[Keikoismad 162]

Team: Cech; Azpili, D Luiz, JT ©, Cole; Ram, Mik; Haz, Mata, Oscar; Torres. - subs: Turn, Fer, Cahill, Bert, Lamps, Benay, Moses.

[Keikoismad 162]

Pretty good lineup imo

[Sheva. 5,373]

The lineup is too strong lol. Should have rested Oscar maybe and play Moses, and also no need to play Azpi and Cole.

[Hutcho 8,443]

So no one is getting rested really... Pretty much the first team...

We better run them over then, considering we have an important match on sunday, so we don't want a long gruelling game and could do with getting it done early.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Our best line-up (plus Torres). Is Rafa making good decisions this week?!

[iceboy 984]

Yeah but where is Ivanovic ?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Would have preffered to see more of a second team, but at least we should be able to maybe continue what we were doing vs man u, as that worked well when mikel came on.

[xPetrCechx 13,411]

Where is IVA?

But Great Line-up, except torres.

[Dan Ionescu 7]

Good luck to both teams this evening! I hope we'll have a great match!

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

The wrong lineup. Top-4 must be the priority and this is a normal starting XI which means that we're going to be playing a worse team against West Ham. Yes, we should be able to beat West Ham at home with a lesser side but we should also be able to do the same with Bucharest.

[Jase 43,478]

Not liking Benitez's lineup. Why play such a strong team here when the West Ham game on Sunday is even more important?!

[xPetrCechx 13,411]

IVA?

[different level 1,054]

Wtf?! If we fail to win against West Ham Rafa should definitely be sacked.

[Milan 17,798]

IVA?

definitely rested, he has played so many games recently

[bushman 2,043]

Our best line-up (plus Torres). Is Rafa making good decisions this week?!

Well, no matter what RAFA does, there is someone to complain here.

I believe Rafa wants the team to hammer those Romanians in the 1ST half &then rest the players.

Chelsea is coming out smoking, trust me.

[The Mak 4,458]

Fat boy really wants a trophy...

[Kezza 1,965]

Looks like he's fixing to put the game to bed quickly. Hope it happens then he can take off some players at half time or some shit

[Mufassir08 2,400]

The writing is on the wall.We beat steaua 4-1 but lose against west ham 2-1 while both spurs and arsenal win.RAFALUTION!!!

[Milan 17,798]

3-0 half-time, make subs, rest players and I am happy
