Game day......whooooooo!!!

[bushman 2,043]

I expect nothing but a total hammering tonight. Chelsea needs to show these Germans who´s the boss here.

To read about insults from some kraut is totally uncalled for, I feel.

No matter who plays tonight, just whip them, badly.

[Blue Traveler 256]

I'm pre-depressed cause of international break!

Is anyone expecting Kevin De Bruyne to start tonight?

[LeonDavis23 371]

Is anyone expecting Kevin De Bruyne to start tonight?

willian and/or schurrle will come in before him if there are changes to mazacar, don't think all 3 will be changed so the bench is the best he can hope for probably

Is anyone expecting Kevin De Bruyne to start tonight?

Perhaps, you ?

[Shakez 755]

I expect Schürrle too start although i rather have Willian. Dunno what it is but i find him pretty overrated, he's excellent at counter-attacking play but that's it imo. Hope he proves me wrong, but i just can't see it. I hope José stays true to his words of not playing reactive tonight.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Happy Birthday Schurrle....start and score please.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Hope the birthday boy Schurrle gets on the scoresheet.

Happy Birthday Andre!

well we know schurrle will be starting then

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

He should have never been dropped against newcastle.

What an absolute terrible formation Mourinho chose then. It was the same as last years, and just as bad.

One of Schurrle/Wilian should be on the pitch at all times.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Just saw a tweet from Jason Cundy saying Mata, Luiz, Hazard, Cole and Lampard have all been dropped for tonight's match. It's a picture from a newspaper back page. It's a bit unfair by Mourinho I'd say, to drop Hazard after one bad game whilst it took him 10 or so matches to do the same with Lampard.

[Special Juan 27,429]

So if that's the case it will be Schurrle, Willian and Oscar as the three then.

[Shakez 755]

Then he was really pissed, to drop even Hazard. Maybe that's the schock they need, that nobody has a guaranteed spot.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Well they don't have a guaranteed spot, they shouldn't. Hazard hasn't exactly been immense and consistent has he? He like many needs to raise his game, Mourinho won't have players who's level drops whether it be Hazard, Luiz or anyone.
