MvG on game time at Chelsea

"That has been indicated to me. I will get minutes. From the conversations I have had, they are coming."

"In my position, in the middle, there are 4 or 5 candidates at Chelsea. There is great competition, but you expect that at a top club."

Good.

now that's how a player who is professional and aware of his age behaves in a situation like this.

I'm impressed by his maturity and patience.

If we rejected loans on him is because they have plans for him, as they should!

Marco scored the winner for his U-21 national team today. It was against Luxembourg and from a penalty but it was a winner. Hopefully it will help his confidence.

he needs to start vs basel. rammy is suspended and essien is not in the CL squad. has to play unless mourinho wants the infamous lampard mikel pivot which is absolute horse shit.

Ramires is not suspended. Super cup suspensions no longer carry over to other UEFA competitions.

He is suspended bruh

Please jose gotta play him against basel, he'll suit his style perfectly.

speeding up our transitions with his quick pass thinking is key. Our tempo increased against everton and MVG is that sort of player. I think he should play beside mikel.

But I know lampard will start against basel since he didn't against everton.

He is suspended. And picking up a red card in the Super Cup and resulting suspension DOES carry over to the club's next UEFA competition match.

Article 20

Yellow and red cards

20.01 As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. For serious offences, the punishment can be extended to all UEFA competition categories.

Am guessing that was Raphael Honigstein.

Will get a start tonight I feel. Looked superb in pre season

[bluesman2610 1,217]

Also hoping for start today for Marco.. I feel a good performance today could lead to more gametime in league

[ja1 1,166]

Not a good game from him. Too aggressive in the tackle, ball control not good enough which led to the aggressive tackles too.

[OneMoSalah 8,611]

Not great, at times Lampard exposed him and at times he let himself down with bad ball control and passes. Still its a learning curve for him.

[bluesman2610 1,217]

Haven't watched the game yet will do when i get home from work.. but that sounds like nerves for the 20 yr old.. but the way he was talked about in match thread sounds like he was woeful

[The_Flash 1,144]

He was terrible very poor and I think Kevin should have been on

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I know its just one game and this may be a bit knee-jerk reaction but i am starting to think that a loan would have been best for young Marco.

Agree not good enough tonight at all
