CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 ^^How many of you really believe that Jose is really going to make all those changes? What has he done this season to imply that he's one to make changes and rotate after a bad performance? From September onward, because tbf he did give chances to almost everyone in the first month, almost every single under-performer has been played the following match.I expect the exact same back 5 that played and 2-3 changes in the other 6 maybe.

xnaed 17 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 really hope we play Bertrand/Cole in LB, so that Azpi can play RB. It's time Ivanovic takes a bit of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Do you know who I'd like to see up front for this game? Schurrle.I stopped myself from saying it in the match thread but on occasion he looks like a white Henry. He's big, he's fast, he's good off both feet and he can finish. Plus he's never once let us down so why not go with him up front in a not-quite-a-false-nine role? CechAzpi Luiz/Cahill Terry Cole Lamps Rami De Bruyne Oscar Hazard SchurrleIf Luiz is fit then he needs a run out. Cole needs some time on the pitch too. De Bruyne deserves a chance in this game and if he does well then he starts at Palace. Oscar NEEDS to come back, Mata simply hasn't done much in his recent starts. Hazard can have another Sunderland performance and the midfield probably picks itself.We could drop Cech but I honestly don't know if it'll do much. Schwarzer is good but I'm not sure if he's a good option for the rest of the season. The permutations for Cech's inconsistency will be felt next season when we possibly move on to Courtois.

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If Mourinho is fair - since his return, he hardly ever is - Cahill shouldn't even make the fucking bench.The back four should be:Cesar ---- Iva-----Terry------Ryan/ColeEnd of..*Unless Luiz is fit, then he should start.

Phil Driver 503 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The team needs to be selected with our recent good performances in mind if Jose is fair (West Ham,Southampton,Sunderland) and that will be..............................Cech..............Ivan....Terry...Cahill...Cole (Dave was exposed yesterday) out of position........Ramires....Lampard............xxx..Oscar or Mata...Hazard....................Pass................. The rest all have a bit to prove and need to start proving it,Oscar and Mata in the ten role is a toss up but they should never start together unless it is an easy home game like Palace.

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 When is Oscar back from injury?His time off was actually great so he could have a proper rest. He's played over 100 games or so in the last 15 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edetarod 2,155 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 i can't even go into a home game with Steau with confidencei don't trust our strikers, i don't trust our defendersand Mourinho hasn't filled me with much confidence eitherwe just have to hope that the good Chelsea turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Dont u think its better to let Oscar recover 100%? I'd play Mata or KDB instead.Schurrle - for sure.Is Luiz fit ?Give Ramires the rest - definately.Ba to start - definately.Oh and Schwarzer is a good call, too.I'm pretty sure José said Ossy would be fit to play for this match, so we'll see how he is. As for Luiz, again I'm not sure - but if he's fit, he needs to play. JT looks like he's going to fall down and collapse every game he plays now.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Think people are dismissing Steaua way too easily. They've got three draws from 5 matches so far, they obviously can defend well on their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.bo 48 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yeah agree with most of comments again about rotation and 1 man and his dog can see the lack of a physical world class Cm is and will continue to cost us.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 please need to have a clean sheet at home .....i mean when the hell did we last got one?Schalke. That, and the games against Hull & Fulham right at the start of the season, are the only three clean sheets we've kept at home this season. That's three clean sheets in 9 matches (33% of matches), compared to 6 clean sheets in 14 away matches (43% of matches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
