrasket meg.

Vil Perri stå i mål? Han var jo strålende mot West Ham, men usikker. Så jo Arsenal gikk på en smell i ligacupfinalen når de benyttet reservekeeperen som hadde stått alle kampene.

Beren Cross sammenligner inngangen Chelsea og Leeds har til søndagens kamp:

On the night their cup opponent sacked their second head coach in four months, four days before kick-off, with their campaign in tatters, United's 20-man squad smashed through another brick wall. A win would have been better, but after the game, Farke claimed there were few better ways Leeds could have prepared for Wembley.

"Perhaps a win, but it feels today like a win," he said. "This type of winning points is sometimes more important than the easy cruise to 3-0 or 4-0.

Daniel Farke will be speaking this afternoon ahead of the FA Cup SF tie with Chelsea. The Leeds boss is expected to provide an update on Jayden Bogle, who was forced off at half-time last night...

'Jayden had a hit on his foot, and we decided to change our base formation [to] a back four. Same ideas, but with a bit more risk.'

Presseren - som ventet på skadefronten:
Farke here on team news
Bad news with Ilia. Meniscus injury will keep him out for the whole season. Expect him back for pre-season. Bogle hit against the foot. Not too bad, see how quick he can recover.Bornauw - he rolled his ankle. Not ideal. Was pretty sore. Was not able to join us in team training. No ligament injury.

Stach?

Synd med Gruev, men spennende rundt Stach.  Tipper han er på benk! ;)

For mange, inkludert meg selv, er dette første gang man ser en FA Cup semifinale med Leeds overhode. Selv så jeg ikke semifinalen i 1977 eller 1987.  I 1977 ble kampen mot ManU overført på NRK radio med Bjørge Lillelien bak mikrofonen. Det var tradisjon på den tiden.

Noen på forumet som har sett Leeds spille en semifinale?

Når det gjelder selve kampen så er nok det viktigste å ikke bli grepet av stundens alvor og hypen som følger med. Jeg mener vi har spillere som kan klare dette rent fotballmessig med riktig taktikk. I play off finalen i 2024 underpresterte Leeds på Wembley. Kampen ble for stor for noen spillere og det ble veldig oppjaget. Denne gang har vi alt å vinne siden vi møter en favoritt (selv om Chelseas form er elendig) og det ikke står om PL-opprykk. Cupen er en bonus. Teoretisk kan vi faktisk møte Southampton i en ny Wembley-finale.

Joe Donnohue husker sikkert en del - han skriver nå for FourFourTwo men har fortsatt Leeds i hodet.

Leeds United want it more than Chelsea this weekend and that alone makes them FA Cup favourites
When Chelsea and Leeds United walk out under the Wembley arch in the FA Cup semi-final this Sunday, pundits will quite rightly point to the disparity in the two sides' respective trophy cabinets.

On paper, it's a mismatch. The past two decades have been kind to the Blues from a silverware perspective, whilst for Leeds, it's been a long road back and a pair of second tier titles to parade through the city.

For the Whites, though, the squad's collective lack of major honours could prove to be their most dangerous weapon.

Chelsea have hit the managerial reset button once again. The underlying narrative is one of a squad that is 'on the beach', to use Premier League parlance synonymous with the Barclays era, which is bizarre given how much is still at stake.

FourFourTwo understands the Chelsea dressing room is one that had been suffering from tactical fatigue. Liam Rosenior had reportedly overwhelmed the squad with a volume of meetings that would make a corporate auditor blush *chortles in posh*.

Contrast this with the atmosphere at Elland Road where Daniel Farke has guided Leeds to their first major domestic semi-final since 1987. Meanwhile, the team are so very nearly homeward bound in their fight against relegation.

We'll call it the 'want-it-more factor'. That was especially evident in the recent 2-1 league win over arch-rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford and threatens to take an apathetic Chelsea side to task on Sunday.

When you look at the respective starting line-ups, there's a stark experience gap that perversely favours the bookmakers' underdog.

In the probable Chelsea XI, 10 of eleven starters are already seasoned semi-finalists. Having, erm, 'conquered the world' at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the likes of Enzo Fernandez and Wesley Fofana have already stood on the loftiest podiums (Enzo actually has, as a World Cup winner).

To them, an FA Cup semi-final could start to feel like another day at the office, particularly if you haven't really been feeling your new, less-than-experienced manager or the caretaker who's replaced him. There's a school of thought which suggests Chelsea might view Sunday's semi as a secondary chore in a season where the primary goal is qualifying for the Champions League.

Leeds, meanwhile, are a squad largely made up of cup novices.

Of their expected starting XI, only four - Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Justin, Jayden Bogle and Noah Okafor - have ever breathed the rarified air of a major domestic final four. For the other seven, including defensive stalwarts like Pascal Struijk and Jaka Bijol, this is among the biggest matches of their professional careers.

Yes, there are some who've played in an Austrian Cup semi, the Championship play-offs or the Nations League final four, but we're talking exclusively about competitions that have been around for yonks - and are universally respected, like the FA Cup.

Leeds' players are fighting for a legacy, for a club that has waited 39 years for this moment. It's a jaded, possibly complacent, elite taking on the plucky, hungry outsider. Who's your money on?

Grunnen til blå sokker er vel at det må/skal/bør være kontrast til motstanderens sokker. Og Chelsea spiller med hvite sokker på sin hjemmedrakt.

Synd for det ser helt jævlig ut m blå strømper og hvit drakt. Blir liksom noe helt, helt feil

Blir spennende og se hvordan den spillergruppen dems reagerer på sparkingen. Om det blir noe frigjøring av energi.
De har jo hatt kamper der de har smadret motstand denne sesongen.
Barcelona, Ajax,Villa, Port Vale bla

Blir morro med semifinale. Har litt angst for at det skal komme flere skader på nøkkelspillere og at det vil påvirke innspurten i ligaen.
