Closed Chelsea v Schalke

[Billy. 2,742]

Jose said he made 11 mistakes. So 11 changes maybe? Lol

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Willian has to play, and if Mourinho is fair and really believes in the meritocracy he preaches, Lampard should not even make the squad, KDB over him in midfield any day.

MY starting 11 against SCHALKE:

Cech

Iva Cahill Terry Bertrand

Ramires Mikel

Willian Oscar Schurrle

Torres

[kellzfresh 7,229]

No mazacar

If we play mazacar, then no torres and lampard with them.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Win this one and against that Romanian side and we are through. Easy stuff.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Play Willian in the middle, with Schurrle and Hazard beside him.

[Stingray 9,441]

I am so curious what kind of rabbit Mou is going to get out of his hat after the '11 mistakes' ...

[Jype 6,398]

Just realized I'm not going to be able to watch the game. Usually that has meant a comfortable win and the last time that happened even Mikel scored a league goal so I'd say we're safe.

[Strike 7,252]

Cech

Azpi Ivanovic Terry Bertrand

Oscar Ramires

Willian Mata Schurrle

Torres

Not gonna happen, I know

[The Mak 4,459]

As long Willian and Schurrle start and Lampard doesn't, i'll be happy.

[darrus 422]

I have a feeling Lampard gets dropped for this game. And please either Oscar or Mata but not both at the same time.

I'm hoping all the players' pride is wounded enough to make them want to show everyone what they really can.

Schalke is prone to atodestructing in matches of any importance, especially in Europe, so there is hope we won't even need to do much. And even the draw won't be much of a drama. But we need a win - mostly to stop all these talks about November being cursed before it affects the players' confidence.

The you probably won't be happy..

Hasn't done so and won't change it all of a sudden. Will see most of the same faces again with those sacrificial pawns, being sacrificed again..

I hope so. I myself think I am often a jink of some sort, often when i go to the toliet, the team scores and i miss it

[NishC300 1,865]

Win this, so we can play youngsters in other games.

Out of interest, what did you make of Lampard's performance in the match away to Schalke?

[Sheva. 5,373]

No.

Ugh DP.
