Luis, Schurrle and Remy must play in my opinion. No Drogba as a starter please, as a sub I don't mind.

[DoubleO 192]

------------Remy--------------

--Hazard--Oscar--Schurrle--

-------Matic---Fabregas------

--Luis--Cahill--Terry--Iva----

----------Courtois-------------

win would be great, but draw wouldn't be a disaster

[Mechromancer 262]

Shirley on the bench, pls.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Diego Costa to start the next two games and then fake an injury at the end of the Arsenal game to keep him away from international duty.

Must win game and Jose knows this. I'm sure we will see a strong team out there.

Diego Costa

Eden Cesc Oscar

Matic Mikel

I would rest hazard, he is not involved as much as he was last season. a game on the bench will shake him a bit and he will be focus to rape arsenal Let start with Schurrle for this one.

i think hazard has been real good so far!!! not directly involved in goals and assists, but defensively he has been more responsible and has performed well specially when teams are doubling on him while leaving spaces for other players.

[zolayes 14,489]

I agree he improved he's defensive work but he is disappeared for long periods of the game today.

you ONLY need a few flashes from Hazard ,, its up to others to FINISH

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Don't get me wrong I admire Hazard he is probably our best player but, I think one game on the bench won't do any damage. Andre can do a job against sporing and Hazard will be fresh for the arsenal match.

He was substituted with 25 mins to go today, of course he will start against Sporting. And I thought he's been brilliant in all of the games so far, there's no need for a wake up call lol

+1 w/ your sentiments & no injuries as well. I will gladly take a bore 0-0 draw & happy as hell if we see Boring Boring Chelsea win 1-0.

Don't get me wrong I admire Hazard he is probably our best player but, I think one game on the bench won't do any damage. Andre can do a job against sporing and Hazard will be fresh for the arsenal match.

Actually I want both Schurrle & Hazard starting vs le arse. They did last season & we busted that ass up 6-0. I wouldn't be upset to see Salah gets some run. He would be perfect if Jose decides to use a Counter-attacking game plan.

it might be possible to criticise Eden for not trying to do enough BUT Andre is danger of trying to

do FAR too much on his own

My heart club... Please no more than 1-0

Are you a Sporting fan? If so, how does Sporting Fans view Jose? Is he the Anti-Christ to Sporting Fans?
