Kevin de Bruyne

i think he will start tonight.

Same here, he could be important in our champions league run

[Fastrobbie 26]

Hoped KDB would get a start today, but looks he's warming the bench again. Makes me little sad.

[LukakutoStamford 779]

He's being wasted at the moment. Granted there's a lot of depth but I just get the feeling he'd be better off at a club where he can play most of the matches, I just don't know if his future is at Chelsea

[harneth 15]

Do I have to draw a picture? Ok.

[Weckerz 3,781]

Haha, Belgian boards are going mental over Mourinho not playing KDB.

He deserves a chance right about now though

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Should be the first name on the team sheet against fulham imo.

[Tomo 21,733]

I hope he gets to start against both Fulham and Swindon, Tottenham aswel if he shines in those two.

Our other attacking midfielders are hardly setting the world alight right now so this is his perfect opportunity to play his way into regular action.

PLAY HIM PLEASE!!

[kellzfresh 7,229]

We need him and mata now. Bench hazard for fulham, he probably needs a rest

Schurrle or Willian will likely play on the left if Hazard is sitting (which he should). De Bruyne might get a chance on the right but I think it's more important to get Mata going (actually probably the single most important thing for Chelsea right now.) After the Willian signing,, De Bruyne moved down to become our #6 attacking midfielder. Maybe he can play his way into playing time, but it's hard to see him getting a lot of playing time with how crowded Chelsea's attack is (and with Mourinho liking to bring on 2 strikers late in the game).

Yes its hard for him to get playing time. But for some reason, ive never seen KDB and mata play together. They both have vision and it will honestly help the teams attacking woes when people completely park the bus.

I think people have figured mou out. Park the bus with everyone except your striker behind the ball and we cant do shit. The only way we can stop this is to play more creative players with vision, which are mata, KDB, willian.

KDB'S crosses >>> anyone so thats another reason he's needed. we need more crosses in the box

The reason is because both are atrocious defensively. It's OK to have one player like that, but you have 2 and you are asking for trouble.

But we've failed to score more than 2 goals in any match. Its bugging me. I would prefer to outscore opponents than score one goal and do fuck all after like we've been doing.

Jose just needs to trust creativity honestly and form a constant starting 11 so that we can have some team chemistry

[SykikJV 146]

Chelsea's best game this season was when we played Hazard-Oscar-De Bruyne with a real striker. After that game, they haven't played together anymore. Real shame and not the right decision in my opinion.

Mourinho said after the Basel-game that they couldn't create a lot of opportunities. Well, if only you had someone on the bench with the perfect abilities for such a problem, don't you José.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

I would play Kevin or Oscar in one of the pivot roles alongside Ramires in the next games.

We can't dominate or even compete in any midfield battle with Lampard leaving gaps everywhere.

If the problem is that we can't win the midfield and dominate teams, then the ideal solution is hardly to play an attacking midfielder deeper and give him more defensive duties than he is used to.

The good thing about KDB is he can play any role in midfield, and do it with great succes. He's just one of the most naturally gifted players you'll see in the game.

Still prefer him on one of the flanks though, considering his exceptional crossing. He can still come inside and play one of his famous through balls as well. Plenty of options with him, a lot more than any of the other Chelsea midfielders IMO.
