Closed Steaua Bucharest v Chelsea

[Rambo 1,729]

I will go fucking insane if Rafa starts the likes of Hazard or Mata for this. If Marin doesn't get his start for this game then he never will.

We've said things like this like 100 times this season.. I just got tired of repeating it.

Rest Ivan, Azpi, AC3, Lamps, Mata, Hazard, Ba

Ba is ineligible to play in this competition so he will be rested anyway. And instead of playing Terry it might be best to go with the partnership of Cahill and Ivanovic. As i'm hoping that JT will be rested for big game against Manchester United at the weekend. But other than that is more or less the same team that I would've picked as well.

[nachikethas 1,149]

I'd rest Azpi and one of Mata and Hazard but not more.

Like most i'd rather win vs Man Ushite-ed. However would like to progress to the next round of the europa league as well.

at worst, a 1-0 loss is acceptable, we cant afford to conceed too many, and an away goal would be good, we can easily do them at the bridge.

most of our decent players should be rested. it wouldnt be bad if some palyed a half. if mata and hazard played till half time that would be fine. I would like to see Ake play in a game like this.

HOWEVER rafa doesnt think like this, we will have a team which would most probably be best described as AWKWARD. but as long as we dont lose by more than 1, we have no injuries and our main players are not tired, it is a good result.

We gonna win dis one

Mata. Hazard has been rotated far too often recently and he even had that 3-game break because of the ban. He has looked one of, if not the most freshest of our attacking players recently.

Yes but Mata missed the Boro game and is arguably more important to the team. I say start Hazard and if things aren't going too well put Mata on around 60mins.

That was his 1 and only game he didn't play in 27-28 games under Benitez. Team must learn to play without relying on Mata too much.

That's something to work on later, right now we just need to win the next few games.

Personally I'm not too bothered with the Europa League with our main priority lying elsewhere though going on a winning run would help to build momentum and confidence. That being said, we would have more than enough to beat Steaua Bucharest if our players are at their best, even without Mata.

Is like our legs are on double peddal,we must win both games,so a team like this can do the job.cech cole cesar cahill iva lamps mikel rami mata hazard torres.
