We have got to play better than the Everton game, it doesnt matter we had all the possession and shots, shots don't win you anything. It is the goals that matter. It was his first game so i will allow him some slack but I really hope Eto'o improves, he could have had a hat trick, but could have doesnt matter, he really should have scored, and as everyone knows we have enough misfiring strikers. This remains our biggest problem, who is going to get a goal? :(

Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc 50m

Mourinho: "Tomorrow I want to enjoy the game as I always do and to start the group phase by winning." #CFC

Mourinho: "From my experience if you start the group phase with a win it's a big step. Doesn't mean you qualify but it's a big step." #CFC

Mourinho: "I'm very happy to be back and to fight for my club, not just as a professional but in a different emotional way." #CFC

Mourinho: "This is a competition everybody wants, we want to qualify for the next stage, it's important for the club." #CFC

Mourinho: "Basel are a very difficult opponent, they've beaten Man United and Tottenham in the last two years." #CFC

Jose Mourinho confirms both Frank Lampard and Oscar will start tomorrow's game. There are no injury worries, everybody's fit. #CFC

Mourinho: "Chelsea had a dream and that came true by winning the CL. If you win it once you dream about winning it twice." #CFC

Mourinho: "The first objective of this team has to be a process which ends with an identity, a philosophy and a style of play." #CFC

Mourinho: "I had a fantastic time here before and most of the people I worked with are still here. The fans have given me everything." #CFC

Mourinho: "We want to build but at the same time win. We lost one match but if we played it 10 times we win nine and lose one." #CFC

Mourinho: "I have to focus, not in the past, but in the future. This isn't an obsession for me or Chelsea but I want to win." #CFC

Mourinho: "Let's enjoy tomorrow, I could choose a team with a lot of experience but I've chosen one with four players under 22." #CFC

Mourinho: "Porto and Inter were special clubs for me but for many reasons this is where I feel at home in every aspect." #CFC

Looks like MvG will get the start with mou saying he picked four players 22 or under. That is unless he decides to start Schurlle up top.

Torres

Hazard-Oscar-KDB (or Schurlle)

MvG-Lampard

Cole-Terry-Cahill-Azpi

Cech

Bolded are the ones that are 22 or under.

Yes, I'd rather have etoo start but i dont think he will. I'm guessing Willian will make his debut sometime during the game

4 players under 22 means???

lets do some calculations

none of our striker, cant be the goalie, he wont risk kalas as a CB in the first match itself plus none of the other defenders are below 22.

so that is 6 positions accounted for.

lamps is starting so that leaves the other 4 positions. which means no mata and willian.

so i would guess

cech

azpi cahill JT bertrand

mvg lamps

kdb oscar hazard/schurlle.

striker (who cares).

atleast i hope this is the team.

Its pissing me off that mourinho doesnt want to give MVG a chance. We had good cohesion in the preseason games when he played. Maybe because it was preseason, we may have underestimated his impact and those tackles he puts in for the team. He should play this match, we'll control the midfield(both defensively and offensively) better with him because of his quick thinking and passing.

He's young, he is getting slowly adapted to Chelsea and the huge expectation's. Unless he proves he doesn't need to be integrated slowly (like Oscar did against Juve and Arsenal last season).

Can we even add them to the squad? I know we can in the PL because they are U21, but can we do that in the CL as well?

18.08 No club may have more than 25 players on List A during the season, two of
whom must be goalkeepers. As a minimum, eight places are reserved
exclusively for “locally trained players” and no club may have more than four
“association-trained players” listed on these eight places on List A. List A must
specify the players who qualify as being “locally trained”, as well as whether
they are “club-trained” or “association-trained”. The possible combinations that
enable clubs to comply with the List A requirements are set out in Annex VIII.
18.09 A “locally trained player” is either a “club-trained player” or an “associationtrained player”.
18.10 A “club-trained player” is a player who, between the age of 15 (or the start of
the season during which he turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the season during
which he turns 21), and irrespective of his nationality and age, has been
registered with his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire
seasons (i.e. a period starting with the first official match of the relevant
national championship and ending with the last official match of that relevant
national championship) or of 36 months.
18.11 An “association-trained player” is a player who, between the age of 15 (or the
start of the season during which the player turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the
season during which the player turns 21), and irrespective of his nationality
and age, has been registered with a club or with other clubs affiliated to the
same association as that of his current club for a period, continuous or not, of
three entire seasons or of 36 months.
18.12 If a club has fewer than eight locally trained players in its squad, then the
maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly.

So that's a "No" since Josh and Chalobah were not specified on the List A.

He should let him come from the bench more often but anyways there r more matches in the next two weeks. Surely he'll even start some matches now
