Closed Southampton v Chelsea

[Santiago. 1,500]

What's everyone on about? This lineup is what I would have chose. These players bar Torres have the quality to beat Southampton. We have three leaders on the pitch And we always have Ba and Hazard on the bench

[Milan 17,853]

[Ollie 4,400]

I think he's chose the right team. They are all fresh and we have a very busy schedule. It's still a team that can win, even though it will be very difficult, i think we can win the game. Sometimes you have to take a chance. Man Utd on Monday and lots more games to come in a short time. It's not an awful team selection, you have to understand why he's gone with it.

Let's just see how it goes. I must admit though, i don't think we'll win now but it doesn't mean we can't. You can see it though can't you, we go 1-0 down, bring the big guns on and then push and push and fail to get anything. It's a big risk.

Rotation might be the key but what´s the fucking priority for this year ?

Who fucking care about FA ?

[Sheva. 5,373]

Hazard will come off the bench and beast if needed. But I'm sure Oscar and Moses can get work done.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Has a scrappy 1-0 written all over it. Hope it goes our way though..

[Special Juan 27,421]

jesus Christ what a horrid starting line up.

[Kieran. 6,317]

We have ManUtd in 2 days, obviously there were going to be massive changes. What's everyone surprised about?

[petr.breu 1,618]

I always remember on your fantastic article on chelsea-fc.cz about him

[Kieran. 6,317]

My favorite!

This lineup might do the work but it awfully reminds me of the rotated squad that was played against QPR...

[coolhead23 1,146]

decent team selected....however i believe it also underlines the fact that Rafa is giving more priority to the FA cup and Europa not top 4.

[Milan 17,853]

I always remember on your fantastic article on chelsea-fc.cz about him

Haha cheers :tophat:

[Tiwaz 539]

How are you guys still surprised with this?

[laeth 527]

With the amount of games we've got to play, I really don't understand why people are suprised.

We have to have faith in our squad - we should have enough to beat a team that was in the championship last year for goodness sake.

What does Benitez gain from a top 4 finish?, his C.V will look far better with a cup instead. In it for himself..

[blu35_army 551]

just don't concede until Hazard & Ba replace marin & Torres...

[MGuerreiro 252]

What's everyone on about? This team is strong enough, and I for one am looking forward to seeing Marin and Moses flanking Oscar.
