I know it but I don't get why would we keep name Drogba on the bench.. We sold Torres, we have Remy now. It's unnecessary to have two strikers on the bench.

Why on earth do we have two strikers + Schürrle on the bench? I would prefer Salah or Aké instead of Drogba.

Well, we can't buy Cavani to be a benchwarmer, can we? Remy is a dangerous, experienced striker and his wages are acceptable. In his first two match he played very well, I'm sure we can count on him.

Carlo has been chasing Ramires since he joined Real Madrid. Also, Mourinho got rid of the players he disliked(Mata, KDB, Lukaku, Luiz) but Ramires is still one of the first names in the starting eleven. I don't think if we would sold him for Pogba but I'm sure we won't let him go in order to get Khedira..

Yes, he liked them a lot but Lampard was 36, Cole was 34 when we let them go. Ramires is 27 these are his best years.. Also, Khedira is not better at all than him.

Ramires is Mourinho's (and every former Chelsea managers) favorite, he would never sell him especially not for Khedira.. Are you joking?

He is very useful when we park the bus - like last Sunday - but Schürrle and Salah are much more dangerous.

You are right, I was reading the article too quickly and skipped the ligament damage part.. I feel sorry for Marco, so unlucky.

Aké is one classy son of a gun.. Unbelievable.

What are you talking about? Spraining an ankle is not necessarily serious.. If he is lucky he can be back in a few days.

Aké of course..

No TV chanel will broadcast the match so you don't have to hurry.

I know it's highly unlikely but I'd love to see this team tonight: Cech Dave - Zouma - Christensen - Filipe Mikel - Aké Salah - Oscar - Baker Remy

I believe Zouma, Omeruo or Christensen can make it here. Chalobah is not a CB but a DM. Mourinho gave Varane a chance when he was 18, that's why he is so good by now. Zouma and Christensen are outstanding talents, I firmly believe they can become world class defenders but they need to play. Also, Varane is not a fucking god so we don't have to cry because we missed out on him. We have the money so we can buy fantastic CB's or produce a Varane for ourself.

I agree but I would get rid of Willian and play Schürrle instead. Courtois - Iva, Terry, Cahill, Filipe - Rami, Matic, Fabre - Hazard, Costa, Schürrle

He just signed a long-term contract which means Real Madrid is serious about their future and so is Varane. They would probably let him go for 40-50 millon but he is not worth that much money. There are plenty great CB's out there. The most important thing for a CB is to build a good partnership with the other CB. If we signed someone for 50 million and he can't make a great duo with Cahill it's wasted money. We haven't even tried Zouma or Christensen. They are young, sure, but Varane was 18 when Madrid signed him.

Costa and Remy has been playing a lot since august, Mourinho probably wanted to rest them for the following weeks. Drogba was shit last night, sure, but we should have beaten Schalke easily anyway. We could have score 2-3 goals in the first half.

Drogba just had a two week long break while Remy played two matches for France.

Well, Daily Mail and Caught Offside reported it so I'm pretty sure it's true.

So are Santana and Fuchs, Meyer, Groetzka and Farfán.

Who cares as long as we score 6 and 4 goals? A 3-2 win is just as fine as a 1-0. Also, we won't attack so agressively against stronger teams. I'm pretty sure we'll play in Etihad like we did last season.

I agree.. Modric and Kroos are fantastic creative players but they can only be effective if a psycho like Matic plays next to them.

To be fair, Costa plays in a team where Fabregas, Hazard, Oscar (and Ramires ) are constantly feeding him with good passes. Everton has been shit this season and Lukaku has players like Naismith and McGeady behind him. I don't think Costa would score 7 goals in 4 matches at Everton.

Why is Wenger forcing 4-1-4-1? 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 would be more efficient for their squad.

We will play against City next week, he might start against us.
