Calum McFarlane drops FA Cup final team news hint, praises “exceptional” Chelsea star

It was no surprise that Chelsea looked more assured at the back, and the Blues also looked a lot better in their build-up play.

Speaking after the game McFarlane praised Colwill’s performance, and said he’s in contention to start at Wembley.

“I thought he was exceptional today,” he told his post match press conference.

“I thought there was a lot of good performances. I’m really pleased for Levi. He’s been injured for a long time. The first 90 minutes, Anfield away, when the team aren’t particularly in their best form, to go and put that level of performance in, it doesn’t only show his level of talent and quality, it shows his mentality.

“So, I’m really pleased for Levi, as I am for the whole group and the team. I thought it was a really good performance.

When asked if he has a chance of starting at Wembley he said: “Definitely, yeah.”
