Chelsea v West Brom Match Preview

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Steve Clarke is ready to be “selfish” and ruin both his son and Jose ­Mourinho’s weekend.

Clarke said: “My lad has a Chelsea season ticket so he’ll be watching from the Chelsea end. But Jose sent me a text asking if I needed any tickets for the game which was nice.

“I haven’t seen him for over five years so it will be nice to catch up with him face to face. But my job is head coach of West Bromwich Albion now and I have to be selfish.

I want a positive result for Albion.”

Hazard is better. Really better.

schurrle is PLAYING better. really better.

[yuvala 2,167]

How about something a little different:

- Eto'o -

- Schurrle - Hazard - Willian

Maybe Hazard can get more involved, plus Schurrle and Willian did well against Schalke.

If it doesn't work, get Oscar or Mata in.

schurrle is PLAYING better. really better.

He really hasn't.

strange how we would drop 3 CAMs (oscar, mata, kdb) on the bench or from the matchday squad itself just to give hazard a look in. WHY? what is every1's deal with hazard here. we are willing to sacrifice our team's win and performance just so hazard can get more involved!!!

[didierforever 7,349]

oh really??? the last time i checked schurrle got a goal against city, was defending for the team playing his heart off and in general has been far more effective on the left hand side than hazard has been (offensively and defensively).

i would have given hazard the benefit of doubt had he been better than schurrle atleast in attack, but "he really hasnt".

[quickpassnmove 924]

Azpi--Cahill--Terry--Bertrand

Mikel--Rami

Willian---Hazard---Schurrle

Eto'o

good choice--or, just use oscar deeper in a 4-3-3.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Eto'o deserves the first team squad. Finally!.... after all these years.

I totally get you, I also hate this although I do it too.

It's because we know he has massive talent that we really want to see him doing well. And I know that even though he isn't playing at his best now, he can still be important on the pitch.

I know that it's kinda wrong, but cant help it.

I think actually that we could try:

- Hazard - Willian - Schurrle

Willian seems to have some CAM qualities, and he definately deserves a start.

[Stingray 9,441]

For me, i'd love:

- Eto'o -

- Schurrle - Hazard - Willian

Rami - Lamps

Bertrand -Terry - Luiz - Azpi

Cech

Bing bong! 3-0

accepted. hazard is one of the best talents around. but what message does it send to others.

schurrle and willian - should not be dropped after their performances against schalke , arsenal (willian) and city (schurrle)

oscar - can be "rested" though i dont think he needs to be "rested".

kdb and mata - deserve a chance to prove their worth especially if the vacant spot is the CAM.

after watching jose's PC, i dont doubt that hazard will start but it would simply be unfair to others to see hazard get such favouritism specially since he has been no where near his own personal best or the team's best AM.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

- Eto'o -
- Hazard - Mata - Willian
Rami - Lamps
Bertrand -Terry - Luiz - Azpi
Cech

why are we playing saturday (not sunday) after a wednesday ucl game?

[The Mak 4,459]

Hazard is better. Really better.

People tend to go on form. By form and knowing what he can actually do, Hazard has been average so far this season to say the least. And he topped it all off by missing a training session. So no, he isn't better at the moment.

He really hasn't.

Schurrle received absolutely no support during the Schalke game because Jose had Azpi acting practically as a 3rd CB. Now compare that will Willian's performance who was supported the entire game by Ivanovic...Even if you compare their previous games, Schurrle scored against City while Hazard was piss poor against Newcastle.

I don't even think Hazard that would get his spot back so quickly but only for the influx of fixtures.

I thought Hazard was our only AM capable of doing something against Newcastle.
