Hybrid Angel

Have a feeling Jose will surprise us all and will attack United in this game. He has shown in the past that he is capable of surprises in big matches and I feel this is one of them. Zouma in midfield for me would be a great choice. He can mark Fellaini out of the game and Matic can deal with their other midfielders. My line-up would be: Courtois Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Dave Matic - Zouma Willian - Cesc - Hazard Remy

Talk about Solanke, Brown and Musonda all you want but this guy is on another level. He reminds of me of Hazard in every aspect except he is stronger. I really want us to wrap up the League so him and maybe some other Academy players get a chance. It will be a crime if he is not promoted to the senior squad in 1-1.5 years.

Don't tempt Zoro.

I would be more worried about this game if we were on form like United. Being the underdogs based on our recent form gives us an advantage with our players point to prove something. What I'm expecting: - A fast start to the game, pressing high up the pitch and allowing players like Willian to play to the best of their ability. - A plan for the right side, Ivanovic won't be dropped so all we should expect is a plan to deal with the crosses coming in. - Not parking the bus after we score a goal, controlling the possession and looking for the second should be the priority.

United is a serious threat for the title next season. It will take us more intelligent signings and better performances than this season to win it again, that's for sure.

Definitely one of our worst performances of the season but happy with the three points. Agent Rob Green performing his first contribution for us and many more to come.

Honestly shocking how a lot of pundits are picking him in their team of the year. Seems like he has an incredible ability to convince people that he is the best right-back in the league despite being pretty much abysmal all season. I wonder if they see him apart from his goals.

Some of you need to be reminded that this is the Premier League. As I was reading through the pages of this thread it sort of reminded of all Liverpool fans last year where they thought the league's results were already decided before playing us and Palace. We have some tough fixtures, QPR, United, Arsenal, Liverpool AND West Brom. Playing Tony Pulis' team away one week before the last fixture of the league makes me nervous as hell. I don't want to sound negative but with our recent form it wouldn't be surprising to see us drop points in most of these games. I want Jose the play fearlessly in these matches and not be conservative, it's about time we show what the champions look like... Come on Chelsea!

goallllllll puncheon

Yessssssss goal for palace

Don't see Palace holding this... City are just hammering them at the moment.

Zaha how could you miss that.

The game against Stoke proved if we play him in the #10 role and press high up the pitch, he will play to his best ability. Him starting there shouldn't even be a question anymore.

Thanks to the group that won us the Champions League but mainly this legend, we have the pleasure of watching Eden Hazard play at the bridge and being where we are in the league table. P.s: loved his cheeky move at the end.

Gets a chance and yet again he delivers. Fantastic player with a fantastic attitude.

Ivanovic, Cahill, and Oscar start, What. A. Surprise. Honestly starting to believe they have Mourinho's nude pics.

Chelsea team v Stoke (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Remy. #CFC

He's started a contract saga and then done an interview with the BBC without telling anyone at his club. Do we really want a player like that?

Surprised nobody has posted this. According to sources in England, Chelsea are ready to make the first formal offer for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke (AS) #CFC #Atletico €60m is required and what #CFC are willing to offer to acquire the services of Koke. Mourinho has already given his approval. (AS) #Atletico Make it happen Jose.

I think we can all agree Jose has been over-conservative in a lot of our big matches this season. If we manage to win the league,hopefully a lot of the pressure will be off his shoulders. I hope he will know exactly what to do in the summer transfer window to increase the team's flexibility in terms of playing different styles at different stages of the game. Koke - Will allow us to keep the ball and also have an eye for goal when the team is ahead. Him being a very complete player gives us a huge advantage in these situations. Varane - Cahill has been a disgrace this season and loses it when the slightest things go against him. Varane will be our present and our future alongside Zouma. Kondogbia - We really can't expect Fabregas to be battling it out in midfield. If the team is under huge pressure and we need more defensive qualities on the pitch, Kondogbia is our answer. Positionally very good unlike Ramires and Mikel and attacking wise he good as well. Other option: Khedira. Icardi/Dybala - I feel the need for another striker because Drogba doesn't seem to cut it anymore. Most of top teams have more than 1 world class strikere and although these two are not world class, they have a huge potential to be so. Also I really can't find a striker who is willing to sit on the bench.

Literally -100% of him coming here, or even anywhere (in the next two seasons.)

Oscar does have the potential to be a world class player, it's just his lack of consistency and certain liabilities in his game that are making him look unable to be a great #10 and imo the reason we should sell him and make better investments in that area of the pitch.

I don't think all this fake injury talk is true. Why would Diego switch to Spain? Surely it was because he actually wanted to play which is the chance Scolari never gave him. That being aside, he has a very strong and dedicated character and it would be very unnatural of him to do such a thing.

I think we've had him for long enough to realize he is a striker that needs to play games. Whenever he has got an injury or suspension this season, when he omes back it takes 3 or 4 games for him to be his typical self. I hope this break doesn't affect him too much as we're entering the most important stage of our campaign.
