Closed Basel v Chelsea

[Rapkun 668]

So basically we're playing the same line-up as in the WHU game, only with Willian instead of Hazard.

Mourinho said he was resting the players from the NT break so I was expecting a few more changes.

[Hutcho 8,443]

To be quite honest, it is a very unbalanced bench. Too many attacking players and no defensive options!

What if Mikel gets injured? What if Terry gets injured?

Terry won't get injured because he is a beast.

And if he did, just chuck cole on, put him at left back. Move Ivan over and put azpi back at right back.

And if mikel gets injured, we slot rambo back in there and go 4-2-3-1.

Jose calls it, rotating my ass, while I cut me hair.

Oscar playing CB because he is a beast

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Btw like I said, so predictable. Mata's Chelsea career is over now for sure unless Jose get sacked at the end of the season.

Continuity people... there will be time to rotate the team a bit once we win this match.

Mourinho only will rotate this squad when one of the players get injured.

[Shakez 755]

What do people expect?? With this squad a major player will always be left out. I don't expect major rotations till the end of december maybe. Im not saying it's healthy for the team atmosphere but it is what it is now. KDB is likely getting out in january so count him out, and if the situation stay's as it is, Mata is also in danger at the end of the season. I hope not though cause he was our best player the last 2 seasons.

Probably in the pre-season!

Yeah right, because you know the future!

If Terry gets injured, we will have to play with Iva + Cahill. And we all know how bad they play together.

And if Mikel gets injured, we will go back to the flawed pivot of Lampard and Ramires.

I never said if anyone gets injury we would have to give up. Of corse Mourinho would work around and find a way to fix it. But that the bench is unbalanced, that is crystal clear!

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,755]

We need to blood in a young defender. That one defender on the bench is embarrassing. No reason Schürrle, hazard, Mata, and KDB should all be taking up bench space.

[LegenTerry 263]

Soooo,another match without Mata,very very disappointed.

[Jase 43,479]

Well the clock is ticking down for him... so meaningless matches like this would help his chance. If he doesn't get to play Basel you can be damn sure he won't get to play against teams that are more than decent in the BPL.

Riiighhhttt. Clearly this Basel match is meaningless when we need the points to officially secure qualification for the Last 16.

You're either being ignorant of Basel or just trying to hard to be controversial or provoking here...

even if we lose 10-0 we will still beat that Romanian side anyway on the last day so,,,

sounds as if this is another game weve lost

IN MOURINHO WE TRUST
