!Hazard!

If only we could clone Kenedy and put him into the right-back position as well. Also, replace Costa with Demba Ba, Samuel Eto'o or Didier Drogba and we are good to go.

Costa's positioning is a huge concern, He plays as the lone striker but keeps on drifting to the left wing and thus leaving the box empty. Hazard has been superb.

Best bit of football this season.

He really doesn't have place in our XI unless Pedro starts riding the bench. We need goalscoring threat from midfielder though but who you gonna drop out? Unless we turn Willian into a central/defensive midfield Willian Matic Teixeira Pedro Hazard Costa

Stones and Christensen would be amazing for the future if we are planning on playing tikitaka. I'm not convinced on Zouma's ball-playing capabilities although he is physically a total beast.

FIFA beast few year ago. I remember playing career with A.C. Milan and he was a beast until I traded him for Thomas Muller. Maybe one day we'll do the same.

Under attacking manager he would play at fullback. I would love to see something like Baba - Hazard and Willian - Pedro on the flanks against some pub teams at least. I believe that's how Pep would play this squad.

Scored a great solo goal today for the U21s. But honestly, I can't even enjoy that goal because it kills me that Jose has pushed him back to the youth teams. Throw Cesc and Oscar to the reserves and give Ruben the run of games you promised!

thats a good lineup! only if we had a more technical version of Ramires then it would be perfect. Sad not to see Remy though

Valbuena and Benzema

Willian and Baba were great and Matic and Cesc were finally showing some glimpses of their talent. Still not perfect though, but the football at times was definitely better mainly due to having two real fullbacks. Jose has to realise this by now, football in 2015 requires two attacking and technically capable players at fullback positions. Our pressing game also requires those. Costa and Oscar were absolutely terrible and there has to be other options for those positions. Remy and Hazard/Pedro/Kennedy/Traore come to mind. Also, even though Ramires had a decent game, at times he showed that player of his quality should not be in Chelsea's XI. He is a nice lad and a fine player to have but not at this level. Such a shame the board didn't approach this issue and buy "Ramires with a brain and technique"-kind of player the fans have been screaming for a half a decade now. It continues to cost us severely in our attacking play.

Best set-piece taker in the world at the moment. Both the direct and indirect deliveries from his right leg are just amazing. Something bizarre has to happen in order for Willian not to receive the player of the season award come May.

Very much the same thoughts in here.

Time to recall some loanees? Ake, Baker, Solanke, Van Ginkel.....perhaps Kalas or Christensen to put the defensive line out of their misery? There are solutions and using Zouma at RB isn't one of them.

Any lip readers out here figuring what he is saying?

When AVB was fired, Di Matteo took over and turned our season with a squad that was miles away from the one we have now. Steve Holland or some youth coach should take over now, make the necessary changes and few transfers during the January window and prepare the squad for next season and for Guardiola era. But, I believe we will choose Hiddink for the interim role and I would be fine with that as well.

Hazard and Oscar have been shit. Jose, change one of them for Kenedy at half time. Please.

Exactly. I would have put Baba-Kenedy on the left-wing and Azpi-Willian on the right-wing with Hazard as the no.10 and RLC/ Ramires and Mikel in the pivot. At least that way we would've had extreme levels of workrate on the flanks as well as some decent attacking ability. If Klopp is smart and chooses to build a bus in front of Liverpool box, Chelsea is going to be completely clueless in attack with Mikel-Ramires in the pivot and right wing completely missing in the attack whilst the left wing (and essentially our entire attacking play) is dependant on which Hazard decides to show up today.

Cesc on the bench!! Jose has seen the same light Willian saw prior to joining us. I don't believe it. But Zouma as a rightback brings back the levels of depression... Also, in my eyes this might be one of the last real opportunities for Oscar to make a statement. If he fails today, there is no reason not to play RLC from now on as our no.10.

Maybe Baba will provide some width for Hazard so lets hope that Eden will have a season-changing game tonight. Still don't understand picking Zouma though and leaving out RLC makes no sense whatsoever. Disappointed with your selection Jose, yet again.

Hmm tough to say whether that will happen or not, time will tell. Hazard would compliment Suarez and Messi really well tough.

As a fan of Hazard, I hope he'd go to Barcelona rather than Real Madrid. Not a supporter of Barca by any means but that team, their mentality as well as stability would suit him much better. He would even look better in Blaugrana than in that cum-coloured shirt of the Royals. Neymar might be out of the door and out of Messi's shadow according to some pretty unreliable sources so Eden would get his place. That being said, this day was clearly coming, we all knew it but I think Jose's tactics made him do this earlier than when it should have happened. Trying to make one of the most naturally gifted players of the 21st century into a fullback is a fucking disgrace so I do not blame Hazard for his decision (if this is true which I truly believe it is). Real want Hazard? Give us Bale AND Varane, At the moment, Bale ain't worth what Eden is and Perez knows it. Most important thing would be to get those players, give them Ramires, Cuadrado or whomever for all I care but both of those players are a must at Chelsea especially if we fail to sign Stones. Any other world-class wingers or defenders out there next summer? Not really....Griezmann is nothing more than a rich guy's Cuadrado and Reus is too injury prone and inconsistent.

Costa Kennedy Willian Hazard Matic RLC Baba Cahill Zouma Azpilicueta Begovic I hope Baba is given the start even though he was far from convincing. Azpilicueta wasn't that good either when he was new at Chelsea.

So Hazard doesn't defend enough, RLC doesn't defend enough.....and yet he keeps Cesc on the pitch week after week. Jose has lost it beyond repair I'm afraid. He wants to make Eden a fullback and turn our brightest academy talent into another Mikel. I'm lost for words.

Are Baker and Solanke playing well together? I hope that's why they are both at Vitesse for now and I really hope they are squad members for us next season.
