Closed Chelsea v West Brom

Where is the German?

Pretty much expected lineup. Didn't see Azpi at LB coming, though!

I am dead curious to see the interaction with Hazard on the left flank. They somehow seem a bit similar in movement ...

IMO Mata doesn't start because he simply hasn't earned it. I like the line-up and I'm happy for Willian and Azpi.

KTBFFH!

has lampard earned it?

[NishC300 1,865]

Juan Mata one of the finest players in England is not getting a chance to play. I seriously don't know what to say.......

KDB might as well lose hope now that Mata's not even starting.....

[TrippingStep 336]

Is Schurrle injured?

Azpi in the team, great, I like the way he positions himself to play one touch quick passes.

[aerlgenx 49]

no Schurrle\???/

That front 4 is lethal. Hope Lampard has a good game...

[bushman 2,043]

well, Jose´s project is on, somehow. let´s see today.

As nice as Mata is and as well as he speaks about doing what is necessary for the team, I just don't think he'll put up with this much longer.

He'll be sold I feel. He knows he can be nailed on, first choice just about anywhere else, but unfortunately for him we have a prototypical Jose player in his position.

If we can swap or sell him in exchange for a world class CM like Gündogan it would be best for everyone. BVB wanted Kagawa back, so why not give the a better player in exchange for a player we need? Just a thought.

Tbh, obviously there where clear favorites for Mourinho from day 1. This meant other's had to step up to earn a spot in Mourinho's eyes. KDB, Schürrle, Mata all had their chances to impress. But they all lack consitency this season.

KDB is gone in January, mark my words.

Since i didn't see the midweek match, i fell like it's been ages since i last saw Mikel play, i sort of him miss him now!
Also Mata. .

Good team for me though, Hazard to own WBA!

[Stingray 9,441]

I so hope we absolutely rape West Brom !!

has lampard earned it?

TBH I knew someone was going to say this and I was about to edit my post and say that I don't like the fact that Lampard is playing.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Schurrle?

KDB is not competing with Mata for the same spot. He is though with Willian and Schürrle

[Strike 7,200]

Mourinho is biased towards favorites
