Closed Chelsea v Southampton

[Sovieticus 743]

If we manage to scrape a 1-0, that will be great.

[Special Juan 27,100]

It would be nice to see us totally dominate someone for the fat of the game and come away saying "Wow, we played fucking awesome there"

Need a real reaction. The squad and Jose owe it to the supporters.

dont want another debacle where cesc gets overrun. oscar was good in the 45 minutes that he played. deserves a start. remy has been very good every chance he has got and he deserves a start. costa has been that poor.

The bad thing is that after the poor game last night, this match becomes massive for our season.We need 3 points. I belive the lads can overcome the disappointment and deal with Southampton the Chelsea way! And please guys be more positive, our team needs our support. We must win the bpl and we will!

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I'll just throw it here.. winning the PL was always a 'must', early CL exit didn't change it.

I wanted to win the Premier League more than anything at the start of the season,

It's just the way we went out and the manner of it that will leave a salty taste in my mouth for a few weeks.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Time to 'rest' Costa?

Cuadrado, Cech, Zouma and Willian all to start please.

If Ramires starts then Oscar has to as well. Cesc CANNOT play in the number 10 position.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

No Ramires. Cesc needs to improve or otherwise we might as well play some youth there. If Matic is injured, Zouma, Ake, Cesc/RLC in 4-3-3

The lack of goals is becoming a concern of late...

the way we are playing atm the can see us losing this, we have been crap for a while now, and im starting to get sick a joses negative approach to games. we have got some amazing attacking talent in this squad and we dont seem be be using it

We don't have really amazing attacking talent, we have Costa, Hazard and Fabregas who are amazing in the attack, the rest are just average/decent players.

I would like all players who fucked up yesterday to be benched. I know I am dreaming but I'd love to see a team freshened up with some youth players.

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

Azpi--Zouma-JT--Luis

------Matic--Ake-------

Cuadrado-RLC--Hazard

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

That team looks competent and has flair. IMO Remy will be an upgrade on Costa on current form. Also given that Fabregas never really performs in the 2nd part of the season, we should have a plan B. Obviously that plan B is not Ramires. RLC and Ake are both quick and strong enough to cope with the physical challenge of the EPL.

You are being a bit too drastic I think. RLC hardly ever plays as a no.10 when playing for our U19/U21. Why do we feel we can chuck him in as a no.10 now? He played no.10 in our U21 game against Leicester last week and struggled to make an impact on the game. Ake has hardly played football all season so that is a no. This is a game where we have to take seriously. Southampton almost have a fully fit team. No time for just chucking the likes of Ake and RLC for this game ahead of players like Willian. Hopefully Fabregas who will play I assume is just played in his best position.

BIGGEST GAME OF of the season.
