Closed Chelsea v Fulham

[DYC. 7,542]

I miss Azpilicueta.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Sigh, what does Azpilicueta have to do to get a game? Forget about this Mata/Oscar debate, at least Oscar has a case for being ahead of Juan Mata.. But Ivanovic has been awful in our last few games, how can Azpilicueta be overlooked again?

[Zoro 151]

Why didnt you sell Mata if you aint going to play him Jose. I dont get it. Why waste a top talent, either sell him for a good amount or play him.

[Magic Lamps 11,655]

This side is much more defensive than what we really should play against Fulham. We can counter anyone to death with that one but it is almost identical to the one that could not break open Everton. Against any team that parks the bus, we should rather play Mata, lamps, KDB and Azpilicueta.

[Pizy 18,368]

Imagine the hell there'll be if we lose this one with Mata not even in the squad.

Becuase he's Spanish?

Sorry, seems cheap, but its the only reason I can think of.

I like this lineup, should get not only a clean sheet but a few goals if Schurrle has his shooting boots on this go around.

Because Ivanovic is clearly a favourite of Jose and Jose simply does not rotate his favourite players.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Starting to believe there's something in the Spanish conspiracy.

Torres dropped after scoring against Bayern while Eto'o gets three consecutive starts despite going goalless, Azpi can't buy a game and Mata can't even make the bench.

[John1611 77]

So he hates Hazard aswell?

Cut the crap,, your a moron if u believe that.

He was joking man.

Well, Lampard's on the bench lol

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Maybe those left out have been poor in training

[Starman60 1,343]

No Mata...........Not even in the 18!!!!!!!!!!!!! End of the road for our player of the year. And Eto up front again!! Not pleased with this line up. Hazard should be benched for his disgraceful performance against Basel

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Well, Lampard's on the bench lol

Lampard is 35 years old so he cannot play twice or thrice a week.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Jose trying to bullshit his way out when asked a question about leaving Mata and Luiz out just now.

[Milan 17,854]

Here's hoping that the players got a proper hairdryer so that's why they play today - to prove a point.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Well at least he is honest.
