CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think Jose is cooking something up tactically. He had the final training session at Cobham instead of in Germay as is usually the case to keep the session private. Draxler has scored two and assisted one of Schalke's 4 CL goals. Expect Schurrle to start on his side to help defend against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect Schurrle to start on his side to help defend against him. absolutely especially because the alternative is Mata - who's very slow and Oscar isn't that fast himself either (supposing Oscar plays RW and Mata CAM). Of course there's also Wilian. If it was up to me I wouldn't even have Mata selected because I think this match isn't for him at all, unless he's fixed as a CAM (even then I don't see Mata as the best asset for counter-attack football, something I expect to see us playing more often tomorrow), but Kevin isn't on his best form in the team, so I expect him to fail to be selected. Oscar looks like a 'trombadinha'... he does look like a hobo edit:also the press conference reporthttp://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3505041/title/mourinho-we-need-points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willian's work-rate looks great so far, but I don't think he's fit in 100% yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,914 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Oh, it's okay FOX. I'm sure there are millions of Americans just DYING to watch Celtic v Ajax tomorrow.Seriously, Chelsea is hugely popular and rapidly growing here in the States and I haven't been able to watch a single bloody one of our CL matches so far and tomorrow's isn't televised either.So fucking annoying that I just want to strangle whoever decides which games are on.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Big game tomorrow night! Hoping for a sneaky win here.I'd go with: Cech Azpi Cahill Terry Bertrand Ramires Lamps De Bruyne Oscar Schurrle TorresI'd like to see us take advantage of the Bundesliga experience we have in the squad with Schurrle (if fit to start) and De Bruyne (who should be ready to prove himself on the big stage). I picked Torres over Eto'o because I think we could do with his new found work ethic, making sure the defenders don't get too much peace. I also always think we look stronger with Cahill and JT especially away from home. Azpi comes in for a bit more attacking impetus on the right hand side.COME ON CHELSEA! Prediction: 1-0 Scorer: Oscar our Champions League hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prediction: 1-0 Scorer: Oscar our Champions League hero!My take on it:The less I see of Cahill in a Chelsea shirt the betterIt's too big a step up for KDB, from being sixth choice to starting in a crucial Champions League game, we'll have Schurrle as our Bundesliga expert, that should suffice. Any of Hazard, Willian or Mata should start for their quality and CL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 No torres even on the bench? come on Eto'o is the best out of the 3 forward's tactically and away in the CL, a lot comes down to tactics, while Ba and Torres is like head or tails at the moment. I choose Ba because Felipe Santana is the kind of player that would gobble Torres up and spit him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I totally disagree, i am not sure i could even pick which is best, they have all been pretty terrible, i would hope they do improve though. It hardly ever happens but i would play Torres and Eto'o together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hardly ever happens but i would play Torres and Eto'o together.Whenever i saw Santana play for Dortmund he was a menace who wouldn't give the attackers a moment peace, just the kind of player that makes Torres hide in matches.I doubt we will see them play together unless we have a stupid injury crisis at attacking midfield, and even then they won't both be up front, Eto'o will probably drop back to the right were he mainly played for Inter.
